YouTube By Ramiz Muallem


You Tube is a highly effective business tool. One can use it to show off expertise, share knowledge, market products or services and connect with customers, colleagues and prospects. You Tube can also bee seen as an internet site that help people track current events, upload, tag and share videos about their hobbies and interests to those who matter and who don’t to them worldwide!

Users around the world can upload and download videos and clips via the YouTube website, compatible external applications (such as for smart phones), or by Short Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries. While the service is free, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
YouTube is a place where you can become famous. It is a place for promos and is just as safe as Facebook and Myspace; with proper percussions of course. You may upload TV Promos but YouTube would be unlikely to appreciate uploading the whole TV show.
Why do we like YouTube? (by Mechel grady, 2009) “If you didn't know, YouTube is Free. Now that's the type of marketing I like to do, Free. Doesn't cost a nickel. Doesn't cost a dime. I'll say it again because it's my favorite form of advertising, Free.” In addition, you tube benefits includes its Global audience, It is viewed by people all over the world. Another benefit is that as the video on YouTube highlights the URL of your main website; many viewers are often prompted to visit the site to know more about the services or products that are on offer. So, the hits on your site increases by leaps and bounds with YouTube marketing which enhances your search engine rankings. YouTube does not force you to display any personal information. You can post it if you would like, but can have it so that everything about you is unknown to those who watch your videos and go to your channel.
YouTube accounts are also easy to create and it could be done by simply going to YouTube, Clicking on the "Create Account" button in the upper-right corner of the home page, filling out the personal information, and continue, login or create a Google Account, decorate the YouTube page, upload the video file clicking and open.

Why YouTube?
Because first of all, it is the most watched website for videos, and has the biggest market share.Secondly, it is capable of being integrated with social networking websites which makes your video marketing efforts so much easier. YouTube has a community and population on its own but they are further extended by branching out to Facebook, Twitter, and others. Third, it is continuing its efforts to get integrated with the iPad and the Android phones. Finally, it has plenty of web tools to help measure your video marketing strategy. Once you sign up, you will be given a channel or a profile that serves as another website for you. You can look at which videos are successful or not depending on the user traffic. You do not need to spend on web development expenses, nor do you have to pay for web hosting.
As a conclusion, YouTube is one of the top 5 websites around the world, used for several uses in several ways for all people corporations and businesses. It is an imaginative broadcasting area for viewers to be impressed by others' imagination, not imitation.
