Where do you get your stats from? Do you have a list of sources or one main source?

Also, what software do you use to edit your video for use online?

Thanks,

Thanks Gord

The source is linked to in the post - i.e. the 100 million broadband users in the US - http://blogs.zdnet.com/ITFacts/?p=10400

As for the video editing, this is from a recent interview I did:

t’s remarkably simple to get a video online. Get a video camera and shoot. Then get an editing program to edit it (Windows XP comes with Moviemaker 2, Mac comes with iMovie and there are lots of reasonably priced simple editors around.). Then upload it. It’s that simple.

But of course, like so many things, the better quality video you want the more sophsiticated your equipment needs to be.

We started off with just the camera and tripod. Here’s a run down of what we have now:

Tripod
Shotgun Microphone (great to have, but you can do without for lots of simple
online video)
Firewire card ($30 US)
Firewire cable ($15 US)
Edius Pro (Canopus product) ($230 US)
Procoder Express to export from Edius (comes with Edius Pro)
Flash ($700 US)
Flash video encoder
Headphones ($30 US)
Reflector ($40 US)

The only other thing you need is great content. And great content is informative, entertaining and what your visitors want.

Hope that helps.

Mmmm - dunno about PPC - some of the stats I see for PPC fraud are a little scary - and despite what the third head Googler says they don't have a grip on it and may never be able to eradicate it.
