A few months back I went off on a tangent one day when I NEEDED TO KNOW How to Add Videos to My HTML e-mails in Aweber. I simply started by adding the HTML code from the video embed code of Youtube to my HTML e-mail in Aweber and tried sending myself the message, and it didn’t work.
Thus began my Search. I searched for over 8 hours and read so many different blogs and articles. I searched the entire back-area of Aweber to find out how to add videos. The fact was that I thought there was a way to make videos play right in the e-mail, and after hours of searching I found out that wasn’t possible at all.
That’s when I discovered the next best thing. Making it appear as though you have a video in your e-mail, and then linking to a video on a different website. Watch my video below to learn exactly how you can do this.
To Your Success,

Thanks for the info. Jordan. I'll pass it along.

Great tips Jordan, I especially like how you use WordPress to host your pictures to be used elsewhere. Talk about jazzing up your emails
You're welcome Sherman… Thanks for passing it along!
Peter,
that was honestly my lazy way of doing it, because I don't know how to use an FTP client or whatever it's called. You know. the thing that uploads stuff to your hosting package for you. Yeah, I have no clue.
THAT was some very cool info Jordan! If I learn nothing else today, I have learned this little Gem. Thanks!
Wow, Jordan.
That is Absolutely Brilliant!
That’s why I liked the tip.
Whenever I start to explain to someone they can use ftp or cPanel to upload some pics I see that glassy eyed look on their face
Cool, Jordan! Thanks for the awesome tip
Jordan,
I do this from time to time… but have been doing it a lot lately with the MLM Launch Formula promotion because of all the videos you can take screen caps of!
Thanks for all the value bro,

I'm glad you liked this Steve, it's such a useful thing for many different applications.
Glad you liked it Tyson
I remember how confused I was the first time I uploaded a picture to my cpanel… I was still confused on how to call it up… With this way, there's no mistakes.
I noticed that in your e-mail today chief…. Love it! Taking it to the extreme…
Jordan, You are something else. It took a few for me to get it bud I did. Cheers to you.
Thanks Jordan, this is very helpful. I tried and tried to figure this same thing out, even contacted Aweber, searched online, etc., then just kind of gave up. Thanks for being kind enough to share this valuable info.

Jordan, great post my friend. This is definitely a great work around to actually having a video in your post. This is good stuff.

This is just the kind of training I need – how to do very basic functions – because I'm new to all of this, even setting up a Blog. What I don't see is how to subscribe to this Blog so that I can get more lessons. Most Blogs I visit make doing so extremely easy, even when their content is nowhere near this informative and useful to the beginner. But perhaps I'm missing something because I'm new. All I see are ways to “Share” via social sites, not how to subscribe to this Blog to get more of these wonderful how-to lessons. Perhaps you could E-mail me and explain how? Thanks!
So here is the thing – you always provide such great value to your blog readers…and once again thank you = great video on how to actually use video in your emails!!
Believe in Yourself,
Ange;-)
Just keep pluggin away Samuel, and you'll get it too my friend.
Anything for You Renee,
I know… I searched aweber for a long time to find that.
Bryan,
It works for now… I look forward to the day when we can actually have videos playing in our e-mails
Sorry I mis-spelled your name Brian
Thanks James,
Done and Done my friend… got your e-mail and sent you the information.
Glad you found value Angela… Thanks for that little boost of confidence.
Hi Jordan,
Great tip, I have tried to do this with no luck at all and now I know why. Thanks for sharing.

I feel you on that one Tristram… I can’t tell you how many times i tried to put video in, and how many different forms of video I uploaded trying to get it to work with HTML or Java…
Time for the headache to stop.
