Video is everywhere on the internet: social media, websites, and blogs. This is in a large part due to YouTube and their gigantic user base.
There is some competition in the online video space but no one is close to YouTube. For example, Vimeo has 170 million users while YouTube has 1 billion.
YouTube is so big that 300 hours of video are uploaded every minute and almost 5 billion videos are watched every day!
In this newsletter, I’ll discuss how to record a video with the equipment you have, how to easily add a video to your website and tips and tricks for using YouTube like a pro.

How Does A Video Get On My Website?
If you are wondering how to get a YouTube video onto your site, it’s not very difficult. Just go to the YouTube website and click on the “Post Video” button. Select the video you want to upload and your video will be posted on the YouTube website. Follow the link to your video and click “Share” and then click “Embed”. All you have to do is copy and paste the HTML code onto your website. (If this is too challenging, we can help!)
