Have you ever felt that sometimes you needed a new home business idea to promote your work at home business? With such keen competition around you, do you often feel that everyone else seems to be using the same approach you are adopting to reach out to potential customers for your legitimate home internet business product or online business opportunity? I’ve come to realize it’s not so important in how unique your product or your best home business idea is but rather the way you’ve packaged it and promoted it to the hungry crowd. Introducing promotional videos by Animoto.

Animoto is a web application that automatically generates videos using the New York based Animoto Productions company’s Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that “analyzes and combines user-selected images and music with the same sophisticated post-production skills & techniques that are used in television and film”. It may well be a whole new experience both for you as a small home business owner and your customer or client depending on what type of work at home business you are associated with. The good thing about promoting these videos is that it’s inexpensive. But is it difficult to produce one for your home business site?

This application takes images that you have on your computer, adds a soundtrack (either yours or theirs) and renders or finalizes it together in a funky video format. You really don’t need moving images as it will create the movement from static images for you. And as most small business owners love, it is a free application (for videos of up to 30 seconds).

You may already know that Google bought the much loved giant video-sharing YouTube at a tune of $1.65 billion in October 2006 so personally I think it does send a very strong message about the popularity and importance of videos to all of us. Many legitimate home internet businesses are using YouTube and social networking to jump on the band wagon in getting more traffic to their work a home businesses. Animoto has partnered with Google and so any Animoto video can be exported directly to YouTube. In essence, this means that with this integration anyone with photos can contribute professional-looking video content to the YouTube world. You don’t need a video camera or editing software to be part of this action.

To give you a better perspective as to how easy it is to produce a 30-second Animoto video, let me just share this with you. I used 15 photos of My SFI Home Business I had stashed away in my computer hard disk. Once I have registered at Animoto which takes me just a minute, I am prompted to select these photos from my computer. Next I am shown a selection of the accompanying music for my video. Lastly it then creates the video for me or “renders” it. It took me just 7 minutes to finish my first promotional video for my top rated home business. While I won’t lie that I could have produced a better quality video if I had given myself more time to create one, it just goes to prove how easy it is to produce one not to mention having much fun doing it too. Here is the result of my very first attempt. It probably won’t land me in Cannes, but it’s good enough for promoting my work at home business.

Here it is.
My very first Animoto video for you to enjoy.

What’s your opinion?
So what do you think. Did you find producing your very first Animoto video was easy? Perhaps it now deserves to be seen by more than just your friends and family. Why not export it to YouTube? With 2.5 billion video streams and over 66 million unique viewers a month, you ought to have a pretty decent shot at getting seen by a few more people, don’t you agree?
