- EZVid has been my go-to online video editor all year. I’ve posted my videos to YouTube and other social media sites and shown the videos to my virtual assistant in order to show her what tasks I needed completing.
- Facebook Live I have never hosted a Facebook Live video but many of my blogging friends have and recommend this technique.
- IGTV I enjoy using Instagram Television. The best part: If you don’t have 10,000 followers yet, you’re allowed a live link in your Instagram Stories to your IGTV videos. To use IGTV, you need the IGTV app.
- Instagram Video You can put videos in your Instagram posts, your Instagram Stories, and on IGTV. To post a video in your Instagram feed, you need a square video. To post on Instagram Stories or IGTV, your video should be vertical. Fortunately, many online video editing tools to give you these options.

I really like it and have added it to promote my articles so far on my Facebook pages.” Here is a Lumen5 video I made to accompany my WordPress Gutenberg Tutorial.

- PosterMyWall One of the many uses for PosterMyWall is to make short videos. Marketing tips recommend using short videos. This makes sense. Consumers of information are busier than ever. It’s faster to see a short video than read a great deal of text. This PosterMyWall video is so short it resembles an ad.
