We have started cooking contests on our site and while the recipe submissions have been great, getting contestants to submit a video has not had a very good response. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get people interested in submitting their videos?
They probably are already interested.
The problem is time.
You need someone to hold the camera, the video files can be huge if longer than a minute or two..long time to upload...and then there's editing, which many people don't know how to do.
It's not like just sitting down at your computer and recording a short rant like Youtube etc.
So the only suggestion I would have is to offer them tools to help ease the issues mentioned above.
Probably not what you wanted to hear...but that's how I see it.
