When you think about social media, what big players come to mind – Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram? A recent survey by Pew Research Group revealed that the single most widely-used social platform in the United States is not Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram. It is YouTube. People flocking to YouTube are not just people under the age of 30. YouTube’s users are people from every age demographic on the planet. YouTube referrals generate more average sales revenue per visit than Twitter. YouTube’s conversion rates rank third among all social media platforms. The fact that YouTube is not top of mind for most professionals and businesses means that it represents a powerful digital marketing opportunity for those who embrace this ubiquitous digital platform. Learn how to take advantage of this disconnect and use this medium as a premier talent development tool.
Please bring your laptop or mobile device. This is a hands-on session.
On completion of this session you will:
- Identify why developing a YouTube and video strategy is imperative for internal and external clients.
- Develop skills to exponentially increase the number of subscribers to a YouTube channel.
- Identify how to competitively position your organization and its value proposition on YouTube.
- Develop skills to use YouTube to acquire new talent development clients.
- Identify how to deliver training content in an engaging and compelling manner.
- Evaluate how ranking on YouTube is different from ranking on Google and why you should care.
- Comprehend how Search Engine Optimization rules have dramatically changed in 2019 and how to use them to your advantage.
