Dropbox business for $795 a year / unlimited storage
"Embed from Dropbox
The second option requires at least a basic understanding of how HTML embed codes work. It’s not complicated, so don’t be scared off, but it’s also not copy and pasting an embed code from YouTube. You’re essentially creating your own embed code.
You start with the following HTML5 code as a template:
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
Now, follow the steps above on getting the link to the video. Then, where you see “movie.mp4,” you’ll want to replace this with that link. For example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/os60r63ogwfl408/your_video_here.mp4.
Next, you’ll want to adjust your width & height. You’ll want to use dimensions that best fit within your site. I use this handy little chart to help me figure out the best size to ensure maximum size compatibility.
When you’re all done, your embed code should look something like this:
<video width="512" height="288" controls="controls">
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/os60r63ogwfl408/your_video_here.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>"

What is the best YouTube video editing software to start out using?
Hello and good day! The good news is that we are living in great times to produce our own videos. When I first started we needed to spend at least 20k-100k to edit professional-quality video. Now we can produce quality videos with apps that we may already own. The best software tool I would recommend to start editing is Apple’s iMovie. It is a very powerful tool that is actually easy to use and learn. The video linked below was edited with iMovie on an iPad. iMovie is already included in most of our devices. Once we learn iMovie and want more advanced features we can move up to Final Cut Pro which is Apple’s Professional editing tool. There are a lot of similarities between these two apps so the transition should be easy. The good thing about Final Cut Pro is that it is a one time charge, so there is no Monthly fee as with other tools and we get to save a lot of money in the long run. However, depending on the complexity of your videos, you may not even need to use Final Cut Pro and just stay with iMovie. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you for your valuable time and have an amazing day! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyYhM0XIIwU https://www.apple.com/imovie/DO

What free tools do you recommend for editing videos for Youtube?
ScreenFlow on OSX (Mac) works fantastic + will only set you back $100. The real perk with ScreenFlow is rendering, as ScreenFlow is a true multithreaded codebase, so will use available cores on your machine to speed up render/export time. Also ScreenFlow far surpasses FCP + Camtasia for audio quality.DF

How can I educate users about my Product?
Keep asking great questions and focusing on fixing the issues and you'll get there! Video needs some innovation to become more accessible - you're on an interesting path! Upon visiting the site - I'm not surprised that this is an issue. You are doing very little to illustrate how your product delivers value - and oddly, there is no explainer video - which for a company that produces marketing video, seems like not only an obvious move, but a requirement. You need to go beyond benefits and talk about the value, but also tie it to how you create it. Not suggesting any of the below as actual copy - just illustrating: "The marketing value of video is huge - but producing video is time consuming and expensive. We've made it easy by producing the video for you - all you have to do is pick the one you want, add text, a logo, and your call-to-action and you've got a ready-to-upload video in minutes." I'm sure you can improve upon the wording - and I may be off on exactly how it works (since we've agreed that the site isn't telling us that) - but I think you can greatly improve conversion and interest in the product with something similar. If you'd like to walk me through the product I'd be happy to provide more specific feedback once armed with the facts.RR

How can I produce successful YouTube videos?
Depends on your personality a good bit. 1) Work. You can just work hard. Speak at Meetup Groups, WordCamp (or similar), Trade Shows, Niche Conferences. Speak to many people who are interested in your topic + plug your YouTube channel during your talks. Or better plug your Website with an optin device + publish content on YouTube + many other venues. 2) Create controversy. This is niche independent. This works whether you're a militant Vegan, Trump supporter, Liberal troublemaker. 3) Run paid traffic directly to video. This depends on traffic source + their content guidelines, which seem to change daily. Likely you'll have to embed your video on your site, wrapped in content + run traffic to your site page. Likely many people will click to play your video on YouTube. 4) Most importantly, give people a good reason to subscribe + tell them to subscribe + what benefit they'll receive by subscribing.DF

Launching video website for power industry. Website will offer user subscriptions for $29.95/mo for access to 50+ videos. Should it be free instead?
Hi, Walter here. Assume I am your potential customer. I see your website because I am searching for related power industry information. I am in the searching stage, not ready to buy. No idea about your company reputation, nor have and idea of who you are. The Know, Like and Trust factor is missing. Hard to be your customer in the above circumstances. If you ask me to pay a subscription fee to access the information I am looking for, I will look some place else. --- Here is my answer: 1. Need to build up you and your company to your potential customers. a. Tell your Avatar, that's your target customer. your story on how and why you are solving their particular problem in a video, a free video story. b. Include a call to action in the email, mostly providing more updated information on the matter by email. So you are requesting the potential customer email (Opt-in) c. Once you received the email, send a comprehensive, value loaded email with things as: Infographic with statistics about your avatar problem and pointing toward your company on how to solve it. Add a video following up to the one on the Opt-in form where you got the email to start with. Remember it takes and average of 7 presentations for a sales conversion. So present the opportunity to take action every time you send and email along with value. You are building TRUST by stepping on the customer shoes and helping him up. So you will have to Opt-in options on all you emails out. Once to subscribe to your videos series and one for a survey to closely identify the customer problems and desires. Today's marketing is about story telling. Follow up with powerful value to them and build up you email list. There, in the mailing list is where your power is. That's you sales pipe, the communication channel to build your relation to your potential customer and convert them to customers when the Know, Like and Trust is build. My friend, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!WR
