Find Video Websites Easily

While video websites are popping up like tulips in spring there still remains a vast void in the video search to find great video sites.

Perhaps I should define what I mean by great video websites and finding the best video websites?

A great video website is one that not only has hosted or embedded video for you to peruse but serves a purpose to your presence. When you look for video websites you are not really looking for just video. You have your needs and desires and curiosity to fulfill. These are your niche topics and that is the stuff that you will gravitate to even if you are on a video website with a smorgasbord of topics to choose from.

What happens to these huge compendiums of video are the good stuff is lost between the billions of garbage uploads with similar tags and descriptions made for deception. You end up seeing a lot of garbage and a couple gems if you are lucky.

The things that tickle our fancy maybe not the same that tickle editors at YouTube. So we are left with searching again to find people who are focusing on the things we like. Back to the search engines to do bigger sentences to find what we want? Nope, there is a better way.

The new Online TV Guide has opened a portal to the best in niche video websites. If you want to find video websites that have more personality to offer than a clone-tube then you have to give this site a try.

Updated several times a week with new finds they scout to find sites that have a niche market. Above that the sites have to have owners that are actively and enthusiastically working on their specialty. This is what the Internet net was designed to do. Bring you to the things you wanted in an easy and direct way. You can spend the hours trying to find the sites on the major search engines. Everyone is there somewhere. But it is a struggle and that is why a hand edited video search guide is just what the doctor ordered.

The Online TV Guide does not stream video but guides you to the sites that curate video specialties. You might want to know about horses, xtreme sports, college football, miniature houses, dental care, jobs, video classifieds, heavy metal music, teachers tubes, cold blooded creatures, which leads to serious political or the not so serious it is all there. If it's not there yet you can even submit a site for inclusion with no problem. Membership is free and assures that real people and not auto-robots make submissions. Commenting and voting do not need membership, just participation. The search is there and the game is on!

Music Must Be Seen to be Appreciated

It had been a glorious sunset on the mountains. One of those days when majesty and glory seem to be in the fresh scarlet lit air. It was a day for discovery and I wanted to find some new music, a new band to listen to and share with my friends. I went to that awe-inspiring compendium of video on the web YouTube to try and find some new Independent Music groups. To my amazement I found nothing but the big major label brand names that are everywhere anyway. I wanted to find new music!

I realized as quickly as the winter’s night closed the last sunset there was a problem. With days of work I could find a few interesting groups on YouTube, but quite frankly, the picking is very slim and I know there is a lot of good music waiting out there. Look, that is what you need to think about, look and be seen. You have to be seen to be heard and music video is the way to do that.

The first goal is to get you musicians to create more videos from your already existing tracks. My next goal is to point you in a direction where you can be easily found.

Towards that first goal I shall point you all to get on your movie maker programs that should be on the computer you peruse the Internet with. Assuming you have a PC. If not you must get access to a simple editing program. Dump your full quality soundtrack onto the timeline and start making a video. Take images of the band or make them up and create a video around your music. Something tasty.

A good place to get images and film clips that are public domain, for your new impressive video production, is the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/details/movies. There should be plenty there for you to work with and get your taste buds moving. I have not only pointed many a band to this treasure trove of clips but have seen the extraordinary videos that have been fashioned out of them.

If you are stuck for creative juice in video gather up your friends. Ask your visually inspired friends to do it for you. It is on your computer, easy to use and produces a file you can upload almost anywhere.

Once you have that file you must upload it everywhere. I mean everywhere. You have to get on YouTube because you just have to. At the same time you can be sure that you will never be found there. The only views will be your friends, family and you. YouTube thrives on the traffic you bring them and you will get a few strangers that may fall into your material. It is a billion to one shot but people get hit by lightning too. Do not depend on this to be your key to world stardom or discovery. You must expand out and find places to be seen.

I always suggest that musicians put their stuff up at MusicTV http://www.MusicTV.com/share/ because they are a strictly niche music site. Here you upload your music video where they convert and hosts your material in FLV format. They give you code to put the video on your own site, blog or wherever at the same time as promoting you on a music only site. You put your own keyword tags and do not have to add “music video” or “Independent Music” and can focus the keywords on what your group is all about. You can additionally select up to three categories, or genre, to display under and the search looks at tags and descriptions to provide results. The tags become relevant to search as well as the terms in your description.

You can put your music and favorites into a group and be found in groups and search. All of a sudden you pop up in searches everywhere! You get on the front page easier and you can be found. People are there for music and it is broken down to genre for them with easy search. Everything is fed to the blogosphere with RSS feeds! That means all content is broadcast to all the important news consolidators on the Internet. It is a great starting point for any group.

The best feature at MusicTV is I can find and share all the new music on this site because the site is all legal. No one is allowed to upload “Madonna” except Madonna. So that makes this a home to the Independent musician. MusicTV.com is an independent music site for independent musicians who want to be seen since 1996.

Online TV Video Search for Dummies

Online TV video search is the easiest search I have found yet. While it has not grown to it's full potential it is already chock full of goodies.

I really like that the community is about niche websites. There are no videos actually at OnlineTV.com Video Search. It is all about finding niche video websites.

Why Niche Video Websites?

These new and popular websites are the beginning of people publications that are reachable and useable by people. If you go to a monster conglomerations site you find a lot of trash in between the goodies. A search for "metal" will get you more than metal music as will a search for metal music.

OnlineTV.com Video Search is like a new world. It combines a hand built search engine with community interactions in a social environment. Allowing members to post sites, site owners to post their sites and everyone to review and vote on them sharing the information with friends. Niche is the future for web content and for video search there is onlinetv.com
