A 5 Step Process For Posting Videos To Social Media And Other Marketing Platforms

Step 1: Post to Youtube.


With 2 billion logged-in monthly users, 74% of adults active on YouTube, 80% of parents reporting their kids’ as active on YouTube, an average of 41.9 minutes per day per viewer, and average daily single user page views of 8.89, you probably want to make YouTube your first post immediately after recording that exciting new video.


YouTube also allows you to embed videos directly into your website. Embedding videos is a huge advantage for several reasons. 1st, the video is stored on YouTube’s servers, so it plays faster, and you don’t have to worry about load speeds. 2nd, you get some SEO juice from both your page and your YouTube channel!

Or schedule a support call with us, and we can help you figure it out.



Step 3: Email your prospects, customers, friends, subscribers, or whoever you think would be interested.


Now that your video is on your website, it is time to email that link to prospects, customers, friends, and subscribers. Your audience is ready as long as you think they are interested in the video and you have their email address. Remember, you want to send them to your website, not YouTube.


When you send your audience to YouTube, YouTube's objective is to get them to click and watch more videos. That click maybe your next video but that click may also be something else. If you send the person to your website, you control their options and next steps. Bonus to sending your audience to your website site... you can retarget with ads.

Step 4: Social Posts

Your audience will get to watch the video right there on their preferred social platform without having to click away.
