Part 3 of 3 in a Guest Blog Series

It’s your friendly Intergalactic Ambassador to the Printerverse™, Deborah Corn, with some final insights on social media.

I talked in Part 1 about creating a community and the value of LinkedIn and Twitter. Part 2 touched on benefits of Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. In this final social media installment, I’ve saved the best for last. Drum roll, please…

This social media channel can propel you further and faster than the rest. It’s like the “picture is worth 1,000 words” saying on steroids.  It’s YouTube.

Posting YouTube videos is the most valuable, literal way to show who you are and what you can do.  Add a little humor and the “go viral” potential is there, but remember that “viral” is relevant to your social community. A few thousand views is nothing to Coca Cola, but to a small business that is not a bad ROI for creating some buzz for your biz and growing your reach and influence. YouTube is the world’s second largest search engine after Google, so make sure you tag your videos and provide appropriate keywords in your description.
