The rapidly growing video site YouTube is the hottest feature of the internet, writes author Michael Miller, in his comprehensive video training book YouTube 4 You. Focussing on how to use the power of video, for gathering and sharing information, the author provides an indepth study of how you can benefit from the new media availability.
Packed with screenshots and photos, the first book written about YouTube is presented in four easy to follow sections. Each segement provides the reader with more tools and information required to take advantage of the viral power of YouTube. For Michael Miller, the phenomenon is much more than one of viewing pre-recorded video, but is one where everyone can add their own productions to the system. For people with a message to share, whether vital to the world or only a small circle of friends and family, YouTube democratizes the video medium as never before.
The first section of the book, Michael Miller (photo left) provides a background and history of YouTube, and why the site is an important one. The second section describes how to find and share the videos currently available. Part three focusses on a step by step process for creating and uploading your own video segments. The fourth part of the book teaches how to use the YouTube community effectively and how to add video power to any blog or website.
For me, the power of YouTube 4 You is in the easy to understand instructions, for using the video medium effectively. The very generous use of screenshots and photographs, leaves the guesswork out of the equation, for even a novice internet user. The step by step instructional section, for creating and using your own video images, is worth the price of the book alone.
Any business person, non-profit organization, or anyone with a message to share can benefit immeasurably from this book. Product demonstrations, seminars, and even video resumes are just a few of the unlimited uses of video to enhance marketing, training, and public relations efforts. The use of the video medium is only limited by your imagination, and YouTube 4 You provides the tools to help YouTube work for you and your audience.
I highly recommend YouTube 4 You by Michael Miller, as a hands on training manual, for adding the power of video sharing to any blog or website. As the YouTube phenomenon continues to expand, the opportunities for video presentation have never been greater.
Read YouTube 4 You by Michael Miller, and get the power of video and the viral potential of YouTube working for you.
