I need your help with Youtube and branding. In June I set up a Youtube account for my vlogging. I had a personal account so I created another account for Green Home Realty, my brand. I find it annoying to toggle now as I have to log off and on to toggle between my gmail and youtube. It's mainly only an issue when I am uploading as it takes forever.

Green Home Realty channel

I deleted the personal account and tried to edit the email in my Green Home Realty channel but it won't let me!

I'm pondering the idea of leaving that account open but creating a new account with something more generic like San Antonio Homes For Sale or may be branding me, Cathy Bureau Realtor. I'm undecided. I really wish I could just connect the Youtube channel, Green Home Realty to my gmail account, that would solve the issue.

Question 1: Does anybody know if there is a way to edit the email account so I can just swap it over?

Question 2: If not, should I go generic like "San Antonio Homes For Sale" or

Question 3: Should I brand my name?

If so, which name?

Cathy Bureau - Realtor

Cathy Bureau - Green Home Realty

Cathy Bureau - San Antonio Real Estate

Other?

Sorry, no points awarded, just a cute little green heart for you.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO ADD YOUR COMMENTS AS OTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR HELP AND ADVICE TOO, BUT I DECIDED ON STARTING A 2ND CHANNEL: GREEN HOME REALTY SA channel

1. Generic does not hurt if it is very googled and key worded.

2. You might cross promote the two vlogs each on the other.

3 Try putting it up on Twitter and StumbleUpon and such with targeted keywords and Twitter hashtags ( These things --> #Insertword

Hi Cathy,

Love your side bar video's great idea....

as far as your branding name, has a lot todo with your long term plans.....

do you persoanlly want to be the brand or are you thinking to build a team or company around the green realty brand, either way that would to me become the driving force as to what names to use.

google will soon blend the lines between many of their brands (including you tube) it is likely that they will have solutions on the books for your dilema in short order.

Cathy, sorry that you have trouble with your youtube account, I am not savvy and I can't help. May be Activerain ambassador Katerina Gasset of Wellington FL can help, just send her a note she is very friendly and helpful. Good luck.

Hi Cathy-my 2 cents worth would be to create Gren Home Realty-San Antonio. If someone searches green Home they will get the entire world as you know. When you start opening your branches all over the country you can keep the same green home realty and just change the city. Have an awesome weekend

Not sure if this helps...my YT is attached to my Yahoo account not my main GMail/Google account. I don't want to delete the "old" account because it has followers, lots of videos, and Google likes it. I contacted Google and they said it was permanently linked and there was nothing they could do. I even tried some of the online advice to detach/re-attach but that doesn't work...it always comes back to having to delete the accounts and starting over.

Currently, it means signing in/out when syndicating content but otherwise there isn't an issue I can't live with. I lose a little with branding but you can clearly state who/what in your YT description and on each video so it's not that big a deal.

Stop by msanitaclark and subscribe to my YT Channel...I'll reciprocate. ;-)

Good Morning Cathy, Great topic, i have not yet dived into the video's yet, i am hoping when it slows down this winter i may have the time. i am afraid though if i dont make the time, there will never be any free time. I am interested in seeing the responses you get so i can learn how to do it. Have a great Saturday

Cathy -

I got your email this morning. Anita has a good answer and that's the way I understand it too. As for the name, I'd stick with what you've already been "branding." But, make sure to do the "long tails" on your YouTube video descriptions.

By the way, hope you all belong to YouTube Thursdays - i know Cathy does! ( Hope you don't mind me promoting the new Group Cathy - if so just delete this - no big.)

Making Real Estate Profitable

Thanks for all of your wonderful comments and help. I decided on keeping the old one and just not promoting it. I created a new channel that is now linked to my gmail: greenhomereatlysa (Marco's idea). I was gravitating that way. I probably should have named my website and face book and... oh well.

Have a great weekend, thanks!

PS I'm not only happy to have Debb promote the group in the comment I will reblog her blog on it.

☂ Good luck Cathy on your YouTube channels. Laura's advise is sound, check what keywords are searched for using Google keywords and think about naming your site that way. I like it better than using our surnames.

I also like her idea of cross promoting the two sites as I don't know of a way to merge them. Good luck and happy VBlogging!
