One a recent Google Search for small towns in the Northeast my wife and I could visit for a day trip or weekend getaway - we were lucky to find a little corner of Central Pennsylvania called Lewisburg!  We have started to research this area extensively because it has such a vibrant community, plenty of activities, and seems like a nice place to vacation for a long weekend.  In my search I came across two very active video bloggers.  Although I am not sure they even know how powerful their video snippets can be!  With the power of the interent, anyone from around the globe can now peer into this little town and decide to drop in for a visit or sign up to attend the local college!  Using video to spread your message about local and regional events can be very powerful today…

Here was a little bit of my recommendation concerning the video blog I found which talks about Lewisburg.  You can see a few clips online if you visit YouTube and do a search for "Life in Lewisburg".  It's a great collection of clips, and I assume many more will be coming soon.  I hope the recommendations I sent to these ladies will help.

And I think these video blogging recommendations will actually benefit my blog readers too.  Done properly a video blog with a regional focus can be a fun and easy way to start earning a little side income as well. Consider asking local vendors & advertisers to participate.  You can get some content for the video blog, and they can get some exposure to a hip crowd of online shoppers!

First, understand that if you are even considering a video blog that you have struck GOLD! If you didn't know so already Google Loves Video! At present Video and Blogs seem to be the newest "heavy weights" with Search Engine Ranking algorithms.  Blend the two and what do you get - the results are clear with online shows like Ze Frank, Rocketboom, and the Jet Set Show.

Secondly - I recommend moving your videos to a self-hosted Blog.  Although YouTube and other video sharing services allow you to upload videos to their service, they also leave a branding stamp in the corner for everyone in the world to see.  Yes - YouTube is hip and cool - but not when you are trying to build your Own Branding!  Post the Videos on your own blog, and then use a Video Ranking Service to distribute your videos to the Top Video Sharing sites like YouTube, DailyMotion, Google Video and others.

Then write some killer copy to compliment the video you are showing.  Write some content aobut your show, the products & services you featured.  Introduce your guest with a little biographical information.  Provide some links to the local vendors, or current activities and events you mentioned!  Make sure all the content you write is full of keywords which will help increase search engine awarenress of your site - and as a result Visitors!

Visitors are equal to "eye-ball traffic" and the more "eye-ball traffic" you can get - the more valuable your "virtual real estate" becomes … Long story short - you can begin including Ads from Vendors who will pay you for doing what you love!  Running a Video Blog site!  OK - so how do you go from "Nothing" to a Stunning, Traffic Generating,  Video Blog with Vendor Ads using a teeny tiny Marketing Budget?
