If you’re not using Google, then you need to consider all that this amazing company has to offer. Most amazing of all is that it is free, open-source and easy to use. There are literally hundreds of How-To videos available online for everything Google has to offer, so there’s no excuse why you can’t learn how to use it yourself.
I use Google Apps and the Chrome Browser all of the time, and consider Google Drive as the ultimate workhorse and use it for safe storage of all of my files. It’s encrypted and secure, and governments trust it with their data.
Of course, if you don’t have a lot of free time, we’ll set you up with a Google account, and with it comes GMail, Google Analytics, Google Photo Album (Picasa), Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Chat, Google News, Google Reader, Google Checkout … well, you get the idea. Google is steadily infiltrating the Internet with its products, including companies like YouTube and maybe soon, even Twitter.
One thing you need to know is that Google searches the Internet and ranks pages and those with YouTube videos rank the highest. We can help you create your own customized YouTube channel, and we can help you create and add a short intro video. Connect it to your website, your Facebook Fan Page and your Twitter account, and soon your site’s ranking will climb.
YouTube
Founded in February 2005, YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.
We’ll help you setup your own YouTube channel and then work with you to help you create your first short video to post. We can help you find the right artwork and music, and help you edit your video’s text content. We also will help you set up an basic Animoto video account with one year’s service, included in the fee.
