Previously, I shared with you top free video hosting solutions that allow you to straightaway distribute videos anywhere and anytime without costing you both time and budget. If you haven’t watch that yet, I recommend you check it out first. So today, I’m going to be sharing with you all the solutions that I use in my business that are paid but will still not cost you a lot money.
If you usually create long videos such as interviews or podcasts, you could use these affordable hosting services to take advantage of the limited services in free video websites. See what are these solutions that I use in this video:

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. This is part two of showing you best and the most affordable and cheap hosting solutions for videos. In the previous video, I’ve showed you the free solutions or the solutions which doesn’t cost you anything. In today’s video, I want to show you all the solutions that I currently use in my business to host it which cost just a little bit money. They’re very cheap as well to be able to run in service.
The reason why you might consider hosting videos and pay for hosting videos is it’s private membership site video information which you don’t want to share with the public or maybe it’s information that you don’t want to be able to disclose via the videos, free video sites such as YouTube and so forth. The reason why I got some of these is because I host very long interviews with bloggers and successful entrepreneurs and so forth and I usually can’t fit all those onto the free service.
Okay, so have a look at Amazon Web Service which is right here. What it’s called is the Amazon S3, you can see it here on this website and it’s basically a service which allows you to host hundreds and hundreds of gigs of data or anything that you really want and what we use the service particularly for is just to host videos and audios for the blog. If you’ve been passed my blog and you’ve seen on my blog there’s an area which you can just click on that says “Download MP3″. You see here on my blog it says here “Download the MP3″.
These mp3s are all hosted on the Amazon S3 service and you can click on this anytime. You’ll see that whenever you click on that link, it’ll take you straight to the Amazon S3 server which is where all the videos are hosted and all the mp3s. It’s great for those kind of things because a lot of services out there just don’t allow you to host large files. All right, jumping back into Amazon S3 web services, I just want to show you quick brief pricing of how much it costs. It’s very, very cheap in my experience just from using this because the fact is that they really are giving you so much space to store a lot of space for like 15cents per gigabyte.
A gigabyte is a thousand megs. On average my…for example my mp3s are probably around about 30 to 40megs at most, that’s max. I can imagine, I can probably be able to store up to 300 mp3s before I have to pay 15cents for the mp3s so that’s how cheap it is. This is what it is here, in US standard, 15cents per gig and if you get up to 15 terabytes, it’s 10cents per gigabyte after that and this is on a monthly basis. So, you can imagine I haven’t paid more than probably about 3 to 4bucks per month just to be able to have all this additional service and hosting and it’s really, really do cheap. This is something that I highly recommend if you want a hosting solution for videos and also for audios as well.
One other thing to mention as well, I found that Amazon web services just to use in general isn’t very easy to use because it’s been designed for programmers and developers but there’s a really neat software that acts like a FTP client called Amazon S3 client bucket which you can download here called Bucket Explorer or the S3 Amazon Bucket Explorer. It does cost a little bit money to buy this but I think it’s not that expensive at all. I’ll just click on it and I’ll show you how much it costs. I bought this a while ago so I don’t quite remember how much it is. There you go, $50 once-off. So once you buy that, you can use this and it acts like a FTP server which allows you to upload all your files directly onto Amazon S3 and you pretty much just run it as though you’re using like FTP server.
So yeah, I highly recommend this one, Bucket Explorer to use with Amazon S3. The next thing I want to show you is…as I’ve showed you previously TubeMogul it’s a free service that allows you to distribute videos all across the Internet, to multiple websites and multiple video services. I currently use Traffic Geyser to also distribute not just only videos but also my podcasts, social bookmarks and also articles throughout the website, throughout the web. This is really a good piece of tool if you can afford to use it. It is $97 per month but it’s really, really powerful once you see how it’s used. So basically just follow the link that I’ve provided below here and you should be able to have access to the Traffic Geyser if you want to use it.
But I’ll just want to show you a quick demo if you just jump into my Traffic Geyser account of what potentially websites you can distribute at to. It goes out to hundreds and hundreds of websites. So let’s have a look here. For example, these are all the video websites that you can see that it goes out to. So there are 20 video websites that Traffic Geyser automatically distributes to once you distribute it once or upload it once to Traffic Geyser. Not only that, you also get podcast sites which there are seven of them, it will also send it out to blog sites for you, social bookmarking sites for you, also article sites for you and yeah, pretty much everything that you see there. It’s very, very powerful once you set all these up. It allows you to do quite a lot of things.
But the most important part as I mentioned previously in the first video if you saw that, is that it allows you to get lots and lots of backlinks and it allows you to move up to search engines very, very quickly as well. That’s how I successfully…everytime I create my videos, I automatically have it submitted by my virtual assistants to Traffic Geyser and send out to all those different websites out there allowing me to create lots of backlinks. At the moment, I’ve got probably tens and thousands of backlinks coming back to Tyroneshum.com which allows me to rank really well in certain areas of my videos.
So that’s the last thing that I recommend if you’re looking to spend a little bit money to host and get some affordable hosting services out here. These things are very, very powerful and these are the tools that I currently use to host all my videos on my website or on my blog and also to distribute it across the Internet. All right, that’s it for this video today, if you have any further questions, any comments or like to share this on FaceBook and to Tweet it, feel free to do so.

[..YouTube..] @505films Great question. I currently use Libsyn to store all my videos. It’s a monthly fee and allows for unlimited downloads. I used to use Amazon S3, but got burnt because I had too many downloads. Thanks.
Thanks, you can check out the virtual assistant program when you sign up to my FREE newsletter here at: http://www.massoutsource.com/ Inside you will receive links to access the program.
So I notice, Tyrone, that the video in this blog post is on YouTube. At the end of the video a bunch of other videos stream across the bottom, potentially steering viewers away from your blog and video.
Is that why you use the Amazon S3?
Your Opt-In blog was not done on YouTube. Was it done on Amazon S3. It doesn’t have the streaming videos at the end.
Just trying to figure out how this works. I want to develop a capture page video and some tutorials, and definitely don’t want all that streaming video stuff at the end.
Thanks for all the great info you share out here, Tyrone!
Yes that’s true – Youtube has these extra videos at the end, which we can’t avoid as it’s all built into it when you watch it on Youtube. This is why I use Amazon S3 for all my private videos. (which is what you see on the opt-in box). I’d highly recommend if you can get a web developer to setup a video to stream from Amazon S3 for your opt-in box it would look a lot more professional and won’t deter people away from your blog.
Tyrone great post! I would HIGHLY recommend using Transmit 4 for Mac and you can use Amazon S3 in your FTP program and it makes it SO SIMPLE!!! In addition, it is the best FTP program I have used on my Mac in years! Love Traffic Geyser too!!!
Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely check out Transmit 4. I’ve heard about it before and I know it’s a good software for Mac. Also for Traffic Geyser it’s a great tool and has helped my blog and business tremendously.
What lav mic do you use with your voice recorder? By the way did you know that you can buy a simple little adapter for your iPhone and make it your voice recorder with your lav mic??? Check it out, I just bought one and I will send you a link to video review when it is delivered, GAME CHANGER and for $20 PLEASE, http://bit.ly/iphoneadapter.
It’s a wired mic that we can buy in any electronic stores in Australia. It’s what they call a Condensor Microphone Lapel mic. It basically has an extra battery to power the mic to allow it to record clear sound. It only costed me $30 to buy here and it does fit directly into the iPhone.
Thanks for the link and I checked it out. It’s good for extending the mic
Thanks for the great videos Tyrone…very helpful. I definitely can see how amazon s3 can be very useful for me since I plan on creating many more videos in the near future.
Traffic Geyser is a bit out of my budget at the moment, but I hope to be able to use it very soon!

[..YouTube..] T-I didn’t hear you speak about where we could upload video for membership sites…what would you recommend?
[..YouTube..] Great video Tyrone – thanks for sharing!

Hi Michelle,
You are welcome. Amazon S3 is a great service and it’s been used all over my blog and my membership sites. Very reliable and easy to use.
As for Traffic Geyser it is something that can be used, but not necessary. Just helps take your backlinks and SEO to the next level.
Thanks for your comment.
