Is YouTube Social Media? Why the Answer Matters for Your Marketing Strategy
When people talk about social media, YouTube often gets left out of the conversation—despite being the second most visited website in the world. As a Fractional CMO and someone who’s helped brands build deeper relationships through digital content, I believe the real question isn’t whether YouTube is social media, but how we’re leveraging it as one of the many social media sites available for marketing.

A Special Kind of Clean Up
A client recently contacted me about doing more social media posting. First step was to see which platforms she had set up and what had been done so far.
Come to find out, there were:
2 Gmail accounts
1 with a business page
1 with a YouTube channel
1 Yahoo
2 Instagram accounts
3 YouTube channels
No clue what emails 2 of them went to
1 Twitter account she didn’t need
2 Facebook business page
1 MailChimp account
Before we could get to work, the client had to reset all of the passwords because she didn’t have a good list of Usernames and Passwords. THIS INFO IS CRITICAL TO YOUR BUSINESS! Use LastPass or another password keeper to record all usernames, passwords, PIN#, security questions. (Another client couldn’t access one of her accounts because she couldn’t remember if the answer to the security question was farmer, Farmer or cotton farmer. Capitalization counts in passwords and security answers!!)
We went to each account and reviewed the info. Every profile had different information! There was no consistency in the services she said she was offering, the descriptions of the services or even the way she had input the company name! This is very detrimental to your marketing efforts. Branding 101 requires that you use the same company name every time, every where. Then to increase your Search Engine Optimization you need to use the same keywords to list your services and to describe them.
Keywords
Keep a list of your keywords by your computer. Everything you write for your website, your social media, your eNewsletters, etc. should use these words. Why? Keywords are what your clients use to search for your services on Google, on Facebook, on Instagram. If you are sloppy with your keywords, they can’t find you.
Before you get too self-righteous about the mess this poor client was in, I challenge you to go look at your site and profiles right now! You may find the same confusion!

Making a Video
There’s more to making a video than finding the record button! No, you don’t need to be a professional actress. You do have to do a professional job getting your point across. Here’s an excellent article to give you help.
