Adopt a Blog Post – Video Campaign
In Buzz Marketing | 7 comments | permalink
Every day literally thousands of blogs and blog posts are being neglected, forgotten, de-indexed and ignored. This saddens me, so I have created the ‘Adopt a Blog Post‘ Video Campaign.
I believe that not enough bloggers are utilising online video, so this is a perfect chance for you to make your first ever online video, raise some money for charity, and get tons of FREE promotion for your website.
OBJECTIVE
Remember the blog posts from the past, before they are forgotten and neglected forever.
PLAN OF ACTION
Adopt and sponsor one of the DeanHunt.com blog posts of the past by simply creating a video version of that blog post. Thus giving it a new lease of life.
RULES
Grab your camera phone, webcam, or video camera, find a DeanHunt.com blog post that you like, and create a video version of that blog post. You can sing the blog post, you can do it seriously, you can do it in another language, you can do it however you want, there are no limits.
* Your video can’t be more than 6 mins long
* You must start the video with the line “Hello, I am (name) from (website) and this is my adopt a blog post video. I am adopting the blog post entitled (blog post).
* You can read the blog post word for word, you can give your own interpretation, you can review it… whatever you want, but it must be based on that blog post.
* There are no other rules, be as creative or wild as you wish.
* Each video will be added to the bottom of the blog post in question.
* Maximum of 3 videos per person will be used.
Why Bother?
Not only will this get you some lovely free promotion, potentially tons of YouTube and DeanHunt.com traffic for your website, I will also donate $1 to the BestFriends.org sponsor a pet program for EVERY single video published.
“If you give a blogger a headline they can create a blog post for one day, but give them Wordpress and a domain name, and they can create blog posts for life.” – Dean Hunt 2008
Upload your video to YouTube and send me the url.
Or simply email me your video to: deanhunt08@gmail.com

Brilliant Dean.
How do you think of these ideas? I am going to try and pick up a webcam this weekend, as my phone doesn’t have a camera on it.

You crack me up, what a brillant idea! Yes, repeating the word in the first comment, but it really is… got me laughing, too
Great idea Dean, I’ll definitely be submitting my videos soon.
Plus we get to pretend to be Dean Hunt again…now where’s my bra hmm?
This is really a great idea for your previous posts 1 year or 8 months ago will not forgotten. By using videos posted in YouTube, your articles way back can surely be remembered by the viewers online.
Fantastic Idea!!
I really love your idea, and am looking forward to take up this challenge.
Can you please confirm if there is a deadline for this? I already have targeted one of your posts and will prepare a video, but can’t get to it right away… but should be able within the next few weeks.
This is WILD idea! Great and out-of-the-box. However I want you to answer my query before I start on it… Do you require a real video, or a animated version of the blogpost would also do? I mean, I would prepare a short PowerPoint presentation about your post with animation and create its video. Would it do??? You know I am good at PP but not at making real videos…
Gemini,
Yes, any style of video is fine.
Many thanks,
Dean
