Here is a straight forward guide on how to embed video on your WordPress website. It’s not difficult and it should be a regular part of your content creation process.
First thing you do is head on over to your YouTube channel and pick out a video that will compliment a post on your website.
Then click on the share button under your video and copy the embed code. Finally, in your WordPress dashboard, go to the post you want to put video on and embed the code in the text area.
Click ‘publish’. That’s it, you are all done! Now your visitors can interact with your content in a whole new way.
Why not put video into your posts? There are several good reasons why your written content should include this media. Here are four reasons why:
Reason 1: Engage your visitors with visual and audio content so that they can effectively learn from you or be entertained by you.
Reason 2: Video gives your written content a more authoritative and reputable presence. It also helps you connect with your audience because they can see and hear you.
Reason 3: Your visitors also want to know the person behind the content. The more you share with them the more they will come back and share your awesome content.
Reason 4: You also want to provide your audience with every possible tool to convey and deliver your message. Video is arguably the best type of media for that.
Need I say more? That’s right, there is nothing holding you back from creating a kick ass YouTube channel to accompany your amazing WordPress blog or website.
All you gotta do is point your smart phone at yourself, hit record and start talking. Upload it to YouTube and embed the video on your site. It’s that simple, start today.
