… and other solo health and wellness practitioners!
Have you considered using video in your practice? Think it might be a great way for your potential (and current!) clients to get to know you? It often is! So in today’s episode, we take a deep dive into YouTube as a platform.
This is the third episode in my social media series and there’s a lot to talk about. Not only can you make use of YouTube as a way to connect with people and get more clients, but you can also potentially make money through YouTube ads and sponsorship deals. It’s an interesting possibility and something a lot of the more entrepreneurial folks out there are trying.
What we covered this week:
- General statistics about YouTube you might want to know
- Controversies around YouTube as a company and platform (did you know YouTube is owned by Google?)
- How to set up your account and what not to forget
- What types of content YouTube is great for
- Some food for thought about who should or shouldn’t use the platform for business purposes
- Some information on monetization, YouTube ads and sponsorships
- A chat about how to get more eyes on your videos
- Suggestions on how often to post new videos
- A brainstorm on what kinds of videos you can do
- Suggestions on apps and software to use, since video production takes a bit more technical skill than other forms of media (although, if you have a budget you can hire someone to help you!).
