YouTube, Your New Best Friend

By Jay NaPier


Home business owners everywhere are looking for ways to find new customers and turn a profit. Many have turned to web 2.0 as a way of doing it. Networking online using Tagged, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Ryze, and YouTube are some of the options home business owners are turning to for free leads.

Work from home moms meet likeminded people networking onine with social media. This connection allows them to communicate with other work from home moms, which unlike a traditional job doesn't happen on a daily basis. Sharing ideas and secrets of work from home moms allow them to better balance family and their home business.

So, what is it about social media that makes things work. It's the Personal Branding. Many, don't understand personal branding. I've been doing it since 2002 and use it daily in my MOR Vacations business. When you think about real estate, who comes to mind? Donald Trump. When you think about TV talk shows, you think about Oprah, and when you think about basketball, you think about Michael Jordan.

Social Media Video = Success, that's the formula that has made YouTube the best place to market. Video is a live connection with your target market and quickly allows you to create raport. work from home moms showing their son taking his first steps, all recorded because you work from home is an emotional moment anyone can appreciate.

For home travel agents and those building a travel business, it works great. They simply record their own family vacations onto video, they edit and post to YouTube when they get home.

When it comes to what type of video to record, one of the first should be the "Why you joined" video. This simple project should be easy as you know why you joined, and your simply going to share what got you interested in your company. In my case, I joined MOR Vacations because I love to travel, I love a great value, and MOR Vacations Perpetual Leverage pay plan allows affiliates to earn a sizable income in a reasonable amount of time.

When I put together my YouTube channel, my objective was to share my 20 plus years of knowledge with people considering Tagged or the Global Sales Center. The process has worked well. Hosting your website's welcome video on YouTube allows you to bring your personal website upto date, but also brings you more views. I love what my Global Resorts YouTube channel does for my business.

Putting YouTube on your marketing plan is important for your businesses success. Allow your customers and potential customer to get to know you better, it's a great marketing tool, and you'll see your network marketing, home party, and work from home business grow.
