Alright, so in this video we will be talking about how to repurpose your content marketing article into a video. So there are lots of tools out there that you can use. Obviously some better than others, obviously some cheaper than others, we will be talking about my favorites and they happen to be the ones with the lowest price. Now the first one is any model. And this is mostly aimed towards people wanting to create slideshows or presentations, but it does output video. And there are themes that you can choose there are different topics within you can create your presentation, your slideshows, so there's business, there's social media, there's photography, how to birthday real estate, and so on and so forth.
There's a free trial that you can use and Pricing starts at about $8. But that has the Animoto watermark. So I suggest going for the $22 per month subscription. And you can use your own images, you can use the images with text that you've created earlier, you can create, you can use songs that are from from their database, you can find royalty free, or even actually free free songs online and you can merge all of them together to create a wonderful slideshow presentation that you can use and share around on Vimeo and YouTube and other video sharing sites. Of course linking back to your original content, since repurposing content marketing articles is not just about increasing your authority, it's also about increasing your traffic to that specific article and to your overall website or blog. Now, the next tool that I want to talk about is one from Microsoft.
And you might not know about this one, this one is called Microsoft sway. It's a free online tool that you can use in you only need a outlook.com account. And it's similar to a gmail.com in that, once you use your outlook.com email address, you gain access to OneDrive, which is similar to Google Drive. And sway is interesting because it's aimed more towards people who are technical. There are lots of things that you can edit about. A specific presentation presentation the way it looks the way it feels.
You can add images, you can add audio, you can customize the way certain text looks and feels. And it's pretty, pretty useful and more advanced. Think of it as a more advanced version of PowerPoint or Google Slides. And the way I would use it is you have different types of layouts. And I would just use the second one. And then simply going through all of these slides, you can use these arrows here.
You can use the arrows on your keyboard, or you can use page up or page down. And I would record the screen using the tool that I mentioned at the end of this video, a free tool. Now the next tool is one from Microsoft its power Point online. And again, you might not be aware of this, since they're not really pushing it, at least not in my region. It's basically PowerPoint, you can do pretty much the same things you can do with the regular desktop version. But if you don't want to pay for it if you don't have it already, there are transitions.
There animations is the full suite of PowerPoint online. All you need is the free outlook.com account. And you gain access to OneDrive, which includes PowerPoint and the note taking app and Word Online, Excel Online, and a few others including sway. Now, how would you use a PowerPoint presentation to create a video? Well, it's basically the same idea. There are three basic steps number one, create the PowerPoint presentation within PowerPoint online, download the presentation upload it into Google Slides, and then present it within the online version of Google Slides since it recognizes PowerPoint files, and use the free tool that I will mention at the end of this video to record the screen and create a video.
So I cannot tell you about tools to create presentations and videos without mentioning Google Slides. It's a free tool, all you need is a free gmail account. And since it recognizes PowerPoint files, they become editable within Google Slides. And you can view them as presentations online, and then using the arrow keys or space or backspace or your mouse. It becomes a interactive presentation so partly video and recording it using the fito animation. The end of this video, it becomes a video that you can download and use on sites such as YouTube and video, Vimeo, and other video sharing sites.
Now, the last tool that I want to mention regarding actually creating videos is Adobe Spark. This is a tool that allows you to create both pages and posts but also videos. And there are templates, there are examples that you can watch. It's a free tool, the quality is way up there. So I really recommend using it. And you do also get to download it right from within the online tool itself.
So closing of the video. Here is the tool that I've mentioned from the beginning of this video. It's called I spring free cam and I'm actually using it to record this video right now it can easily create screen press screencasts edit record videos and upload to YouTube. And even though it says no watermark or time limits, the watermark part is right the time limit not so much. There isn't a watermark in the free version but the limit is 10 minutes per video, which isn't that bad considering you do not want longer videos since those will bore your clientele your audience anyway. All you have to do to download this is enter your email or an email address.
It will download and it's fairly fairly easy to record you can record a section you can record full screen or a single window. The best part about it is that It also comes with a ispring video editor, and you can cut certain parts of your video, you can adjust the volume, remove noise at silence, trim audio, add fade in or fade out for your audio. And then you can save the project if you want to edit later. And you can also save your video and it does 720 P and it does look quite quite sharp. So, this was the video all about how to repurpose your existing content marketing article and transform it into a video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
