2 Ways to Embed YouTube Videos on WordPress

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn

Are you ready to take your blog to the next level with videos? Adding a video to your artist blog will reach an audience that prefers video content over just reading a text post. In this post, you will discover how easy it is to embed YouTube videos on WordPress so you can start building a sizable following.

Embed YouTube Videos on WordPress 

You have probably noticed how popular videos have become on YouTube and social media sites.

Videos are everywhere, and many artists are doing very well building brand awareness by implementing videos in their art marketing strategy.

Best of all, you can create videos from your smartphone, and it costs nothing to upload and embed YouTube videos on WordPress.

Would you like to reach a larger audience?

Creating a YouTube channel will help you reach a new group of people interested in your artwork and help your blog posts rank higher in the search engines.

How can videos help blogs rank higher in search engines?

Google wants to refer to high-quality content people enjoy. One way Google knows if people enjoy content is by how long they stay on a page. Videos will help you to keep your audience on your page for a longer period of time helping you to rank higher in the search results.

How to Embed YouTube Videos on WordPress 

If you have an older version of WordPress (2.9 or older) you are required to embed the code from the video site. Newer versions of WordPress have made it easier to embed YouTube Videos on WordPress due to video popularity.

Upload your video to YouTube.

After your video is uploaded, Click Video Manager on the left of your YouTube dashboard.
