How to Create Your Own Search Story in 2 Easy Steps

Search Story

by Bryan McDonald on April 28, 2010

Did you see Google’s video Parisian Love during the Super Bowl?  It received good reviews and has been viewed almost 5,000,000 on YouTube.

Now you can create your own search story for free with YouTube’s Search Stories Video Director!  It is fun and really easy to use.

Click HERE if you can not see the embedded video above.

How to create your own search story:

Step 1: Enter several search terms and define the kind of search (web, blog, images, etc)

You can enter up to seven different search terms. The story will end with your last search.

Pick what kind of search you want to use.

Step 2: Pick your music.  You are given 24 different soundtracks to choose from.

That is it! Preview the video and make any changes you want.

Then upload the video.

YouTube’s search stories is a fun way to highlight your local real estate business or blog.  Let me know if you make a search story, I will link to it here.

There have been some pretty good videos created so far.  Be sure to search the search stories.

Bryan,
I through something together to see what it looks like and made a post about it here:

I might try to incorporate some other video into it later to make it a little different.
