How to get the best out of YouTube

I love YouTube how it works and how you can use it to your advantage as a company, one of the key way and uses is to express your opinion and start a conversation and there are many ways to express your company opinions within YouTube. I have detailed my top three below;

Leave a Comments on a video
Comments left on a video turn it into a conversation. If you look on the site some of the most watched videos can have literally loads of comments of all types, good and bad.

Al’s top Tip
When leaving a comment you do need to be sensible, YouTube has Community Guidelines which clearly spell out what they will not tolerate.
We encourage free speech and defend everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view. But we don’t permit hate speech which contains slurs or the malicious use of stereotypes intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality.
There is zero tolerance for predatory behaviour, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members’ personal information. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from YouTube.

Rate Comments
This is the bit I like in that you have the power to rate comments that are left by others. And is works simply by that if you find a comment that you like, you can give it a “thumbs up.” Likewise find a comments you don’t like and give it a “thumbs down.” All you need do is click on the relevant thumb to vote then a user can sort comments by these votes.

Subscribe to Channels
Many businesses have their very own YouTube Channel and usually this channel contains all the videos that have been uploaded by the company.

To put it simply if you like the types of videos that another user uploads on their channel, you can subscribe to that business (or persons) channel and when they upload more you will be notified.

So there you go, my top three tips to get the best out of YouTube, to see my other posts on YouTube see below.
