WordPress.TV

By Darren On January 18, 2009 Under wordpress

As part of this blog, I offer reviews of WordPress plugins and try my best to provide helpful guides that allow you to get the most out of your WordPress blog.

The guys over at WordPress have just stepped up their game, with the launch of WordPress.TV.  The videos on the homepage of this new service are currently limited to very short, simple tutorials such as changing the post author (attribution) and publishing posts at a later date.  But if you drill-down through the website you will find a great deal of helpful videos.  Click the link below to be taken there directly.

The WordPress TV How-To- Section.

What Should be Learnt

I am increasingly becoming aware that to generate extra traffic and increase my blogs exposure, I need to be using my own videos.  Following on from my Constructive Criticism post, one of the improvements to this blog is going to be a video section.  Once I finalise the camera and where they are to be filmed, I will begin posting a weekly video to this blog.

I also followed suit and purchased DarrenSingleton.TV on the recommendation of Gary Vaynerchuk, I already own the .COM (obviously) and will use the new domain to promote the videos on this blog.

 

Have you utilized online video on your blog?  Let me know! It would be great to find out what my readers are doing.  If you liked this post, make sure you sign up to my RSS feed, you can also follow me on Twitter.

I’ve had the same thoughts as you and there is no doubt that video will be the way ahead. My only restrain is that I am simply too lazy to really do anything about it + I hate hearing my own voice :)

@Mikael, My main concern was the sound of my voice. I’m going to publish a video and see how it goes. What could be the worst that happens?

The blogging industry is white hot right now. People are all competing for the attention of the viewers on the internet. I believe that in 2009, and 2010, video content is what will seperate the up and coming blogs into the categories of successful and unsuccessful.

I totally agree that nothing bad can happen. But it still feels funny to listen to your own voice. I’ll look forward to that first video.

I agree 2009 definitely seems to be the year when video content takes off. Seperating the men from the boys as it were.
