Upload Your Videos
Alternative Option 1: Hybrid Approach
You can upload videos to a video sharing service, and then embed/link the videos into each post. This gives you some of the ease of use of a video service, but also allows you more ownership of your audience and options for customizing your presentation. We highly recommend blip.tv for this option.
Alternative Option 2: Paid Web Hosting
You can upload videos (usually via FTP) to a paid web host.

Here, we'll show you how to use the Internet Archive to upload a video to the internet for free.
3 Fill in the Details
Fill in the name of your work and click next.
The next page is fairly self explanatory, with a variety of description fields to fill out including licensing information (we think licensing is so important, we wrote a whole chapter on it).
Once you press Upload Files, your video will begin to upload — this process can take a LONG time to complete, depending on your connection and video length. Just leave the browser window open, new page will open once this process is complete.
4 Get Your Video URL
You will be redirected to a page with a link, click it.
If you see the same page (from step 4), wait five to ten minutes and reload.
Once the video has processed, a new page will load, revealing your media.
Now right click (on mac, ctrl + click) the filetype, in the left side-bar, and select Copy Link Location (Copy Shortcut for Internet Explorer). This copies the video URL.
Now that you have your video URL, you're ready to make a blog post.
We're always looking to improve these guides.
