Guide: YouTube Videos (Alternate)

This is a guide to making a YouTube Video for SwagBucks!
You can make a video in two ways, using your camera to tell your story of SwagBucks, or explain in text form. In this guide, we will focus on making a video using your camera/webcam.

1) Getting Started
First, you will need your camera or your webcam. If you've purchased something on SwagBucks, bring it out for some proof. Preparation is best before starting to make the video unless you're gonna plan to split into clips then use some editing skills.

2) Recording
As the introduction, ask the viewer: Wouldn't you want _______ (fill in the blank)? [Or] Don't you wish you had _________ (fill in the blank), for FREE? Give them an idea of what you're trying to introduce to them. Keep it short and clean.

2.1) The Idea of SwagBucks
Make sure you mention the whole process of SwagBucks, what you need to do to earn, how EASY it is, and that it's all free. Move the camera/webcam to the screen, and show them that just searching can earn, and tell them the details behind the search & win!

2.2) What Prizes Are Available
Grab their attention, explain what can they get, and how easy it is to get to those prizes! If you have gotten something from SwagBucks, show the proof. They won't believe it until they see it.

2.3) Outro
Conclude everything, the most important and eye-catching points, and point out your referral link for some bonus referrals, so they know where to sign up!

3) Titling
Time to decide on a title. The title should be words or phrases you think that people on YouTube will search. Don't name the video: "Swagbucks guide" or "What is Swagbucks." If someone on YouTube is searching for a free gift card, the last thing that will come to their mind is 'swagbucks' unless they heard of it before.
Thus, good titles are simply, "Free Amazon Gift card" or Free iTunes gift card, etc. (Taken from [url=https://swagbucks.forumotion.net/referral-discussions-f7/guide-youtube-videos-t44.htm]Guide: YouTube Videos[/b])

4) Tagging
No, not literally spray-painting. Add in popular tags that is most searched. Pretty simple.

5) Description
Summarize your whole video in text form, and make sure you include your referral link if you want some referrals! Simple Process.

6) Uploading
Now you're ready! Go to your YouTube account, click "Upload", select your video, and upload! Include your Video Title, Description, and Tags.

Congratulations, you just uploaded a SwagBucks video!
Sorry this is a bit rusty, but this guide pretty much points out the whole point of making this type of video.
Good luck! Happy Swagging!

Hey, good guide thanks. did you make many videos for YouTube?

I've made only 2 videos for SwagBucks. Just a basic, short introduction and a proof video for the SwagBucks T-Shirt.
Altogether, the amount of videos I have uploaded is 112.

I'm just not comfortable showing myself on youtube, do you think there's an alternative way to doing so?

Perfect, thanks Ref! Now i Just need to figure out how to do it. I'm not very computer literate when it comes to putting together anything more than a word document lol

Great ideas here too! Thank you!

Remember guys, it'll be more convincing if you would show yourself as part-proof that you're real and not a bot. But if you don't wanna show your face to the world, go to this topic: [HERE]
