How do I post a video on Youtube?

It's easy! And it can be done in a few minutes. Videos can be uploaded in a number of ways, but most basically:
1.  Upload your video to your computer.
2.  Create or sign into a youtube account (if you have any kind of google account, it can be linked to your new youtube account very easily). To create an account click the blue "sign in" button on the upper right hand corner of the youtube main page. Then click on the orange "create an account" button.
3. Once you are signed in, click "upload" at the top of any youtube page. Select your file, and youtube will take you to a very important page. Here you create your title, description, tags, screenshot, category, etc. Choosing the right words for each of these is very important, but you don't have to get it right the 1st time. You can go back into your video and edit them at any time. Click on the monetization tab while your video uploads, and make sure that you enable monetization. This will allow google to place ads on your video, which will be your source of income. More to follow on the types of monetization, but for now click both overlay in-video ads and truview in-stream ads.
4. Once you have entered your information, go to your video manager. This can be accessed by clicking on your profile name in the upper right hand corner and clicking "video manager". From your video manager you can access every video you have uploaded and see viewing statistics for them.
