Adding videos within AWeber is an excellent method for connecting with your subscribers and adding a customized element to your email marketing. In this article, I will lead you through the step-by-step procedure for embedding videos in AWeber, and also provide some of my personal advice and techniques.
Step 1: Choose a Video Hosting Platform
Before you can embed a video in AWeber, you need to host the video on a compatible video hosting platform. Some popular options include YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia. Choose a platform that suits your needs and upload your video.
Step 2: Obtain the Embed Code
Once your video is uploaded, you will need to obtain the embed code. This code allows you to insert the video into your AWeber email. Each video hosting platform has a slightly different way to access the embed code, but it is usually found in the “Share” or “Embed” section of the video’s settings.
After you have located the embed code, copy it to your clipboard. Remember that the embed code will be in HTML format, so make sure to keep it as plain text and not modify it in any way.
Step 3: Create a New Email Campaign in AWeber
Now that you have the embed code, it’s time to create a new email campaign in AWeber. Go to your AWeber account and navigate to the “Messages” tab. Click on “Create a Message” and choose the type of email you want to send.
In the email editor, position your cursor where you want to insert the video. Click on the “Source Code” button () in the toolbar to switch to the HTML editor mode.
Paste the embed code that you copied in Step 2 into the HTML editor. You should see the video player appear in the editor. Save your changes and exit the HTML editor.
Step 4: Test and Send Your Email
Before sending your email, it’s important to test it to ensure that the embedded video is working correctly. AWeber provides a preview feature that allows you to see how your email will look in different email clients and devices. Take advantage of this feature to make any necessary adjustments.
Once you are satisfied with the preview, you can send your email campaign to your subscribers. Be sure to include a compelling subject line and a clear call to action. Personalize your message to make your audience feel more connected to you.
Conclusion
Embedding videos in AWeber can be an effective way to communicate with your subscribers and add a personal touch to your email campaigns. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily embed videos in your AWeber emails and enhance your email marketing efforts.
