Hello Everyone! I apologize for the lack of posts we have had here, this upcoming National Event in Atlantic City in May is going to be a record breaker and we have all been working hard here at the corporate office to make sure it’s the BEST EVENT YET!!!Don’t forget to register if you haven’t already, it’s going to be life changing!

So on another note, today I wanted to talk a little bit about videos and YouTube. We have been helping you use social media for a few months now and everyone seems to be networking and connecting very well! Now the 5LINX Facebook page has taken off and we see many of you participating on it, but have you considered using YouTube too? YouTube is an easy and FREE way to spread knowledge and information over the Internet and with recent advancements of technology, it has become even more quick and easy to create videos for you and your team online!

You can create testimonial videos from you and your team, or announce an event you are hosting or attending and explain a little bit about it (BOM, Super Saturday, Regional etc.) Don’t forget that creativity will get your video going viral, so we encourage professional creativity! Just don’t forget to mind the 5LINX Policies & Procedures regarding internet marketing, advertising and social media when creating your videos. Here is a step by step process to create a video in just a few minutes on your YouTube account!

Step 1: If you are not yet registered on YouTube, go to www.YouTube.com and register, or sign in if you are already a member.

Step 2: Click “Upload video” and you will see an option to either upload an existing video from your computer or camera, or now you can even record a video right then and there from your computers webcam!

Step 3: Once recorded, you can embed your video in your own blog or website (keep in mind the Policies & Procedures) or you can simply upload it to your YouTube page or channel.

Step 4: Enter an engaging title, something that will draw in your prospects or create interest for your team. Make sure to keep in mind that titles like “Make Money FAST!” tend to be associated with scams or illegitimate companies so be sure to create professional, engaging titles with true meaning! Also be sure to write a description that describes your video well so that when videos are searched in YouTube and through search engines, your video will show up most relevant to your topic!

Step 5: You are done! Promote your video to your team for educational use or even use it as a tool to impress prospects or those currently outside of the company.

Social media can be very easy! With all of your new ideas, creativity and drive to succeed, we can all really leverage social media to aide in our success! Don’t forget about www.5LINXconnect.com to see what else we are doing with social media.
