Video Creating Tools To Rock your Website Traffic & Lead Generation – Visual Marketing Part 2
We first Published this post on Video Creating Tools on Oct 07 2015. Then, this week, a client asked about Video creation and editing, so I felt that you too might benefit from refreshing and Updating this post, so here we are!
Why do you need video, or video creating and editing resources for that matter? To increase video traffic of course Yes?
NO…
Its to increase your sales or whatever your end goal is for doing videos.
If you prefer Visuals then Julie kindly obliged. Watch the Video below BUT you’ll need the mentioned resources in this episode below
So this is a question our son asked us months ago…and here is my answer a wee bit different from what I told him.
We create videos so they are seen, to share knowledge further than we can do so in person. So the idea is to get a message to as many people as possible and increase sales.
What better way than to create a video using video creating resources online and create an article that goes viral!
Here is the deal, if you know Neil Patel, then you know he doesn’t write about something unless its trending. Well he just posted a blog on clever ways videos can attract new customers for you via Quicksprout…Need I say more?
Okay so you may be a newbie or you just need a boost in your video creating plan? Yes?
Today we are gonna share with you some video creating tools and resources that we have learnt in this Part #2 of some of the juice we learnt at a Mastermind!
Trust me the copy and paste days are long gone. People are savvier; they want detail yet no lengthy videos. Attention spans have grown shorter yet our hunger for information has grown huge!
Yet Video does help us build a sense of trust with our audience. So below we share with you some video creating tools to blow your mind. We didn’t know most of these. One of them we already shared in Visual Marketing Part 1 go check it out.

You can shoot and create super professional looking HD quality videos. Even if you are shooting via online resources that make the process like child play.

You can add text, music, join two videos, slow or speed it up etc. Guess whats exciting; these tools aren’t limited to our PCs, we can download apps on our smartphones and tablets.
Thus you can create a super video anywhere and with a swipe of a finger share it with friends, family or professionals. So what are we waiting for, let’s share with you 7 of the video creating tools we’ve learnt about so you too can create awesome videos in minutes, impress your target audience and make more sales.
You will keep us posted of your results won’t you! Here we go:
Video Creating tool #1 Commoncraft

So if you wish to create a private show, you may have to go for the Pro/paid option. Ray Higdon, Tanya Aliza, Mashable also approve this video creating resource! So who are we to say it ain’t cool
Video Creating tool for Slides #5 SlideRocket
We’ve always got tired of creating slides via PowerPoint (PPT) then shoot a video etc. then upload it. Now there is a tool to do just that and upload the lot to slideshare. By the way we now mostly use Camtasia PPT Add-on.
Super cool way to record your Presentation and edit it so you can animate, have your PPT in MAC or PC add transitions and more cool stuff via Camtasia.
Back to Sliderocket… Our slideshare is seeing some action lately coz of this tool. Sliderocket is your slides video creating presentation software for the webinar lover.
You don’t need to download it, you just have to create an account with them. You are looking to drive quality targeted traffic to your blog and slideshare is a great place to do that with this awesome tool.
Video Creating resources #6 – Royalty Free Videos
Now while this is not strictly a video creating tool, we felt that you will find the information useful. This is a great option if you need blog content or an ad video without paying copyright fees.
There are some resources to tap into and we are gonna share a couple here! A lot of philanthropic independent artists and photographers take amazing images and footage at various events and locations and offer them royalty free.
Usually you pay a onetime fee and you OWN THE images or videos fully. The first place you might know about to check are resources like Shutterstock and Fotolia.
You could even check out IstockPhoto. But have you heard of Clip canvas or Video Blocks? Neither did we.
Please be informed that these video creating or image resources are not free, they are simply ROYALTY FREE! So under this umbrella we have shared 5 images, footage, audios and visual effects resources royalty free for your professional video creating pleasure!

This is a wonderful follow-up to the base you laid in the last post. Amazing where you two find all these tools. Great resources to use for getting the videos out there. Thanks so much!
No sense making the videos if they will not be seen — eh?
We attend events and masterminds Carol.
Not just company sponsored ones but Networking and business events even niche specific ones like this one.
And we are on a mission to not only learn but share the information we learn so we can do our bit to level the playing field.
No need indeed to make anything if the target doesnt get to see, taste, smell, feel, use, touch or appreciate it 🙂
Pauli
These are definitely great resources Julie from these tools when it comes to creating great video content!
They sure are Danny.
Yet any tool can be a super winner or a dud depending in whose hands it is and how determined they are to make it work.
Thanks for your comment.
Pauli
WOW I love it! I didn’t know about most of these resources! Thank you for sharing them!
Neither did we Jelena until the mastermind. Isn’t Investing in One’s training awesome. Its the best investment one can make. And ILT is the sauce of personal growth! Glad you like
Pauli
I love using video and the tool that works well for me is screen cast omatic. They have a free version and paid version.
We to use screencastomatic for short video recording Lorraine.
But for longer esp. training sessions or webinars Julie usually uses NCH.
Thanks for your comment.
Pauli
