WMAGA >>
WHAT MAKES A GOOD AD (WMAGA)?
These tips are some handy bits and pieces that we believe will make your Bizads more effective. When making your Bizad, make sure you implement as many of the following sections as you can to ensure you make a good ad for your business.
Personality
When making your Bizad it is always important to display your personality the best you can. Be sincere, genuine, honest and yourself. Remembering that in some cases people may choose you over other businesses because of your more suited/relevant personality. Try not to be dull or boring!
Memorable, tasteful humour
Where relevant, jokes and humour can get your target audience involved, therefore making your business more susceptible to a call, lead or purchase.
Honesty
Make sure you are honest about any jobs you can do or have complete prices for services and products that your business is involved in.
Competitiveness
It is best to include an element of competitiveness over other businesses in the same field or category as you. This will encourage potential customers and clients to use or buy into your product or service. Things to include are: competitive prices, promotions, quality, range of services, potential discounts and location etc.
Short and to the point
If you have a look at many ads on TV, few are over 90 seconds in length. The best ads are the short, memorable ones, so if something doesn't need to be there, you may not need it. But experiment, and try lots of different things! Once you have a Bizad Business membership, you are free to upload as many times as you like! We have set a 50 MB upload limit so you should keep that in mind too.
Genuine
It is a good option to be genuine about the product or service that you are advertising. This will help resolve any future issues that may arise due to false or misleading information. Be truthful about your product or service, more importantly, don’t be untruthful.

What should be in your Bizad

Example of what you could say
This is for a Personal Training business:
“Hey, I’m Rob Scott. If you’re struggling to meet your goals of losing weight, bulking up, writing a program or just generally getting fit, then I’m the personal trainer for you!
I operate my own home personal training studio, which is located in Rowville, in the east suburbs of Melbourne.
If you’ve always wanted a personal trainer, but struggled to afford one, my prices are one of the lowest you’ll find. The prices that I charge are: $20 for a 30 min session, and $25 for the full hour, both of which are great value for you!
If you want me as your personal trainer, take a look at my contact details. Remember, keeping fit doesn’t have to be a chore!”

Choosing a Good Video Camera
With so many video cameras available these days it's really hard to know where to start if you're looking for a new one. Here's a quick low-down of the main types of cameras that are available, and our opinion on what will be good or bad for making Bizad videos
Movie Mode on a "Point and Shoot" & Flip Video Cameras
Most people have access to a simple "point and shoot" digital camera, and most offer a "Movie Mode" where you can record videos on them.
Pros: • Easy to use, • Affordable
Cons: • Often bad video quality and framerate, • Usually carries a small resolution, • Audio is often muffled (it may not even have audio), • Limited camera controls (zoom, focus, etc)
Consumer Camcorder (SD/HD)
A dedicated video camera is a good idea as they are designed to record video and most will have a semi-decent microphone built into them.
Pros: • Good video quality, • Affordable, • Easy to use, • Older MiniDV tape formats are easy to edit
Cons: • New AVCHD format is very difficult to edit, Usually no external mic input, Often will not have a very wide angle lens
High-End HD Consumer Camcorder & Professional Video Camera
These cameras will give you excellent results and flexibility, but of course, they don't come cheap with many exceeding $2,000. Our Biz-teks are equipped with high quality camcorders, so we can help you if you are after great quality, but don't have the need to buy an expensive camera.
Pros: • Excellent video quality, • Highly flexible and upgradeable, • Excellent audio quality when used with an external mic
Cons: • Very expensive, • Can be quite big and heavy, depending on the camera, • Unless you know what you're doing, can be hard to use
Video DSLRs
This is a relativley new addition to the video world, yet it seems to be taking the world by storm. Some professional DSLR cameras can now record HD video on top of their excellent still photos.
Pros: • They use the camera's 18+MP CMOS sensor so the video quality and DOF is amazing! • In some sense, they can be cheaper than a pro video camera, • Hey, they take good photos too :)
Cons: • Still very expensive for a good quality one, • Awkward to handle, as they're not designed for videography, • Zoom is not motorized and Focus is manual (which for the enthusiast, this could be a "pro". But for everyone else, this is bad), • Bad audio quality unless you use an external mic
Where to from here?
So there's our opinion on some of the main types of cameras available at the moment. If you are not sure about where to go from here, there are heaps of guides and resources on the internet that can point you in the right direction!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR YOUR BIZAD
These are the terms and conditions that you need to pay attention to when you're uploading your own Bizad. The following terms and conditions relate to two main things: copyright violation, and some of our own conditions. If you violate any of these, we'll be in touch with you about it, and you may loose your video or even your Bizad membership. So please have a read over this section carefully, because as they say, "Prevention is better than cure"!
Uploading files to the Bizad website are currently restricted to video files of 50MB or less. You must not attempt to upload any file that is intended to damage Bizad Pty Ltd or any file type than what is listed in the upload section. No video is to include any of the following:
- Offensive language
- Abusive or violent behaviour
- Damaging actions or comments
- Sexual or explicit content
- Drug use
- Under-age persons without consent
- Music, logo's or images that may breach copyright
In other words: keep it (G) rated if you can!
Use of Music
While it is tempting and easy to use commercial music in your videos, unless you have obtained the appropriate royalties for this, the use of this music breaches copyright. If we find your video to contain this music, we will be in touch with you to discuss this further. If it is found that you have breached copyright, your video will be removed and you will need to re-upload it with a different choice of music.
There are websites which offer royalty free music to be purchased. This music can be used commercially for your videos. Simply do a Google search for "Royalty Free Music"!
It is recommended that all videos stay under 90 seconds in length and represent your business in the best way possible.
If you do not adhere to these rules, your video and your listing may be deleted and you will be contacted by Bizad.
