When it comes to building your online presence, there are lots of things you need to consider, from your web design, to SEO efforts, to the articles you post – so it’s important to take everything step by step.<\/p>\n
Once you’ve got a functional website, it’s time to look at the best ways to market your website and become visible to more people. A very good way of doing this is through the use of video. Videos allow the consumer to take in more information faster than images or text alone, so having a well-made video on your website will do wonders for your business. Once your video is finished, deciding where and how you are going to host it online presents a whole slew of options.<\/p>\n
What video hosting you choose will have a major impact on your video’s performance and functionality.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This post will give you some tips on the many different aspects of online video hosting and what it means for your video.<\/p>\n First, as with all things video, there is no one BEST way to host your video online. Each method has pros and cons. Different videos serve different purposes for different people. What Company X wants for their marketing video is entirely different from what you want for your comedy video, or your client’s wedding video. This is why it is very important to look around and not just pick the first hosting website that someone recommends. (like I originally did) \u00a0You should make sure that you have done enough research about which web hosting company is best for you as there are lots out there.<\/p>\n I see LOTS of video marketing products online related to hosting that claim theirs is the BEST. I am here to tell you that is marketing hype, not fact.<\/strong> There are simply too many variables for anyone to claim their hosting solution is the only solution and is best for everybody in all circumstances.<\/p>\n So when you are trying to decide which hosting option is right for your online videos, start by considering your goals.<\/p>\n Obviously, if your goal is to have a viral hit, you would want to use a different strategy than if your intention was to sell your product to a small target audience.<\/p>\n There are three broad categories for hosting:<\/p>\n Within those three broad categories you have dozens, if not hundreds, of options. Each has pros and cons. Some are more user friendly and easier for novices, while others can be quite complicated and require someone more tech-savvy.<\/p>\n\n
