We've added some free resources to the Linknet Marketing Forum which focus on Audacity - how to get it, install it, and use it.

Newest resources include the free report called Recording Audio Like a Pro. This free report includes links to Audacity, some Audacity tutorials, and a number of other audio and video links.

It also includes a new “how to” video by Todd Gross describing how he uses Audacity. Todd is an internet marketer who uses video and audio extensively. He is a former professional TV weatherman, so knows what he is talking about (don't they all?)

To get access to the free resources in the Linknet Marketing Forum you just need to register - there's absolutely no charge. It’s a valuable resource where we’re adding only quality products and resources that we can wholeheartedly recommend. Join the Linknet Marketing Forum and get free marketing resources.

There are two distinct issues you have to address, and for the newbie both of them can be pretty overwhelming.

First, there is the little problem of actually creating the video. I don't want to get into production in this post. I'll save that for later. Right here I want to address the second issue...

How do I get my video on my website?

The first thing you have to do is choose whether you want to self-host (host it on your own site, or another site you have access to) or use one of the video sharing sites such as Youtube. (I will use "Youtube" as a short form for "Youtube or other video-sharing sites".)

The advantages of self-hosting are that you have full control over the way it will appear, what the thumbnail will look like, and a few other things. You will also not get the Youtube branding or accompanying ads that they are often putting with videos now.
