While almost everyone uses online video, many marketing professionals have left this resource untapped in favor of more traditional, time consuming methods. For tech-savvy Realtors it can be a huge opportunity to advertise home listings and services prominently where other marketers have been unsuccessful. With so little competition for a huge viewing audience, Realtors who do produce videos can quickly generate attention, and rank highly in search engines for keywords in their market.

Online real estate video can generally be separated into two categories: podcast content, and promotional content. These categories typically attract different audiences, and can play off one another to produce a well-rounded video marketing campaign.

Podcast content should cover subjects that can regularly updated for viewers who want to stay current on their market. Such material might include new home listings, market trend reports, neighborhood reports, and mobile phone-ready home tours. Podcast videos are usually more dialogue-oriented and longer than promotional videos.

Promotional content is the more common form of real estate video production, and typically includes company descriptions, website introductions, and traditional home tours. These videos are generally shorter in running time, but more visual and eye catching than podcasts.

Quality control can go a long way in both podcast and promotional content. As real estate video has evolved, successful producers have learned to avoid things like static shots that simply pan from side to side or zoom in (a photo is more practical for this because it provides higher resolution and allows the view to focus on the area of interest), cheesy background music, and vague, overly emotional language. Realtors need to keep in mind that people watch videos for entertainment as well as information, and produce accordingly.

Video’s popularity has not gone unnoticed by software developers and search engines. Google’s high-priced acquisition of YouTube was a clear indication of this, and a green light for the future of online video, prompting huge demand for video-related tools, services and hosting sites. Some of the more interesting developments in this area include video search engines that can parse dialogue and imagery, real estate video production companies and tools, and marketplaces which bring real estate agents and video producers together. Video mashups with other tools have also opened up new avenues for real estate buyers and sellers - one popular example is an application that combines home video tours and online mapping, allowing home tours to be searched on the map - but again, competition among Realtors is low here.

Coming up with an effective real estate video campaign may be a little harder than simply creating another webpage, but it’s worth every effort.

I need a free web hosting thing that doesn't put up its ads in your website and allows you to put up your own.
Thanks!

NOTE: I am currently looking at 000webhosting.com and was wondering do they let you have your own ads?

I'm not sure about 000webhosting, but I know that X10 hosting lets you use your own ads on your site.

If that doesn't work for you, try looking here for other free hosts.

I am going to launch a website pretty soon that we developed in ASP.NET environment (SQL Server 2005). Currently I am shopping for hosting and hosting is running around $400 per month for the options I feel I need.

So I have started thinking about buying a server and putting at a co-location (2U is enough for now). This will require setting up the server and installing all kinds of software on it.

Can somebody shed a light on setting up such a server how the licensing goes for Operating System (Windows 2003 in our case), SQL Server 2005, and some Anti-virus?

I was checking licensing of Windows 2003 and SQL Server 2005 and very confused as these are running north of $15,000 !!! I cannot afford that kind of money for a startup website which is going to receive 1k hits per day (I wish!)

Can someone suggest what kind of license I need for production envrionment running a website with 30k unique hits per month at the most?

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

It will be much better to find a good Dedicated Windows host and ask them about your requirements. The price will be much better for you, because they have received better bulk prices.

You could find some of the best Dedicated Windows hosts here - http://www.windowshostingasp.net/Top_ASP_NET_Dedicated_Hosting_Providers.aspx

I want to build a web site that will review apple's products and softwares. Can I build my site with dreamweaver then purchase a domain and it will work or do i have do that then get it web hosted? Can someone tell me why i need to get web hosting and what it will do?

1. Get a domain

2. Get hosting (1 and 2 can be combined in one shot now)

3. Build your site using DreamWeaver.

4. Upload your files to the server (hosting company)

5. Register your site with Google and Yahoo!

Web hosting hosts your HTML site files, your image files, your scrip files, etc. (every component used to design your site) - and yes, you need it unless you want to transform your computer into a host (but I don't think you're there yet)

I've used HOSTCENTRIC and SITEGROUNF for hosting. Most hosting cos are very reliable now with 99.9% uptime.

Do some research on the web. Also, buy a "Computer Shopper" magazine for loads of top hosting companies advertising there.

Also, get a book or tutorials on DreamWeaver site design. It's a very easy to use and intuitive program, but you can never know too much.

Good luck with your project.

Time and time again, internet marketers have claimed that to do business in the World Wide Web, you’d need your own website. Your own website, they say, is your headquarters in cyberspace. It’s your very own digital store where you could lead potential customers and where you offer the products you have for sale.

Though it’s true that having your own website can greatly aid you in your quest to achieve success in the online field, a website is not the end all and be all of internet salesmanship, particularly in the line of affiliate marketing. Yes, you could make a living online as an affiliate even if you do not have the benefit of your own website!

How is this possible? How can this be done? Read on, dear friend, as we discuss alternative strategies that will allows you to make the most out of your affiliate marketing campaigns without having your own webpage on the net.

Affiliate marketing is a program whereby the affiliate can earn some generous commissions for every successful sale they manage to refer to the affiliate merchant. The affiliate’s task is merely to pre-sell the affiliate merchant’s goods. The sales page, the payment processing, the digital delivery, and post sales services shall be the responsibilities of the affiliate merchant.

The affiliate only has to refer people to the affiliate merchant’s sales page. This can be done by making people click on the affiliate links exclusively provided for the affiliate. Now, these affiliate links are very important. They are like the markers for the affiliate program. They will tell the system that a visitor was actually referred by the appropriate affiliate.

Marketing the affiliate merchant’s goods without the benefit of a website entails marketing the affiliate links in a variety of channels that would serve the affiliate in lieu of a website of his own. This can be done through the following techniques:

Article marketing. We all know how powerful affiliate marketing can be in link building campaigns. But instead of providing for links to your own website, you could provide your affiliate links instead. Article directories allow you a resource box per submission, where you could tell your readers about yourself as well as leave a link of your choice. Now, you have to remember that some article directories do not allow affiliate links in the bodies of the articles themselves, but affiliate links are perfectly allowed in the resource box.

Forum marketing. Online communities, or forums, are likewise great channels where you could promote your affiliate links. Membership in PHP2.0 based forums gives you a signature box where you could advertise your links. Use this to advertise your affiliate links. For every post you will make, your signature box would appear. Post a thousand messages, and you’ll have a thousand pages advertising your affiliate links! Want to know the forums which are relevant to the subject serviced by the affiliate products you’re promoting?

Advertise in ezines. This may cost you some cash, as many ezines charge for advertising space. Nonetheless, you could expose your affiliate links to highly targeted prospects using this approach. Imagine if the ezine has a list of 10,000 people. You’d immediately be able to reach 10,000 quality leads with one advertisement. Again, you don’t need a website. Simply use your affiliate link in your ads.

The absence of your own website is never a bar to online success. Most of the strategies we have discussed here can be accomplished without spending a single cent. If you do not have the financial resources to register a domain or to subscribe to a web hosting service, you could still achieve success with affiliate marketing. Joining an affiliate program is free. Promoting your affiliate links can likewise be availed of without any charges.
