Using AzoocaCapture.com (free site, doesn't spam):

(1) Go to AzoocaCapture.com. You may have to get past a promotional page -- if one exists. If so, hit "Enter Site".

Create a new account if you want to insert a single video into multiple sites or otherwise manage the video files you have uploaded.

(2) Select "Upload File" to upload a video file you have already created using your video camera. Or, select "Webcam Capture" to create an instant video from a webcam camera. Note: If you don't have a webcam camera, you can purchase one for $29-$69 at OfficeDepot, Staples, etc. Look for a 1.3 megapixel minimum camera for nice quality videos.

(3) After you have browsed and uploaded the file, select "Save and Get Code".

(4) Select "eBay" (works with most websites anyway)

You can insert a link to the video (URL) or you can insert the HTML characters to display a video player (Embed Code). Your preference will be to Embed Code but many websites will only support a URL. You will have to experiment between the two options.

(5) Scroll down to the "Copy this Code" or "Generate HTML" windows. Highlight the text, right click and "Copy".

(6) Go to your website listing. Right Click and "Paste" to paste the code into your listing description.

-- Next, I will explain how to do this using YouTube! --

Good Selling!

Using YouTube.com (free site, doesn't spam):

(1) Go to YouTube.com.

You must have an account but it's free so why not?

(2) Select "Upload" on the upper right hand side of the page.

(3) Enter the necessary title, description, category, and tags (some way to identify this class of video). Youtube is primary a video SHARING site so they want to know something about your video for this purpose.

There are a few other options that are presented so you can control the broadcast and privacy of your video message. You can fill this in or use the default -- like most people do.

(4) Now select "Upload a Video..." or "Use Quick Capture". Select the first if you want to upload a previously recorded video clip and "Quick Capture" if you want to record from a live webcam.

(5) Select "Browse" to locate and "Upload Video" to upload a file.

The file now goes through "Processing". It will be available to your viewers in about 15 minutes (depending upon the demands on the server).

(5) To find the Embed and URL codes, you may need to select "About this Video" on the right side of the video detail screen. Click in this area -- which highlights the text -- and Right Click and "Copy" to code to your clipboard.

(6) Go to your website listing. Right Click and "Paste" to paste the code into your listing description.

I am sure other people will have other applications that share their video. This is an example of just two vendors that supply this kind of service.

Good Selling!
