Urig, You'll find a lot of great answers to these kind of questions at http://freevlog.org There is no one 'best way'. It depends on the type of video. A blog is just a way of presenting a video. You could upload it to any one of a number of video sharing sites, including Blip.tv or Vimeo, for free. I don't know what Vimeo's file size and length limit is - I think Blip will take any reasonable length of video. YouTube will only accept 10 minute videos. You might as well use a sharing site, instead of hosting it on your own server and potentially paying for bandwidth if it gets popular. Also, you get passerby traffic on a video sharing site, which you wouldn't get on your own server. Then copy it onto a blog. But just doing all that is still not going to get you viewers. It's not a way to market it. People don't come and watch every video that's uploaded. The only way to market a video is to find ways to get people to watch it. And that's not a question anybody could answer here - you could write a book about it. And ultimately, it depends on what your video is about. There's billions of other videos out there - you have to ask yourself what's special about yours, what kind of people will like it, and how you are going to bring it to those people's attention, and get them to tell other people.
