Exactly How To Use Amazon S3 To Host Your Videos & Membership Site Content

Warning – Almost Every “Free” Amazon S3 Tutorial Out There is VERY Wrong!

My name is Wilson Mattos and I’ve worked in the Information Technology industry for 19 years. Yes, I did stuff on the net before web browsers existed. I’m a specialist when it comes to security.

And I have to tell you one thing – the way almost everyone is teaching you how to host files on Amazon S3 is dead wrong. It exposes you to thieves in the night. I’ll show you how to remedy that shortly. First…

Why Amazon S3 Is Great If Used Correctly…

Amazon S3 stands for simple storage service. It’s scalable, reliable and fast. Plus it can be inexpensive. You pay nothing to sign up, you enter into no contracts, and you only pay for what you use…oh…and there is no “limit” that you can excced.

Sounds great right? Yes and no. It’s great because it can be cheap. Check out the US rates below…

Those rates are excellent.

But the problems…

There are several problems with using Amazon S3 though. Here are just some of them…

  1. It’s not easy to upload and manage files on Amazon S3
  2. It’s hard to share your files with only those who you give permission to
  3. The interface is not intuitive and intimidating to a first time user
  4. It’s easy for thieves to infiltrate your storage and make out with your content free of charge if you follow what most people out there are teaching

Of all these problems, the worst is this: people tell you that when you share your amazon files you should set your permissions so that everyone can read your file. If you do that though, it doesn’t stop someone from passing your paid content around the internet.

Or worse – if you leave your folders open (they’re called buckets in S3)… then they can find every file you have in that bucket. And sometimes even EVERYTHING you have on Amazon S3.

Yikes!

The solution? I have recorded a complete training on Amazon s3 that walks you through everything step by step. We start with how to sign up with Amazon S3. I give you three FREE resources you can use to make managing and uploading files a snap.

Most importantly – I show you how to protect your files. No one is teaching this properly that I know of. That’s why I’ve taken it upon myself to create this training to show you.

 What You’re Getting

You’ll get a video webinar recording file that is close to 90 minutes in length. in the video you will see live demonstrations and also get to hear me answer common questions that were put forward by every day users.

In addition to the recording of the video, you’ll also get a PDF file containing all the presentation slides used in the video…

Plus, you will also get 4 pages of additional notes from the webinar with additional explanations and links to resources.
