You might have observed these type of ‘About Me’ videos on celebrity websites and weblogs. This tutorial is on creating a quick and simple ‘About Me’ video which you can put in your website or Weblog’s ‘About Me’ page, as a sidebar widget as a welcome message using lightbox display.
The most important thing is to keep your video short, especially if you want it to be seen world wide. There are many countries where Internet speed is very slow and charges are very high so if you make small video then it would be easy for netizens to watch your video.
What To Feature In Your Video ?
You can make your video more interesting by walking and showing your street, where you live, showing yourself working on your laptop, your webcasting place, your gadgets, you in your favorite hangout spots etc etc with your voice in background or you can simply feature yourself standing and telling your story under a tree or wherever you like ;-)
