Marketing With Video - Email Tip

For a couple of years now I've been talking about the benefits of using in in email.

Some of the articles include:

Video In Email Can Increase Web Traffic

If you are using an e-newsletter program like Constant Contact or Mail Chimp sharing video in your emails is very simple to do.

But what if you just want to share a video to a few clients, and send out a small direct email blast from your inbox?  Many email such as Yahoo Mail and others don't allow you to directly embed video into an email.

One workaround for doing this is through YouTube.

Once you have a video hosted on YouTube, there is an option on the videos page to share it via an email.  If you email the video to yourself then you can use the video image and link that YouTube sends you to share the video to others.

Just click to forward this email, and then delete the portion of YouTube's email that you don't want others to see.  Then you can save this to your draft email bin, and when you want to send it out just and the rest of your email message, subject and send it like you would any other email.
