YOUTUBE What Is Youtube? • YouTube is a video-sharing platform that allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.youtube.com. — Hundreds of millions of videos are watched daily on YouTube—and every minute, 300 hours of video are uploaded to the site! • When a YouTube video is uploaded, you will receive a URL link which allows you to place the video on blogs, Facebook, and other social sites. This makes it simple to share the video in multiple places across the Internet. • YouTube gives each salon a chance to display their location in greater detail. Videos can be a great way to bring your salon to life online on a channel that is sought after by all demographics! What Content Should You Put in Your Videos? • Showcase your salon’s culture—including events, hair tutorials, services, etc. Consider creating a series that has multiple episodes. • Always use professional equipment and high-quality videos. Be authentic and highlight positive aspects of the experience. • Keep the footage no longer than 3-4 minutes. Anything longer will lose the viewer’s attention unless every moment is eye-catching!
