If you're like me, then you are an intelligent human being with above average hygiene. You are also someone who likes things that make your life easier. In the world of web video there is a tool that can do just that - Tubemogul.

Tubemogul will distribute your videos to all of the web's greatest hosting sites, let you track views and other important stats, and link your vids to the top social networking sites ... oh, and that's just the free version. As a video production company with a focus on the web, using this site has become an almost daily ritual.

I started to write in explicit detail the steps to signing up, uploading your content, and tracking videos, until I realized that they have a bunch of how-to videos that'll explain better than I can. The first ones can be found at http://www.tubemogul.com/about/getting_started (and I've embedded one here as well).


If you are planning on using video on the web for anything more than making strangers gasp, Tubemogul is quite the useful partner in crime. Essentially, after some initial set-up (both on Tubemogul and on the individual sites you want to post on), you have one place where you can upload your files to multiple sites and track whether they are reaching your desired goals as well.

Beyond the basics, you can also do things like:

• Track other video publishers, like say, your competitors - might want to know what they're up to.
• Add Tubemogul's "inPlay" in-depth stats to your own player (Premium)
• Target your videos to specific audiences (Premium)

Overall, this is a site that we recommend to our clients to get to know if they are placing their videos online and it's one that once you start using it, you'll enjoy your web video life a whole lot more.
