Summary
Today's question comes from Fay, who is looking for a good, cost-effective video hosting platform. Here are my suggestions. YouTube is best for public videos and is the most cost-effective option (http://youtube.com/). Wistia is a more expensive option, but it will give you the best data and is ideal for paid communities (http://wistia.com/). Vimeo is another good option for videos in a paid course (http://vimeo.com/). Also, hear why I think you should upload videos directly to Facebook. Learn about creating great videos from my friend and videographer Caleb Wojcik (http://DIYVideoGuide.com and http://DIYVideoGuy.com). Do you have a question about video? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Also, share your advice with #AskPat354.

| 0:25.5 | Hi, Pat. This is Fay McLean, and I have a blog called Property Investing Support.com. |
| 0:33.1 | And my question is, I would like to include a lot more videos on my blog, and I'm wondering |
| 0:40.1 | what you would recommend for cost-effective video hosting. |
| 0:45.4 | I am aware of YouTube and Wistia and a few others, and I'm just wondering if you have any ideas as to something that is reliable |
| 0:58.3 | and I'm looking for something that gives my consumer an enjoyable experience |
| 1:04.7 | as well as being cost effective from a business with a low income. |
| 1:11.6 | Thank you. Hey, Faye, thank you so much for the question. Just to get right down to it, if you're looking for the most cost-effective video hosting solution, it's going to be YouTube by far because it's absolutely free and they have a lot of options. They give you a lot of great data that even some of |
| 1:27.6 | the other paid platforms won't give you although wistia by far is the best out there wistia.com |
| 1:32.4 | but you do get what you pay for because you pay quite a bit but you get a lot of amazing things |
| 1:36.7 | and i would say that once your business starts going if you have a membership site for example |
| 1:40.8 | that has videos in it wistia would be the ideal platform to use. There's also |
| 1:45.4 | Vimeo or Vimeo Pro, which is a little bit less costly than Wistia, but Wistia by far is one of the |
| 1:52.8 | best. They are built specifically for people putting videos on their website platform. And I would also |
| 1:59.4 | recommend checking out, this isn't a video hosting |
| 2:01.9 | platform, but this is a video resource you can use. That's Caleb Wogick's website at DIY video |
| 2:08.5 | guide or DIY video guy, whichever one you please. He's going to help you with your videos. |
