How to Upload a Video to YouTube

by Steven Washer on January 17, 2012

Knowing how to upload a video to YouTube might be one of the givens of video marketing, but for many it’s a stumbling block. If you want to market your business using video online and can’t use YouTube, you’re truly one of the “have-nots.”

So let’s start your transformation into a video mogul right now.

Step 1: Find your video
Step 2: Go to YouTube
Step 3: sign in
Step 4: Click on “Upload”
Step 5: Click the Upload button
Step 6: Navigate to your file
Step 7: Click “Open”
Step 8: Fill in 2 blanks
Step 9: Save it!

That’s it. But check out the very ending to make sure you don’t get trapped in the YouTube twilight zone!

The Magnificent Seven Ride
One thing I can say for sure is that I did not come up with this name. It’s a bit embarrassing to be classed with these guys. But don’t let that keep you away. You’ve got to see what they’re up to. I was a little blown away and intend to implement a bunch of things I’ve learned from the Magnificent Six. I suggest you do the same. There’s nothing to buy but a lot to learn.

…not that you needed it!

But I find that when people first come to class, this is often a secret problem they don’t wish to share. So now, hopefully it will no longer be a problem.

Great video, Steve!

If I start drinking vanilla chai, will I start being as suave as you are?

Really? Suave? I have been compared to Tom Bosley. “Now Ritchie, you and the Fonz wipe your feet before you come in the house!”
