Youtube Video Channels - There's More That Meets The Eye

By Brad Andersohn

Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

October 16, 2010 03:09 AM

Introductions, Education, Information, Tools, Tips, News and Views are what many people on the Internet are still searching for and seeking out. That's exactly what we're trying to provide for our Youtube "Video" visitors and guests, and you should be too. Youtube is STILL one of the top "most searched sites" on the Web.

Having just returned from the New York MLS Tech Fair in Long Island where I moderated a "Social Media & Video" panel of experts, I felt compelled to get this message out there to Real Estate Industry professionals who have not yet jumped onto the "YOU Tuber" or "Vlogging" video wagon. Experts also advised just "DO IT!"

Take a look at the videos in this Cooliris player: Our very own Michael at Inman's Agent Reboot sharing some great information and tips about tools we offer, Spencer introducing himself, a Premier Agent giving their points and views and more. A great combination and variety of different people with unique and transparent personalities and opinions all delivered as a "visual" instead of in writing or text.

So are YOU using video and YOUR Youtube Channels to get found and deliver your message?

This multi-video player below is a great way to get numerous videos out to your readers in a single Blog post, page, or website. It's made by Cooliris and as you can see is very user friendly. You're also less likely to lose your hard earned and sought after traffic to the competition, just be sure to always provide the very best content you can create, find, and offer on your video channels.

Take a moment to view some of these videos and then subscribe. You won't want to miss some of the new stuff that's coming up in the weeks and months ahead. If you want to embed a Youtube Channel Player like this Coolris player into your Blog or website, it's easy. Just let me know and I'll hook you up. I'm doing a "How-To-Widget" webinar on October 25th at 11:00am (PST) and I'll make sure you're invited to be one of our guests.

Youtube Video and Cooliris? Another Great "Visual" Way To Share. Have a great weekend~

Brad this is exactly the information I'm looking for. Cooliris, I've seen it before but never thought too much about it. Now with your recommendation I'll take it to the next step. Looking forward to the widget training. Can't wait!

Video and Cool Iris are nice, but not necessary. A lot of agents would be better off forgetting about the latest shiny objects and just focusing on the fundamentals.

John Novak - I know it's the weekend, but are you high? lol~
Those shiny little objects put more $$$$ in pockets than you might think my friend. Video IS fundamental.

Jim - it's coming soon.....

Cool Iris is a very nice product. I have had it on my radar for a while now. I need to incorporate this into my blog arsenal. I'd love to be in the webinar on the 25th of October.

Hi Brad,

I've done an average of one YOuTube video a day since I got my little Flip video camera.

Maybe I don't have the quality thing down, but I do have the quantity thing down.

Curious...what's the difference/value between a YouTube or Cooliris widget? Is one better than the other?

You write "Experts also advised just "DO IT!" Its been okay, the way to show and tell quickly, simply with a tap, hit the toggle with video property, area delivery for quite a while now. How big is youtube's hard drive? 789.4 Petabytes1 petabyes = 1 million gigabites. McDonalds took decades to deliver this many this quick.

The class on the 25th will be announced this next week, anyone is welcome to join.

@Terri - the difference is that cooliris lets you embed your entire Youtube Channel (All videos) where Youtube players only let you embed one video at a time, then show related videos when your single video is done playing.

@Susie - love to see you there, love the new photo BTW... just sayin. :-))

Hey Brad~ I have been wondering this. I have now have 83 videos that I've created and uploaded to my YouTube channel. I realized that I have a nice collection now! I have been trying to figure out the best way to put them out there besides just on my YouTube channel.

Hi Nyssa - putting a coolris player on your heavily trafficed sites is one way, putting a link to your channel in the comment of a Blog post on AR is another subtle and sly way of doing it too! lol~ Some might consider that spamming but you know me, I think it's great when you can share or contribute something of value or even a sample for others to see. Off to check out your youtube channel now...

OK... I'm back. Very cool channel Nyssa, I like the colors and theme. Here's a channel that's using an API with video, the first I've ever seen. Check it out and let me kn ow what you think.

For anyone interested in seeing how you can use a Youtube API on your Youtube channel, or even apply the Zillow API on your Youtube Channel, here's a link to the direct answers and what you'll need to do this. Very cool and for the record, the competition is already doing it. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/overview.html
