HD, Mobile & Subscriptions at Viddler

Viddler2

Hello Viddlers!

We've been hard at work since our last newsletter and we wanted to take a moment to let you know about some of the things we've released to help you get your videos online and in front of as many people as possible.

Remember, if you ever have any questions - we've got a great help section full of videos and tutorials to help you use Viddler to its fullest potential.

***

Video - Mobile, HD, and desktop formats.

We believe that your videos should be viewable from just about anywhere on just about any device imaginable. We've taken a big step over the last several months to help you do just that.

Our new multi-format encoder will now take whatever type of video you upload to Viddler and encode it for high-definition playback*, for playback on mobile devices, and of course for playback in our Flash players.

Blog post: The New Multi-format Encoder: More Bang for your Click
Help article: How to encode videos for Viddler HD

  • Obviously, the video that you upload must be HD-compatible to be played back in HD. See our help article about HD for more details on how to do this.
***

Announcing Viddler Subscriptions!

We've been asked by many of our customers how they can best make money by selling their videos online. For the last few years we've been helping our customers use a wide array of products to help them do this - which wasn't very easy to set up, to collect money from, and was expensive. But not anymore.

With Viddler Subscriptions we help you set up your own video store, checkout process, and virtual theatre to let your customers purchase access to your videos. All of this can be done in just a few minutes.

Our introductory offer for this service won't last long, so set up your video store today!

New embed code options!

You might sharing your videos in a variety of ways and on a variety of different systems. Systems such as Wordpress, Tumblr, Expression Engine or Twitter. Or maybe you've built something specifically for your business. Each of these systems may require a slightly different embed code (or, the code that you copy to put your video somewhere on the Web). For all of this we've added many, many different options to our embed code panel. Simply go to Your Videos and click "Embed" to see them all.

***

API Version 2 - Much improved.

Are you using our API? You'll be happy to know that we've spent the last several months rewriting our API to be more stable, more efficient, much more consistent, and to have more features than ever before. See our Developers Site for all of the documentation you'll need.

Blog post: The Viddler API version 2, it is mind blowing!
API v2 Documentation: The Viddler API, version 2

We hope that you are able to take full advantage of all of our hard work as we strive to bring you the best tools and service for putting your videos on the Web.

Thanks,

Facebook Business Pages
Demystified for Business Owners

By Nancy McCord (c) 2010


Facebook is so popular that business owners can simply no longer consider it a site only appropriate for socializing and game playing. In fact, in September 2010, Facebook surpassed Google in regards to the amount of time users spent on their site. Facebook states that users spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook!

With 500 million active users, Facebook is the new behemoth on the Web. With its popularity across diverse age groups, integrated email application, and new Bing search integration, a Facebook user may simply no longer need to visit Google for Web searches or log off to use an email application. They may be able to experience the Web fully all from inside Facebook. With more than 50% of the active users logging into Facebook every day, according to Facebook, Facebook is now so important to your potential customers' lives that it makes sense for you as a business owner to have a presence where your prospects are hanging out on a daily basis.


Let's clear up a few things that have confused business owners about Facebook. First, a Business Page is not to be confused with a personal profile. They are two separate entities and provide different options and ways to interact with friends and colleagues.

Are Business Pages Also Called Fan Pages?

Many of you who have been using Facebook for a while will remember that Facebook used to call Business Pages - Fan Pages. Additionally, it used to be that someone "fanned you." Now they "like you." Don't get confused in thinking that a Fan Page is a different product than a Business Page - they are one and the same.

All Facebook Business Pages start with the set-up of a personal Facebook profile. That's right, a personal profile! You can't just jump to Business Page set up. The email address and name you use for your personal profile must be one tied to a person and not a catchall email like info@mydomain.com. Remember, that if you have an employee set up your Facebook account and the personal profile portion for your Business Page, you don't want to tie the new account to the employee's email address. If the employee does so and leaves your employ, you could lose access to your Facebook Business Page, all of your accumulated fans, and information without recourse.


For set up, I typically recommend that one of the business owners create a new email address specifically for Facebook. Once you have set up the personal Facebook profile, you are ready to get started. But, don't take time to add information like education and other details in this special account unless you plan on using it for your personal use. You are just setting up this account to have a platform to launch and access your new Facebook Business Page.

While logged in to your new personal account, visit this link: www.facebook.com/pages/create.php. It will take you to the Facebook Business Page creation tool to actually create your new page.

On the right side of the creation page under the heading the "Official Page" look for "Create a Page for a:" and then select "local business." Enter your page name and then tick the box next to the statement that says you are a legal business representative and allowed to own the page. It is important to understand that the name you choose for the title of your Facebook Business Page will appear at the top of your finished page.


I recommend you use proper spelling but not use hyphens or underscores in your selected name. It used to be that you had to enter hyphens or the spaces would show as non-HTML characters in the page name and URL, but Facebook has grown beyond that. For example, enter in "My Business Name" (note the proper use of spacing and capitalization), not "My-Business-Name." This name will appear in your new Business Page URL as well.

Once you clíck create, the next page you see will be your brand new Facebook Business Page. It is that simple. Later, after you've had 25 people "Like" your page, you will be able to select a vanity URL, but we'll talk about that later.

Do My Personal Updates Show on My Business Page?

After you have set up your Facebook Business Page, you can "lock down" your personal profile that was used to launch your Business Page. To do so, just alter the privacy settings in the personal account to not show your personal information to others who are not "approved" friends.

When Facebook was first created many business owners including myself, started with a Facebook personal profile for their business. Now that Facebook has created Business Pages, you can easily change the privacy settings on your old personal profile to funnel your business traffic to your new Facebook Business Page, keeping your old personal profile just for family and close friends.

When you change the privacy settings on the personal profile attached to your Business Page, it does not impact who can view information about your Business Page. Conversely, if you post pictures of your kids on your Facebook personal profile that is the launch pad for your Business Page, and you have your personal profile limited to "friends only", your kids' photos will not appear on the wall of your Business Page.

Why Exactly Would a Business Owner Want a Business Page and Not Just Use a Personal Profile?

Several reasons to have a Facebook Business Page are: the ability to contact all people who "Like" or who "Fan" you with one clíck newsletter type notes, interact with discussion questions like a forum, set up events and invite fans to attend, and even create specialized welcome and shopping pages. Your Business Page can almost be a mini website!

Creating Your Business Page Vanity URL

Once you have 25 people who have clicked that they "Like" your Business Page, you can select a short easy to remember name to promote on your website and business card. Your Business Page goes from something like http://www.facebook.com/pages/Waldorf-MD/mccord-web/129943573719686?ref=sgm to something like this http://www.facebook.com/mccordweb. Just visit this link www.facebook.com/username. You can have vanity URLs for both your personal account and Business Page.

It is very important to understand that once you have selected your vanity URL you will not be able to change the name, so select carefully.

Best Practice Tips for Keeping Your New Facebook Business Page Updated

No one wants to be spammed, but sometimes new Business Page owners get excited and post what seems like a constant flow of information on their wall. It is important to understand that what you post on your wall is posted on the wall of the people who have clicked "Like" on your page. We encourage our clients, when they are doing status updates themselves, to be courteous and post about twice a day. Facebook is not Twitter and so 5 to 10 status updates a day could get you blocked or hidden by fans when they feel you have inundated their wall with your daily or hourly updates.

Conclusion

I hope that this white paper has helped to introduce you to Facebook Business Pages in a way that helps you to feel that you can easily set one up and have fun doing it. If you haven't set up your Facebook Business Page, now's the time to consider setting one up. Facebook is only getting more popular and is actively seeking to woo the business community into their portal with demographic based pay per clíck advertising and the new integrated search with Bing.com.
