Build your business with YouTube
Educate your customers
YouTube is a social media platform where companies and individuals post a wide variety of content designed for entertainment. But content that grows a business should be more than entertaining. Businesses have experience and expertise in their fields that can benefit their customers. The creative presentation of this expertise helps businesses communicate directly with their customer base on a different level.
Consistently post more content
You don’t need an advertising agency or a big budget to achieve this goal. Businesses can create high-quality videos using any smartphone available on the market today. Then use a video editing platforms, some of which are free to create professional titles, text, and transitions.
Use calls-to-action to grow your business
YouTube is full of call-to-action methods that businesses can use to drive growth. You can also add calls to action via button links in your videos. Place a subscribe button at the beginning and end of a video to see video suggestions for other content on your channel.
Use a single keyword topic as a growth mechanism
SEO is another stumbling block for many businesses, especially on YouTube. Many channels lack keyword focus in their video titles, and their descriptions and tags look like random collections of buzzwords. To generate traffic and grow your business, build your video SEO around a single keyword or topic you want to promote.
Master the YouTube thumbnail for more clicks
If the image or illustration and font is eye-catching, customers are more likely to pick it up and buy it. Thumbnails are even more impactful because YouTube strategically places them in the right sidebar when viewers are watching other videos. They are also placed prominently next to titles and descriptions on search results pages.
Engage with your audience via comments
YouTube has its roots in social media and allows businesses to communicate with their customers. It’s an opportunity to make a sale, answer a question, or provide superior customer service.
Build your brand with the channel layout
If you want to grow your business and brand through YouTube, you need a professional, engaging and relevant layout. Channel branding helps potential customers identify the content. Your channel graphics should match the look and feel of the branding displayed on your website and/or blog.
Recycle old content to create new content
Established businesses should discard the idea that they can’t come up with content ideas. Not every video idea has to be fresh and created from scratch. Some of the best videos on YouTube come from recycled content. This means you can use things like old webinars, podcasts, blogs, case studies, and even PowerPoint presentations and turn them into content.
Internal and external promotion
The beauty of social media is the cross-platform cross-promotion element. One of the easiest ways to grow your business is to promote your new content on channels like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. Use your other channels to entice upcoming videos and drive them to your YouTube channel.
Put a face to your brand
Many small businesses aim to create a personalized touch for their customers, and YouTube can help create that customization by putting a face to the brand.
Conclusion
Video marketing is growing at an unprecedented rate and gaining recognition as a scientific method of audience engagement. YouTube combines these elements of video with the power of social media and is a forum where businesses can be more personal and useful.
