Blogging Tips: How To Implement Videos On Your Blog To Get More Traffic And Readers

So, would you like to optimize your blog content to gain more readers and get more traffic? If you add a video to your written content, you will logically reach more people. Someone asked the question in an article: What do you spend the most time on? Reading or watching TV/movies?

My answer is “read,” but many people actually spend more time watching things, whether it’s YouTube videos, TV, or movies, rather than reading.

You can reach both sets of people by adding a video to your blog. This can be done in two ways:

* You can make the videos yourself.

* You can use other people’s videos.

I recommend a combination of the two. Make some videos yourself (not hard) and get various other videos from YouTube, Viddler, or any of the other video sites.

How to put video on your blog

If you’ve created your own video, which can be done in a few minutes, the easiest way to upload it to your blog is by sharing it with a video site like YouTube. After uploading, you can see the embed code, ready to copy and paste into your blog’s HTML codes.

Make sure to display the HTML code area before pasting the code, or else you won’t be able to see the video in your blog post.

show, tell

A special technique in book writing is called “show, don’t tell,” and it refers to helping the reader understand a person’s feelings by showing what they are doing, rather than just telling the reader about their feelings.

However, when it comes to blogging, it’s a bit different. Do you want to reach both viewers and readers?

I’ll tell you a little secret:

You can reach both types of people with the same blog post. This is how you do it:

Write a relevant and intriguing headline for your blog post. Then add an intro to the video and embed the video below it. Below the video, write a short resume so that people, even without watching the video, understand what you wanted to tell them in your blog post.

Hidden advantage of adding video

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that you also get a hidden benefit from using this tip.

In addition to reaching both observers and readers; Apart from getting more traffic and readers for your blog, you also get access to new and fresh content for your blog in no time. Whether you decide to make your own videos or use some you find online, you can have content ready in minutes, instead of sweating on your keyboard for hours on end.

Just remember the three steps:

1: Write a great headline

2: Embed Your Video Into Your Blog Post

3: Add an intro and summary to your video
