If you visit YouTube, or any [tag]video sharing site[/tag], and look at the most viewed videos then you might notice that not all the videos have been created using a camcorder or digital camera. Some videos have been made using a free [tag]video creation[/tag] tool that allows you to make your own video from one or more pictures on your hard drive or where ever you have your pictures stored.

I have written about this Photo Story 3 from Microsoft before but thought that I would come back to it as it is such a useful program. This free video creation tool allows you to quickly create a great looking video from still photographs, and add text, narration, and background music, and have an end product that will look great YouTube.

Some of those most viewed videos on YouTube are nothing more than a selection of ‘sexy’ pictures of a notable model put together with [tag]Photo Story 3[/tag]. Amazingly they generate so many views and they are so easy to make as well. Have a look at this video from Bill Myers.

Other ideas, and profitable ones, for Photo Story Videos.

1. Use Photo story to create a product video from your product photos and screenshots
2. Use Photo story to create a real estate video from home photos as a Realtor or private seller
3. Use Photo story to create auto, yacht or what ever for sale videos
4. Use Photo story to create a travel video from vacation photos
5. Use Photo story to create a team video for your children’s, or your, sports team
6. Use Photo story to document a trade show, boat show, or any similar event

I’m sure you you can think of many more ideas as well
