I believe that Blogging is like journalism, as we know publishing well researched contents will manage to drive the quality of every blogs. But, blog is not just about content and quality there should be something captivate and professional such as content producing style, blog’s skin, logo of the land, clean and clear design, proper images on the posts, pertinent fonts for body, header and titles to remain awesome readability and lovely presentations. If you take a deep look on popular blogs like HellBound Bloggers, Mashable they might be managed them since the beginning. Although if you drive your site on WordPress platform you don’t want to work more on it while there are tons of readymade skins available with those instincts. If you are a veteran blogger you must have been heard these things already.
Well, today our topic is not blogging, we are getting talk into video blogging (vlogging) it’s an awesome way to convert your contents into presentations instead of verbal. Even readers must find at least a video inside the best content, because if an image is worth for thousand words, a video will tell hundreds of pages worth contents.

There are a lot of screen casting tool for paid and free, but here I have compiled some best free screen casting software tools for video blogging, and they would really helpful to record your videos with proper way, edit them with proper tools and apply awesome styles.

Thanks friend these are awesome tools for Video blogging.Is there any technique available to promote our videos except Facebook and Twitter.If you know anything please tell me , i have 12 videos on YouTube.
Well, before you promote videos on social media you may want take care of its title, description and tags like a blog post, then your will get more exposure through related stuffs and search engines.
then share it on social media.. but don’t ditch “Reddit and StumbleUpon” both’re most effective source to get referral traffic and it lot works for me.
Camstudio is nice and I’ve used windows live movie maker a few times to get me out of a jam when other programs wouldn’t do something. I usually just use camtasia though but it can be spendy for people just getting started.
These are some cool Windows Apps for Video Blogging, but i would like to add that you need to have a good encoder software to reduce the video size while keeping the quality (Low Bandwidths)
You’re right Gautham, we must have video encoder apps while using videos to upload online reduce size.. but here I just listed some of free good screencasting tools that probably help for newbies.
If you get into pro-vlogging you can go for camtasia it’s a ultimate one.
