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

guide or DIY video guy, whichever one you please. He's going to help you with your videos.
