ECOMMERCE

So I am trying to put a video on wordpress, I'm guessing I would just import it into the media tab. But my file size is way to big. Im currently trying to find a smaller file size to export it in Adobe Premiere. Does anyone know how to use that lol?

My question tho is should I just up load it to Youtube and then get a plugin and just put it on my page then?

Thanks warriors,

It will be easier to upload your video to YouTube. You can embed it even without special plugin.

  Does this have anything to do with e-commerce, wholesale or drop shipping?

I usually go for youtube as well. There are several advantages to using them:

1) The video stream is using youtube's bandwidth. If you are only allowed so much bandwidth on your hosting account each month, streaming a video from them won't count towards that. The end users browser will actually pull the video URL from your site but then call out to youtube to actually do the streaming.

2) If you use it correctly (put your URL in the description and use all the extra fields), Youtube will give you some extra SEO boost with google. It will provide an inbound link to your website and give you an extra listing in the search engines with your video.

One suggestion, if you do use youtube, make sure somewhere on your video you have your website URL. Just because you plan for people to be on your website when they view the video doesn't mean that someone just playing around on Youtube won't run into it. And if they do, it can lead them to your website if they have that URL in front of them.
