One of the advantages, of making your own videos, is they are relatively easy to do. The number of gadgets that allow you to shoot video clips is growing daily. There are cell phones, cameras, webcams, handy cams and camcorders that will do the job, since they come equipped with video recording capabilities. However, you may be interested in professionally promoting your products and services by getting website traffic from YouTube. For this, you may have to invest in a camcorder with good resolution, zooming facilities and editing features. 
You may also require video-editing software, and this could be a free version, an open source or paid a one, depending on what is the level of professionalism you are aiming for. The software will deliver the special effects, splicing and editing, and other final touches to the video that a camcorder cannot provide. Not only can you preview your own video with these video-editing software before you actually upload to YouTube, you will be able to edit them, remove something and add something.
This makes it very easy for small enterprises to produce promotional videos, without incurring huge expenses in hiring the services of a commercial video producer. Making mistakes and learning from them is allowed and encouraged, as this is a process of advertisement to promote website traffic. Moreover, the lessons learnt from failures remain with the owner. Repeats and remakes do not cost the earth as they would if an external agency's help was taken to produce the videos.
Another point of caution is the use of video material without proper permission. To make your own video look attractive, you may be tempted to add snippets from other videos. Before doing so, ascertain if you are allowed to do so. Use of material without adequate permissions, may infringe on someone's copyright.
