Everybody knows YouTube right? Did you know you can upload your own videos to YouTube for free and anyone in the world can view them? You need to meet some basic requirements - basically your video needs to be less than 10 minutes long and less than 2Gb.
Well that's logical for us. If I'm looking for a holiday cottage or villa, I don't want to spend 10 minutes looking at every last nook and cranny. It's a flavour - if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth even more.
The really great thing about YouTube is that you can take the video and embed it into your site. The visitor never leaves your site, which means they might just click on the book now button!
Have a look here for an example of how you can embed a video - www.westwight.net/video
Be careful though. I picked a video at random on YouTube but I saw some terrible examples. I saw a villa in Portugal with the wind whistling across the pool, making it look like the North Sea. I also saw a video, apparently to promote a villa, and there was an ironing board complete with pile of washing in the sitting room! Not much of a lifestyle statement is it?
It's all possible!
