If all your videos are hosted on You Tube and for whatever reason they decide to cancel your account… (and trust me this does happen, usually without warning or explanation), you'll lose all your video content in one hit…potentially months of work.

From what I've heard you're much safer hosting your precious video content locally or using a third party such as Amazon. Yes, you may pay a little but at least you'll have a lot more reliability, security and peace of mind. I guess you gotta ask yourself what is your video content and the traffic it generates worth to you??

I'm new to your blog so I still have many more videos to watch. After viewing one of your vids about quality I felt I wasn't taking advantage of all my Zeiss Lens Sony video camera has to offer. Now I will. So far I haven't seen a video about lighting tips but I'll keep exploring your blog. Thanks. Some very good tips here. I’m new to your blog so I still have many more videos to watch.

Seriously, there isn't any single good way to use online video. It is really just up to you what you want to produce. Don't make the mistake of overthinking it too much. Portland, all of the above.

I don't really pitch things on them. And if I were to do videos for a product launch or something, I'd put them on S3 rather than Vimeo.
