Google Search Stories - Easy Video Creation for Marketing Efforts

Have you noticed the Google banner advert appearing on the right hand side of various hubs? -->

It leads to a Google Youtube Channel that allows you to make "Search Stories", that's been around a little while now but is gaining popularity recently.

You basically use Google searches to illustrate your story, and overlay music or speech with your story, and marketing message.

This is a marketing channel that has endless viral potential if you take a little time to make a cool video search story, as recently proven by the viral success of a cartoon about the US Federal reserve printing money, "The Ben Bernank" -->

This little video went viral and became cult viewing in days, and opened the boring subject of money and economics up to millions of otherwise uninterested people.

Basically, you are presented with a simple screen, within which to type up to seven of your own searches which the tool will animate for you.

You then overlay your soundtrack using music, speech etc as required.

This looks as though it will be pretty successful, but as always with this kind of thing, you need to get in quickly or everyone else will beat you to it and it will be old news all too soon.

We will be updating this hub with our efforts (in the making) before very long, but wanted to show the kind of thing you can do with a little effort (above) it's pretty good ->

You can also find another Hubber who's had a go making one here.

Enjoy.
