How to upload your audiobook video trailer to Facebook

LinkedIn may appear to be a weird place to post about a Facebook process, but try creating a post in Facebook that allows you to insert images in an appropriate order (can't really be done...).

My friend and author Taryn Claire Le Nu has written of her experiences as a breast cancer 'thriver and survivor' in her book: 'To Cancer with Love'.

When publishing her audiobook (of the same name), we also produced a video trailer to give potential customers an insight into her journey.

With Breast Cancer Awareness Week starting tomorrow, we felt it would be timely to engage again in conversations around a condition affecting almost 20,000 Australian women (and men) each year.

Following is my email correspondence to Taryn, explaining how to get the best presentation for your video uploads when posting on Facebook (rather than a rather 'ugly' video download link ;>)...

Here are the steps (using the Google Chrome browser on a Windows computer)...

1. Begin by clicking the following download link (or copy it to a new browser window):

2. The video should just start playing in a new browser, and you will notice the following displayed at the bottom of the screen:

3. Click the three vertical dots in the right of screen, then click 'Download'

Once the file starts downloading, it will display it's progress in the bottom left of your screen. See below:

6. Click 'Photo/Video', then click the following 'Upload photos/video' link:
