8 THINGS YOU CAN DO ON YOUTUBE.

1. FIND TUTORIALS

“How to” videos about so many topics and interest are uploaded daily on YouTube. You can find videos from how to train a dog to how to set up a website. These videos make learning easy and enjoyable.

2. MAKE MONEY

Yes you can also make money from YouTube. There are a few people making 4-6 figure sums by just posting videos on YouTube. If you want to make money using this model you need create a channel on YouTube where you will be posting great videos made by you.

If your videos get viewed by lots of people you can then apply for the partnership program with YouTube.

3. BUILD TRAFFIC

YouTube is one of the most visited websites on the internet. Having you website or blog showcased along side any video can build traffic to your blog or website.

When you upload a video, you are allowed to have links posted along with the description of the video.

If you video is good or goes viral a lot of viewers will click on the link to see what you blog or website is about, this brings in traffic to website or blog.

4. SAVE HOSTING SPACE

Having you videos on YouTube can also help save your hosting space. If you want to post a video on your blog or website, you can first post it on YouTube, before you can copy and paste the embed code.

Video files are usually big so posting your videos on YouTube before embedding them on your blog or website will surely save you space.

5. FIND REAR MUSIC VIDEOS

YouTube is so good you can find very rear musical videos about legendary artist and musicians.

A good example is Fela Kuti, a search in YouTube will reveal some very rear videos about the legend.

You can use YouTube to find other rear videos of your favourite musicians or personalities.

6. LEARN AND STUDY

You can find lectures and other academic resources on YouTube too that will help in understanding a topic or in preparation for exams.

I have a friend who studies medicine in school. He was looking resource about a topic on Google, I asked him to try searching for it on YouTube.

He was a bit skeptical but eventually decided to do the search.

What he saw shocked him, he never thought he could find that amount of academic resource about medicine on YouTube.

They videos made learning that topic even more effective than any form of write-up he would have read.

Same can apply to your own field of study or anything you want to learn about.

Just search for it on YouTube, what you will find will shock you.

7. MAKE FRIENDS AND MEET PEOPLE

Just like many other social networks, you can meet people and make friends on YouTube.

It is designed to receive mails and associate with others on the network.

8. BRAND YOURSELF

Yes you can also use YouTube to brand yourself, your company or increase your brand recognition online. Since YouTube is basically about videos, if you post great videos about topics you are grounded in, you can become very popular.

If you have a website or a brand already, having great helpful videos can help even grow your brand further.
