Small business owners – I’m sure you have heard about YouTube. Just in case you haven’t, let’s just say YouTube is THE site for any kind of videos you can think of. Now here’s the big question for you: Do you know what YouTube can do for you and your small business?
Before you answer that question, let me tell you this: Many – if not most – small business owners under-utilize YouTube for the benefit of their business. Even those who have been using YouTube for marketing and promotion purposes done it wrongly – well, at least ineffectively.
The above means that starting to learn using YouTube for business purpose today will get you and your business ahead of the competition. So, the best time to learn is NOW.
There are many guides on using YouTube for small business (you may find some resources I recommend you to read at the end of this article.) However, not all of them are helpful, in a sense that they don’t guide you by hand through the darkest road to YouTube success.
But fear not, I have been recommended a guide – a very, very useful one – that has benefited me in a great way. I’m sure you’ll find this guide valuable, too.
The small business guide to YouTube is published by Simply Business, one of UK’s most popular websites for comparing business insurances. Of course, the guide is not related to insurances, at all; it’s strictly YouTube.
Before you start using the guide, please note that it’s an interactive guide. Meaning, clicking on something will give you more information.
Here’s how to use the guide: You will see a series of questions with regard to using YouTube for small business. When you click “No” you will be brought to resources you should read to learn more about a particular question. That’s all. Here’s the interactive guide:
