Some professional speakers have several areas of expertise. It is hard to edit a demo video that reflects this broad expertise. In some cases the funds may not be available to create a demo video. It is very important to have video footage to get speaking engagements. Here is a suggestion that can help both scenarios. Picking clips from a professionally video taped event and encode separately and post to your blog, You Tube (an 50+ other social media sites) and or website.
If you cannot manage the video hosting directly on your blog or website, the clips can be titled by subject or theme and uploaded to You Tube. Here is how this is done: Once your video is uploaded to You Tube, to the right of the playback window, you will see an embed option and a long box / window with code. Click inside the white box on the code and another window will open below it. Choose the size of player window you want as well as player color. Then, reselect the embed code and paste onto your blog or website. Make sure you are in full HTML mode when pasting into your blog or website page.
If you are not in full HTML mode, you will paste a bunch of characters into your page instead of the player. If you are in full HTML mode, you will see the You Tube player instantly.
Select clips that demonstrate your talent skills and ability and title them according to what you want to be categorized as. For example, if you are presenting time management, title the clip "Time Management for Success" or something creative.
