Tutorial: How to Submit Video Content to Associated Content

Submitting content to Associated Content is a great option for any freelance writer. Associated content also adheres to the needs of freelance video makers as well. Here is a simple guide on how to submit video content to AssociatedContent.com

Steps

1. Click "Publish" on the top right of your screen, this will take you to the opening submission page for audio, video, text, and slideshows/pictures. On the left side of the screen click "video" and click select. This will take you to the video submission page.

Remember that video submissions must be in .AAC, .AIF, .ASF, .AVI, .DV, .MOV, .MPEG or .WMV format. The limit to the video size is 15mb. There are ways to convert your video to these types of files if you have a different format than the ones allowed.

2. You'll find that the video submission page is rather simple. Video submissions are not eligible for upfront payments. However, video submissions are frequently featured on the front page and are eligible for rewards, so you may actually get payed more for your videos than your text content on associatedcontent.

3. The keys to getting hits on your videos are relatively simple. Your headline should not only directly match the content in your video, but should also be very searchable. For instance, if you video is about cat's dancing, a headline of "Cat's Dancing" will arrive much higher on search engines than "My Cat Tom Dancing" because the keyword is connected. Play around with different keywords and you will find that simple phrases are usually the best headlines in this sense. The second way to promote your video content is using the search tags. Similar to the headline, search tags should directly match both your content and what viewers commonly search for. Using search tags that aren't too different such as "dancing cats, cats dancing" is not a negative thing. You want your video submission's keywords to be as closely related as possible while still being different. You will most likely find that over time your newer video submissions are getting better traffic than your older video submissions on associated content because you have developed an understanding of how keywords in general work.

4. Your video caption should contain a few sentences describing your video submission. This can be anything from how the video was made, the materials used, camera's used, etc. The video caption is a good way to increase traffic. A video with a nice caption will almost always receive more traffic than a video with a less enticing caption. Make sure your caption not only sounds good, but has a few keywords in it.

5. Give credit where credit is due. Your video submissions to associated content, as any other content, should be properly cited and sourced. There are entry spaces on the video content page (right under your actual video submission) for crediting and citing sources. Do not leave these blank if you have sources or need to credit a business, group or person.

Follow these simple tips and watch your video submissions to associated content reach skyhigh views and receive a bounty of attention.
