How to add downloadable music and videos to your blog posts

There are many resources online that can be used to achieve that such as YouTube, Sound Cloud, Dropbox, Hulkshare etc. but not all have user friendly interface that will be suitable for blogging and also, some can only be used to embed music while others allows only for video downloading and embedding.

It is in that vein that I will be singling out one of the resources considered most friendly, easy to use and supports both music and videos uploading and downloading…..here we are going to be unmasking Hulkshare as the right resource for achieving this goal.

Hulkshare is one of the major online tools that you can use to upload, share, get links and codes for your songs/videos and for embedding on your blogs/websites. It is free and easy to use, and with it you can even allow your blog visitors to either listen/watch online or download to their devices for later consumption.

The question now is on how to use Hulkshare to upload and embed downloadable songs/videos on your blog?

Without wasting a single time, follow the steps below;

= =>Go straight to Hulkshare and sign up. You can ignore the Facebook connect for sign up option and go straight to fill in your data; this is to enable you choose your own unique username yourself since it cannot be changed after signup. For instance, as a blogger you may want to use your blog title as your username. Also consider uploading a profile picture on the course of the signup.

= =>After signup, you can begin right way to upload your songs/videos from your system or other sources to your Hulkshare account which you want to embed on your blog for your readers to download. To achieve that just click on the upload button at the top of your Hulkshare account page, locate the songs/videos in your system and upload them.

Note : After embedding the codes and when pre-viewing your post before publishing, you might not see the song/video on the preview window until you have published your article.
