5 out of 5 stars Highly Informative and well written

I loved this book because it is simple, clear and concise in it's instructions and explanations of marketing ideas. For anyone who doesn't know anything about marketing, this book is for you because it explains why you should do something. Until I read this book, I had no idea of the power of YouTube as a marketing tool, as well as other social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. It's a gem for sure!

5 out of 5 stars YouTube for Business

Lately everyone seems to be talking about YouTube. What started out as a place to waste a few hours watching stupid people tricks has grown into the next big marketing thing. It makes sense. Where else can you get your infomercial or other video blurb in front of millions of people without paying a cent?

Many people are jumping on the bandwagon without thinking. They post their old commercials or send in a clip without much thought about if they should be using YouTube. While YouTube can be a great opportunity, it has to fit your company and your product. Like any marketing plan, you have to know your target audience and find out they need, want, and desire. Then, tailor your product and your marketing to suit them.

YouTube for Business goes through the complete process from figuring out if YouTube is right for your marketing plan and shooting a video through editing and formatting concerns to posting your video at YouTube and other like-minded sites. If you are the least bit curious about online video marketing, you have to get this book. It will help you figure out what you need to do and how to go about do it.

5 out of 5 stars An Internet marketing book that can help small businesses and nonprofits alike use YouTube to enhance their marketing efforts!


I loved this book. It is well outlined and well written. And it is very topical in today's business marketing world where small businesses can use YouTube to enhance their online marketing efforts significantly. The book has 16 chapters divided into the following five parts:

I. Marketing your business online with YouTube (1-3)
II. Producing Your YouTube Videos (4-8)
III. Managing Your YouTube Videos (9-11)
IV. Working with YouTube Video Blogs (12-13)
V. Promotion and Monetization (14-16)

And each Part is concluded with a "Profile" which applied what had been discussed in the chapters preceding it. I found these profiles very helpful and informative. Not too long ago I read and reviewed "Show Me: Marketing with Video on the Internet" (ISBN: 1884230016). I had high hopes for that book and wanted it to be like the instant book being reviewed. Unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. However, after reading "YouTube for Business" this other book might be a good companion read?

Internet marketing today seems to be about putting together successful ways to generate traffic to your company or nonprofit Web site. You can do this by performing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. You can do this by creating lots of content pages in your Web site. You can do this by writing articles and posting them on free article-posting sites online. Each article will have a by-line directing traffic back to your site. You can generate traffic by creating one (or more than one) blog which will direct traffic back to your site. And after reading this book you can generate traffic by creating simple videos you post on YouTube that will direct viewers back to your Web site.

The really neat thing about YouTube traffic generation is that it not only generates traffic, but it allows you to get your face and voice in front of people as though you were standing there talking with them. You can become three-dimensional rather than just two.

My favorite part of the book was Part II where the author goes into some depth into how to produce videos for posting on YouTube. And it is these same videos you will want to paste into your main Web site and your blog posts. I highly recommend this book for just about any small business owner who wants to make a name for themselves better and quicker. 5 stars!
