How To Turn Articles Into Videos Automatically

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably realized that writing articles is a great way to get people to come and visit your website.  Not only that, but they can help you get some great links from other sites that will push your website higher in the search-engine rankings.

Videos

You’ve ALSO probably realized the value of videos for marketing your sites. In fact, the very fact that you’ve written an article means that you have enough content to create a video ABOUT that article.

A logical progression would be to write an article, publish it on as many of the popular article sites as possible and then make a video version of that article and publish it to Youtube, MetaCafe, Daily Motion etc.  In effect, this would be multiplying the value of all the articles you write, and, more to the point, all the articles that you have ALREADY WRITTEN!

The Problem

The problem?  TIME.  It takes a lot of time to create a video, AND you have to learn, not only the software to create the videos, but also each video-website’s way of uploading (because each one is a little different).

The Solution

Enter Article Video Robot:

Article Video Robot is a new web-based software/service that allows you to easily turn your new AND existing articles into videos.

How Does It Work?

The software allows you to enter details from each of your articles via a simple interface (see above) and click through to the next screen each time you’ve finished. Once you’ve entered all the relevant details (by copying and pasting FROM your article) you can even select images to use from their huge database.

Voice-Over

Not only does it create very nice looking videos, but it offers you a selection of voices to choose from to read the the text from your article.  If you don’t like any of the voices they offer, you also have the option to narrate it yourself.  Doing this would mean you could put the emphasis on exactly the right words and put a lot more emotion into each of your projects.

Music

If you’d rather simply have music, they also offer a large database of music files that can play while your video is showing, with the option of having both music AND a voice-over should you so choose.

Video Sites

Once you’ve finished your project, you simply have to upload your finished video to the web.  Currently, Article Video Robot support 13 sites like YouTube, but they are adding more sites each month.

There’s a great 7 minute video on their website that explains it in much greater detail and actually shows you an article being transformed into a video.  You can see it here.
