Effective Social Media Platforms for your Brand

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Marketing Advisor & Squeeze Mortgage NMLS# 377413

I was recently invited to contribute to an article about the value of different social media platforms for business and what my favorites are.  There are several contributors to this article so you will benefit from different expert perspectives.  I chose to focus on YouTube for several reasons including:

YouTube logo

1. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world behind Google.

2. YouTube is owned by Google and hence gets great organic search value.

3. Video is one of the highest forms of engaging content - very consumable.

4. I can use video to create an education channel to teach small business owners about all the free marketing they can do for themselves and also teach them tips about choosing a marketing company to work with.

I hope that you find this article publised at EduPristine to be of value as it covers several different social media platforms and the benefits of each.

Very true, ever since YouTube videos can show up in google search results also it can help you be at the top of search.

Hey, all. Randy- great post. Youtube is a wonderful tool. However, I've started to notice that a lot of people are jumping on the Instagram bandwagon. Also, Twitter is great for blasting out marketing. Those two platforms are rising in popularity, and make promoting your brand effortless.

Good morning Randy. I used to use YouTube, but an currently using Vimeo, not sure what but find it easier to work with and get the same amount of juice.

Make it a great weekend!

Joe Petrowsky Joe at least with Vimeo paid service you retain copyright ownership of your content unlike YouTube which owns your content when you upload it.

I like shooting videos of communitys that I farm and the surrounding neighborhood so viewers can have a feel for where the supermarket, school and other important places are relative to the listing.
