Embedding a Video
Here’s a short video explaining how to embed a YouTube video onto your Blog or website.
I sent a Twitter message out to promote the Profit Pulling Project Newsletter competition and it appears that a fair few people do not know how to embed a video. I guess they haven’t been on the recent Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course 
Anyway, here is how to do it so hopefully you’ve got no excuses for not entering the FREE competition now. As always though, if you want help with something just let me know and I’ll put a post up about it. Best dropping a comment on my blog though, as with well over 6,000 followers on Twitter keeping track of DM messages can be difficult at times !!
To enter the competition please visit this page HERE. Very easy to do, costs nothing and you can win prizes valued at over $1,000.

Nice, simple video. Nice to hear something other than an American accent for a change.
Christ Parkesy!
With that dramatic intro music I was half expecting John Wayne to appear on a “hoss.”
Seriously (something I am struggling with this morning), good video. Incidentally, that “hoss” comment was in response to Shirley’s comment above.
Um, one other thing, sometimes - IF you are not the owner of the video - the embed code can get deleted for TOS violations or it can be changed. I went back to review one of my music videos and that had been deleted and - egad - another one was displaying some porn stuff (I had to watch it just to make sure I didn’t like it BTW). So we need to be careful when embedding third party vids.
If you have produced the video and/or own it then there should be no probs.
Nice instructions Garry. Piece of cake.
Now - QUESTION - you have got something cooking with your Twitter followers - I just KNOW it! Every time I come here there’s an extra 1,000 than the time before. You better tell me what you are doing, my friend. The Gazz-Man doesn’t hold out on you (much). So… TELL ME! I wanna know!
Gazz-Man
PS: Don’t make me put that Commander uniform back on (with Clasp and Oak Leaves) - oh deary me, go and have a look at what I slapped on the post before this.
OK Parkesy!
Now I KNOW 100% that you have DEFO got something cooking over at TWITTER! I can tell coz I just looked at your stats. Email me and I’ll tell you what I reckon you are doing, Mr Clever Dick! But I wanna know HOW you are doing it.

Hey guys, it’s been a couple of days. I too am curious as to the massive Twitter following but with that many people following you Garry, all of their posts flow pretty fast off of your page I’m sure.
I love the embed Youtube video as I’ve seen the question asked many times as well. There are also some cool tricks to get high quality to show up on your site as well by adding some code to the embedded code that they give you.
Of course Youtube wants to have the lowest quality streaming from their site but if you know the tricks, you can get it pretty crisp.
I learned it from Steven DeGracia’s site. He’s another AJ student with Camtasia and Youtube skills.
@ Gazz-Man Ever since you were prodding me about a banner for my graphics, I thought since I didn’t have a specific graphics business for the banner to be linked to, I might as well start one.
Over on my site I’ve got a banner which links to a soon to be launced ecover design site that I just put up today.
I’ll be getting you a smaller version for your site as I’ll be taking you up on your offer. LOL
I really didn’t think about making money from this, I just thought I could help out some folks. Thanks for the kick in the pants guys, I think this could go somewhere and if it does, you will all profit from it as well.
Again, good job Garry with the video.
Michael J Ottman
Micheal,
You and I seem to have been all over the shop today. Your banner is already up at the TEMPLE.
Now this twitter thing with Parkesy is just getting more and more mysterious. I just had another look and the figures have changed from when I looked before. The “Updates” were definitely over 2,000 when I last looked and I distinctly noticed that coz it was way too high from what it had been previously.
I just looked then - out of even more curiousity - and it was back to where it should be - 1,090. Hmm. Strange.
I’ll get to the bottom of this enigma Parkesy. The Gazz-Man will sniff it out. Just don’t eat any baked beans while I’m looking around. PMSL.

@Shirley,
Thanks for popping by and glad you liked the video.
I see from your Twitter profile that you have added to my TwitterRemote Widget that you are not to far away from my part of the world. I am in Yorkshire
@Gazza,
G’day. I wasn’t aware of YouTube re-using Embed codes for other videos. I think that is potentially very dangerous. I’ll have to be careful when I embed your Motivational Moment videos then
Regarding Twitter, I’m not ‘cooking’ anything just using it very actively to generate followers. No secret.
@Michael,
You are right if you have a lot of Twitter followers in that the messages just fly off the page too quickly to read using the standard Twitter webpage. However, I use TweetDeck which is far friendlier and allows you to set groups which alert you when certain users send messages. There are some problems with using TweetDeck but overall I couldn’t manage Twitter without it.
I’m also designing and having a friend code my own Twitter software which will allow me to do some very, very clever things. But more of that later as it will take a while to get it all working
Thanks for mentioning Steven’s site. I will check it out. You are correct the Camtasia video when loaded to a standard webpage is very high quality but when you load it to YouTube it loses a bit of definition. I’d like to know how to keep that high definition in YouTube so will have a read of Steven’s site before I do the next video.
Michael I will also definitely put the banner up on my site when you launch this new e-cover site. I’m hoping to get a facelift of my blog very soon so I will try and coordinate the two things together.
@Gazza,
Back again, lol.
Now I was about to say you must be mistaken about my Twitter updates as the accurate figure is just a little over 1,000 rather than anywhere near 2,000. I checked it this morning before I went to football with my son and it was about 1,100 but now when I look the figure is over 2,300 but I’ve done only a handful of Twitter messages today. Twitter is throwing a wobbly and the stats are way out. In fact, I guess we will see it go down to the ‘true’ figure soon when it sorts itself out.
Hello Gary, the Free My Tweetelite version post is up with a explanation of just how it works.
We are in the process of beta testing the pro version in the marketing niche.

We need to know the size of your list so we can get this ready - Vince
Right then, what’s all this about a revamped blog? Hmm? What excitements have you got brewing?
I don’t know, first of all you change your gravatar thingy, then you’re changing your blog - did you ask my permission to do any of this?!
Nikki
PS - there are also going to be a few changes over at the Lair…don’t worry though, the Purple Room will still be there!
Sorry Miss, just fancied a change.
Pleeeze can I do it???
Well, seeimg as you asked so nicely…I’ll let you off this time. You may go ahead and change your blog, gravatar thingy and anything else as much as you like…
…see, I can be nice sometimes!!
Parkesy,
It’s ABOUT TIME you updated your blog. I mean - let’s face it - compared to the TEMPLE this old thing looks pretty bloody drab. Lift your game son!
Gazz-Man
TEMPLE
Still waiting…
… - er, go and have a look over at the TEMPLE for what I said about your blog Parkesy - under my Psycho Cybernetics thread.
How long is this gonna take?
Gazz-Man
Patience, patience my friend.
All goods things are worth waiting for
Been across to your site and seen the comments about egging me on. I’ll get it done don’t worry.
The new Blog Theme will be up later today, or tomorrow at the latest.
It will probably be a phased approach as it will take me a while to refine some of the bits.
But, it will be worth the wait.
The Purple Minxy Witch only ever likes to be kept waiting if the end result is worth it…so I hope you’re packing something pretty impressive!!
(actually crying with laughter at that bit, think I’ve got Friday Fever).
Hey Garry
Just read the latest issue of your much highly acclaimed PPP. Again, great content as usual.
I thought I drop by to see how the party was going with your new blog - hmm…. where is the new blog and where is everybody?
Anyway, I noticed that in your latest comment about phased approach - nice idea - certainly keeps everyone continously visitng your blog and checking to see anything has happened, plus it’s great for increasing your traffic stats.lol
I look forward to seeing the new look after the makeover has been fully completed.
Best Regards
Nigel
Hey Garry!
Fellow AJ student here and I just wanted to check in with you. Seems your site is doing well and getting a lot of traffic! Would you mind adding a comment on my blog if you can find the time. I’m struggling to generate quality traffic to my page. I’m getting about 100 hits a day but no one is leaving comments or adding any value to my site! HELP!
Thanks Garry! And stay in touch!
Matt
Hey!
New blog theme is looking pretty damn impressive!!
Will check back later to see what else has been going on…
Nikki
Hi Garry,
Very impressed with the new blog theme…and your Twitter followers.
What’s your secret?
I’ve been having problems with ‘Twitter Karma’. Can anyone recommend a good bulk follow/unfollow replacement?
I also wanted to contact you about an impressive list building opportunity I have discovered - build your list as quick as Twitter. I’m not kidding.
I’ve sent your a DM tweet and will send you an e-mail to. It’s that important. Are you on Skype?
Congratulations on your massive achievement so far. Just goes to show what is possible with a little focus and concerted effort!
To your continued growth and financial freedom.
Dave
Well, well, well… Parkesy!
Very impressive - not as impressive as the TEMPLE mind you but indeed very impressive.
Putting on my “British” accent… “Er, about time too old chap! That bloody old draft horse you were riding around on was just about dead. Terrible stuff that!”
Seriously, congratulations - I like the nice blue header too!
Now to hijack your nice new theme for my own devious purposes… TEMPLE news!
I am in the process of uploading Motivational Moment Video #3 ATM. But Google is slow with the embedding code and bloody Viddler - DON’T ask! Jeez! I have had about as good a run with Viddler lately as I have with bloody Paypal.
Anyway, I should have the new video up tomorrow some time - just waiting, waiting, waiting. It’s actually in 3 parts - the motivational bit, a mutual friend (a female) who I get to roast and well, a few little surprises at the end for everybody.
Good work Parkesy. Close, but no cigar for you. PMSL!
Gary (TGM) Simpson

Hey Garry,
I really like the looks of your new theme. Much better that the last one. I’ve been thinking of changing mine because I’m getting tired of it but can’t seem to find the time.
Now, all this talk about you and Twitter. At the top of this page it says you have 11k followers. What are you doing, holding a gun to their heads to make them follow you. Tell me your secret.
Later,
Jeff Sargent
Many thanks for the video because I am really having problems with this subject. I can’t remember anything about embedding video on Alex’s coaching course. Did I miss a whole module or something? Its not impossible ive got my head into so many different ideas at the moment.
I too have ordered BFM but you cant keep on buying into the next new thing on the block can you?
Andy Beveridge
Hi Garry,
I just scanned the other comments quickly so I may repeat what has been said.
Your video is great. You are giving very good instructions that are easy to follow without any superfluous fluff and without leaving anything out.
It is a pleasure to be learning from you.
Vance.
