Do you want to earn some extra cash while showcasing your handmade work? Do you want to beat your competition? Creating a YouTube channel might be a good strategy for you!
So why you should consider making a YouTube channel?
One of the main reason why you should consider it is because, only 9% of small businesses in the U.S. are actively using YouTube, and my hunch is that figure would be pretty accurate worldwide, too.
In addition, it has over a billion users which is almost one-third of all people on the Internet. Another important thing to take note is, everyday people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views. On mobile alone, YouTube reaches more 18-34 and 18-49 year-olds than any cable network in the U.S.
Imagine this number of people watching your DIY crafts, tutorials, reviews, etc.
So why aren’t businesses investing in YouTube as part of our social media strategy?
In short, because video is harder to produce than a blog post or an image. Or at least that’s the perception many of us have.
In reality, though, video is becoming much easier and cheaper to create. Here are some guides where you can get started with making videos:
