The new service is called YouTube XL and you can see it here http://www.youtube.com/xl.

To be honest this seems pretty cool and it must be an obvious push to answer the question “when is YouTube going to start making some money” of course that would mean ad revenue but what can it mean for the real estate industry?

Well this is purely speculation on my part but I like breaking out the crystal ball and guessing as to what the future holds. I imagine that once real estate as an industry really takes a stronger hold on YouTube that more and more people will naturally go there for information on buying and selling, choosing an agent, finding a good inspector, the entire buying process, tips on selling, how to stage your home, etc. This of course assumes that those in the industry start filling YouTube with great content that consumers would be looking for.

I am sure you have a “real estate channel” on your local cable station and I am also sure you realize the suckiness of these channels. The biggest suckiest part of these channels is that it costs an extreme amount of money to even put content on them. Well that’s because the cable companies enjoy a monopoly and those with the means of production and distribution especially in a monopoly situation means they can fix prices; hence the overpriced suckitude of cable advertising. But that would not be the case with a YouTube real estate channel. For the most part you would be able to make videos for free and distribute them for free and reach an even wider audience than cable can for free! The problem here is that cable and other ISPS are one step ahead of the consumer and are doing everything in their vast power to limit access to this type of thing. There is a huge battle going on right now that you probably aren’t even aware of. Your cable company does not want you to watch TV on the internet. They don’t want you to get anything for free. They want you stuck using their corporate controlled monopoly with limited access and service and charge you an insane amount of money. Hopefully the FCC steps in and fixes the situation.

In the meantime I would (as I always suggest) take YouTube very seriously and start (if you have not started) putting up some really good content. Established content will become featured content and featured content will get you noticed. All it takes is a little vision on your part and a dash of motivation.
