How To Add Elegant Music Player To Blogger In 3 Minutes [VIDEO]

Couple of years ago, I posted Add Music To Blogger Blog (blogspot) that was a very simple way to add music to blogger blogs. With a simple embed tags, you could have added a link to the audio file that you want it to get played.

Though, as with the time, we have many more interesting options and very simple to implement music player widgets that you can add to blogger blogs with few clicks.

As shown in the video tutorials below, you can see how we can utilize cincopa. There are tons and tons of templates for music players available that you can choose from.

All of this is totally free.

What you can do with this Music player widget for Blogger (Blogspot)?

1- Simply upload your own music files
2- Upload multiple music files to make a playlists (optional)
3- Simple code to install it to your blogger blogs.

Step #1 Go to Cincopa Music Player Widget Gallery

It would ask you to signup. It's a one time process. Simply do that to get access to the next step. There are many other options out there to add music to blogger blogspot blogs, though this one is pretty powerful. As it allows you to upload your music files to its server and makes a playlist for this if you want.

You don't first have to host your music to some other place and then add link to the music player, like in our last example.

Step #2 Choose your theme

There are many music player widget themes to choose from. Once you've selected your desired template, simple hit 'Use This Skin' and then hit >> 'Use These Settings'

Step #3 Now it would ask you to make an account.

Hit Signup via Facebook or another social profiles that you want to speed up the process.

Once that's done,

Step #4 Upload Media and Switch Toggles

This is the step we were waiting for. You can now upload your desired audio play back that you want to be played once your blog loads. Once that's done, hit 'Galleries' >> Settings >> And switch the toggles such as 'Auto Play' etc.

(This is all demonstrated in the video tutorial)

Step #5 Implement the Code

Once every thing is finalized, you're just left with installing the code. Follow the Video tutorial for that. You just have to add an HTML/JavaScript gadget in the sidebar or where ever you want the music player widget to appear on your blogspot blog.

Hope this was helpful. Watch the video tutorial attached to get the entire screen cast and step by step instruction to do it in under 3 minutes.

How I Multiplied 250$ Into 11,000$ In 1.5 Years!

Note: This is the post that I shared a while back, though I believe it's quite motivating for our brothers and sisters that they should take their blogs seriously. Never hesitate to invest in it as investment done right can yield great results.

Blogging can be extremely lucrative when done consistently while providing quality to the readers and meeting the demand of your target audience.

This is a short motivational video for all of my fellows out there who are into blogging or are willing to and making up their minds to start up.

I started actively investing back into BloggingeHow roughly year and a half ago when I first signed up for AWeber and you should too.Read this post: 6 Reasons to Get Started With Aweber - You'd Be Foolish Otherwise.

AWeber, is the leading email marketing tool out there which helps you create your email list. With such great tools available, we just need to make our minds and gather our motivation to get started.

Though, not doubt it was a tough decision for me to start paying 19$ to AWeber every single month, and I had to shutdown my account once as I wasn't able to pay the recurring payments xD.

Though later, I came back with a bang and never looked back Alhumdulilah.

Email marketing is crucial when it comes to strengthen your roots online. With a strong email list with targeted audience, you rarely feel threatened by Google algorithm updates that could knock you down the furthest end of Google pagination.

2 Key Investments - Still Proud

Right from the start, I took BloggingeHow as a brand and a business in it's own sense. This helped me gather my energy and resources to invest back into it for long term gains. I had about 250$ (25000 Rs/- ) which I saved for 4-5 years span.

Spending it on a blog, with no returns promised wasn't an easy job I would say. Though, I strongly believe that hardwork and prayers pay off.

This is a little post for my fellow bloggers out there who remain hesitant on investing into their blogs, may that be in the form of a premium paid domain name, a hosting plan, an email marketing tool, a CDN (Content delivery network) service etc.

It can be anything that could help you make your blog a better place.

My 2 most valuable investments on BloggingeHow were to get help of my co-authors to create high quality content for the blog, as time is money. The more frequently could one publish content that their audience would be looking for, the faster you could expect to reach your goals.

Secondly it was signing up with AWeber as I mentioned before.

I hope that encourages my brothers and sisters out there to look forward to their blogs as an online business no matter what niche you're in. It's all about the mentality.

Stay blessed and remain thirsty to achieve your dreams.

Well well well! I was off to gym and got a call from home that we had something awesome waiting for me that came by via mail. I was so excited that I cut short my workout session and came back home.

Here we have the first ever BloggingeHow apparel (T-Shirt) which I believe represents the entire journey of mine and resonates the mantra of the people who see success in no matter what they do!

Below is a short video that I shot the moment I stepped into the home. Currently this shirt isn't launched yet and I look forward to launch it in in near future InshaAllah.

Though if you're looking forward to pre-order this, you can drop your email and name on BloggingeHow Apparel page and I'll notify you when this gets live!

This is NOT just a Shirt! It's what we are and sums up my 4 years of blogging.

The Ideology

Once you leave your email for notification on this page, you'll be taken to the 'thank you' page where I go through the design aspect of this shirt and what made me come up with this design.

Since I started my online journey, I had my ups and downs. In my downs, I learned to NEVER GIVE UP, and there always comes a bright fresh shiny day after every night.

And trust me, good days always come! You just have to be strong and stay committed to your dreams. This skin/tshirt represents the true BloggingeHow Ideology.

An Ideology of a winning mind! It's not that you always win, BUT if the mind says you can, YOU WILL!

It's not just about blogging, it's about winning at everything you do in life. If you're a student, you chase your goal is to study in your dream university. If you're a bodybuilder, your goal is to bring forward the best you can in terms of physique. If you're entrepreneur, you look forward to build up your own empire from scratch.

NO MATTER what you do, it's about 'chasing da dreams' every single morning when you wake up.

This shirt will be a source of motivation and a reminder every single moment of your day, that you're working to chase your dreams.

Decide For Your Self

So it's up to you to choose from. Are you a WINNER or a QUITER? Because, winners NEVER quit, and quitters NEVER win!

Stay blessed guys. And make sure you give me your emails and names via this page so that I can let you know when this gets launched InshaAllah!

BloggingeHow wouldn't have been hear because of you guys and I can't say it enough!

Thank you for everything!
