- A Good Webcam with built-in Microphone - Choose one with good Mega Pixels. If you can't afford it then you can even use your smartphones!
- A Good Microphone - Sometimes you just want to speak and not record yourself.
- Camstudio or Camtasia - For Desktop recording
Procedure and Tips:
- You can be creative in how you represent your content with a video. If you have an attractive voice and can speak English fluently then its best that you talk to viewers by recording yourself while you present your Post. Else you can simply use camstudio or camtasia to record your desktop .
- Give it the same title as that of your blog post title. Since you choose your blog post titles carefully therefore it is a good practice to give your videos the same titles.

- Always add a background music to keep viewer entertained. Sometimes people watch your video over and over again and recommend it others because of the cool background music at the back. Of course music is irrelevant for you but it puts a psychological effect and multiplies viewers.

You should be much [a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/10-tips-to-hatch-out-as-blogger.html" target="_blank"]more creative[/a].
