There are several
different screen recording software programs you can use:
Ezvid Screen Recording Tool --
This is software that you can download to start recording your screen
if you use Windows. You can create wonderful how-to tutorials and more with
Ezvid Screen sharing tool. You can also add narration by recording your voice
while the video is playing.
Camtasia --
This is a bit more expensive, but it's a full-featured video-editing software
program with really awesome tutorials. You can record your screen with a voice
over, edit it later to cut out mistakes, and more. It's really intuitive and
simple to use.
Jing – This
free tool is perfect for creating very short screen-share videos. It’s from the
makers of Camtasia, so it’s easy to use and well supported. Even better, it’s
free, so it’s the perfect introduction to screen sharing. The only limitation
is that you cannot easily edit your videos, and you’re limited to 5 minutes of
recording time.
Using Screen Sharing
Videos on Your Blog
Videos that are made by sharing your screen are useful in a
variety of ways in just about any niche. They’re a natural fit for coaches and
trainers of course, who can use screen sharing to easily demonstrate new
software or techniques. But even if your market is new moms or crafters or dog
owners, you can still use this technology to reach your audience by coupling it
with a clever PowerPoint presentation.
Not sure what content is a good fit for video? Look back at
your most popular blog posts and think about how they can be expanded to
include video. For example, if you've written a how-to blog post of any kind
consider using that post as a script to record your screen actions doing the
same thing. Your audience will appreciate the different types of content, as
will the search engines.
Beyond the Boundaries
of Your Blog
Of course, you’re not limited to just posting your videos on
your blog. You can (and should) also post them YouTube.com, embed them into
social media (Facebook, in particular, is a great option for posting short
videos), and even in paid membership areas.
Want to get started with video but not quite ready to put
your face on camera? Screen sharing is the perfect choice. Not only is it super
easy to get started, it also helps engage your audience by providing a valuable
resource in a format that’s easy to use and consume. Give it a try! You might
just be surprised at the response from your audience.
