Upload webinar videos to youtube


I upload the lo-fidelity version of my webinars to youtube.

By lo-fidelity I mean:

  • minimal editing - only start and end, and any major mistakes in the middle
  • the meeting burner recording with audio - rather than my local mic
  • edited video to remove start and end elements
  • edited video to add additional slides or music required
  • I don't edit out any ums, or ahs - that is for the later premium version
Why would I give these away when I plan to turn the webinars into a premium product that people pay money for?
  • I monetise these with ads - I don't expect to make much money from this, but every little helps, and avoiding ads is a benefit of a paid premium product.
  • I don't have to schedule timed re-runs of the webinar, so they are available for view.
  • I can link to my other products and services for organic upsales.
  • It is faster to release than a premium product.
  • I gain tracking statistic information that helps me see which types of content people are looking for.
So what would a premium product add?
  • Better audio
  • No Adverts
  • Better Editing - split into logical chunks for easier viewing
  • Additional content for explanations
  • The Q&A sections - expanded with more detailed explanation
At least this is my current plan and theory.
