Tips to Help You Win the Aspire One Online Video Contest

Unlike other movie contests, the viewers, rather than a panel of experts judge the Aspire Timeline 8+ Hour online video contest. To win this online video contest you need to simply connect the benefits of how you will use the 8+ hours of battery life that the all new Acer Aspire Timeline gives you with the audience watching your video.

This year we've made it even easier to create your video by providing you with high resolution images and music. Simply download the images and music you feel are best for your project from our Gallery page.

Winning the video contest depends on your video getting a combination of the most views, the most comments, high ratings, most favorites, and possibly garnering YouTube honors. To create a winning video you basically need to do two things:

1. Create a video the audience likes.
2. Get people to watch it.

Here are some tips to help you accomplish both:

• BE CREATIVE Creative videos stand out from the pack. People connect with the creativity especially if you're on target with your message. Using creativity to get a point across is difficult but some of the most memorable commercials have done just that. Viewers will be impressed with the combination of creativity supported by a strong message.


• KEEP THE MESSAGE SIMPLE AND CLEAR There are many great features and benefits offered by Aspire One netbooks so make sure to drive them home. Also, ensure that viewers don't lose the message! Memorable videos are ones where viewers remember what benefits the product offers them.


• EVOKE EMOTION Emotion sells, period. People connect with things that make them laugh, tug their heartstrings or make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Don't underestimate the power of evoking a good chuckle from a viewer.


• GET THEM THERE The more people you can attract to watch your video contest entry the better your odds of winning. The best way to accomplish this is to use other online vehicles to get people to watch your video:
  
  • Add the URL for your video contest entry to your email signature with a personal note about helping you win.
  • Blog about your entry and why it deserves to win.
  • Use your social media ties such as FaceBook, Twitter, or MYSpace to promote your video contest entry.
  • If you have a personal website link it to the video.
  • If you belong to any online forums ask the forum members to help you promote your video.

The secret to winning this online video contest is to connect with the audience and promote, promote, promote. Make the viewing experience memorable and beneficial, and do whatever you can to get as many people to watch your video as possible.
