You Can Easily Upload A YouTube Video?

Perhaps if you have been hiding under a local rock if you haven’t heard about YouTube. But the fact is that YouTube has really taken the world by storm. It is now fairly easy to take a video and share it with the world.

It’s so easy to upload videos to YouTube that my two nieces are doing it almost daily. They are able to share and make videos with their friends, families can keep in touch by recording events and sharing them with their long distance relatives.

You can create a blog to make money online and share or record tutorials, advertisements, or even quick sales messages all with little effort.

I have a good friend that records videos of our guitar jams to share with other friends that have moved out west.

Can you do it?? Well here’s how you do it, so see for yourself.

Step One - Of Course You Need to Have or Make a Video. In order for it to be viewable via YouTube your video has to be taken with a digital device, a bit of digital photography. This means a digital camcorder, a digital camera, or a cell phone. I’ve taken movies of my dog with my cell phone and depending on your cell phone’s camera, they can be very good quality. On the other hand my son took a video of my wife and I but the video quality was so poor it was really unusable.

Step Two. Upload Your Cell Phone Video. If you’re taking a video from your cell phone, here’s how to upload it into YouTube

1. Log in to YouTube then go to your “Account” page from the top menu.
2. From “My Account”, under “Account” click the “Mobile Upload Settings” link.
3. Click the “Create Mobile Profile” button and enter the information required.
4. Click the “Create Profile” button.
5. When your profile is set up, you will be given an email address to upload the video taken with your phone. Email your video to that address. After it’s uploaded, you can go to YouTube and edit the information about the video if you want.

Step Three. Upload You Digital Camera Video. If you’re uploading a video from your camcorder or digital camera here’s how to upload it into YouTube:

1. Any video uploaded into YouTube needs to be less than 10 minutes, smaller than 100MB, and in an acceptable format, .AVI, .MOV, .WMV, and .MPG file formats.
2. Click “Upload Videos” in the upper-right-hand corner of the YouTube page.
3. Enter Title, Description, Tags, and Category to make it easy for people to find your video.
4. Set your video to Public or Private. Private videos would be for sharing with friends and family.
5. Click the “Upload a Video” button.
6. In the next window, click the “Browse” button to browse for the video file. Select the file you want to upload.
7. Click the “Upload Video” button. Note that it can take a up to an hour for your video to upload.

That’s it. You’re done. You now have your very own YouTube video online!
