<div align=justify> What is the best way to send your message to the site visitors? Writing an article (as usual) or adding a video? The answer is obvious. However, not many people use it for their web content or marketing materials. The possible reason for that is that there is a number of misconceptions regarding videos on a site. '''''These misconceptions are as follows''''':

'''1.'' It needs a lot of money''''': There are companies that will make a video for you, but the charge may be rather high. It’s not a necessary condition for your video to be done by professionals. The majority of videos on YouTube are done by amateurs.

'''2.'' It Needs to be of high quality''''': The main thing for your video is content. In case it is really helpful to somebody, then there’s no need for it to look like as if made by an experienced director. There are more complains on unclear or low audio more than anything else when speaking about web videos.

'''3.'' Camera is needed''''': It is possible to make a video even without a camera. There are several programs available on the net that allow you to record a video from your computer screen. Another way to do this is to create a slideshow in PowerPoint and then export it as a video.

'''4.'' It is time-consuming''''': Shooting a video will take you less time than to write an article. The only case it may take longer is when you do any additional editing or effects on it.

'''5.'' It slows down the site''''': Do not worry about bandwidth, just remember a simple thing: if your videos are stored on an external site like YouTube, they won’t have any negative effect on your site. Though there is a per cent of people that will have to wait a while for a video to load due to their outdated equipment, for most other people this won’t be an issue. An alternative here is to accompany each video with a brief text description.

Still, some concerns people have about site video are valid. One of them is that search engines prefer text rather than video; they cannot index the actual content of your video and will use the title and other text on the page.

Having video on your site is a powerful and entertaining way of sending your message. It allows you to leave writing along for a while, and give the site visitors a break from reading. Both of you will enjoy it.</div>
