Video marketing is more important than ever, but what video marketing usually lacks is an easy call to action.  Steve Pacinelli discusses the pros and cons of YouTube annotations, LinkedTube and Easy Video Player to add those increasingly important buttons right in to your video.  Sorry for the 7 min length, but the info is valuable!

    Thanks for the timely information Steve. I was just trying to figure out how to link from my YouTube videos the other day. You are a mind reader. Keep up the great work!

    Thanks! This was very valuable and well described. I am certainly going to use this idea as I have many videos as both virtual tours and promotional ads for furnished condos for rent. Thanks.

    I want to add video to my new blog that i am creating. The question is should i have a separate blog for the video or is there a way to add a video blog page to my current thesis theme?
    Also I would love a recommendation on what service is the best for self video hosting, is it as popularly found on google as youtube? Thanks for all the information and work!
