Reggie Nicolay, San Francisco<\/strong> – YouTube is turning out to be a noteworthy tool for Real Estate. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not just saying that because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll host your video for free. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face it; YouTube has become an online destination. And not just for teenagers. In November, iMedia Connection<\/a> covered an eMarketer report dispelling myths about the average YouTube visitor. eMarketer said, ages 35 to 64 make up the largest audience, with ages 25 to 34 coming in second. I was surprised to learn this; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s contrary to what the mainstream media leads us to believe. eMarketer also stated ages 35 to 64 were the largest share of unique visitors. As if that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough, according to Nielsen NetRatings<\/a>, YouTube was the fastest growing Web brand the first half of this year. Compile that with ComScore Media reporting over 60% of YouTubes visitors earn 60k or over annually. Now what do you think of YouTube and its benefit to Real Estate Marketing?<\/p>\n

Okay, so we know consumers are flooding YouTube. How can real estate agents benefit most? Why not start by creating educational videos? For example, buying your first home, the process of buying\/selling, planning your move, or even financial preparation. These videos will enhance your own website, and be viewable on YouTube. You may also want to advertise your new listings or promote services\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the list goes on and on! Just keep in mind you are making a video to represent you and your business. Keep it professional.<\/p>\n

How do I get started?
\nFirst you need a plan! Start by reading up on a few principles around video production. VideoMaker<\/a> & YouTube<\/a> have a lot to say on the subject. If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t already have a free YouTube account, create one here<\/a>. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve also compiled a list of ingredients:<\/p>\n

– Digital \/ analog video recorder (Digital is preferred. Analog must be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153digitized\u00e2\u20ac\u009d using a converter box.)
\n– Tri-Pod & Microphone (Not required, but can increase the overall quality)
\n– Video Editing Software (For PC –Adobe Premier Elements<\/a>, Windows Movie Maker or for Mac iMovie<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve created a video, you are ready to post! Keep in mind the following:
\n– Popular Formats: Quicktime (.mov), Windows (.avi) or MPEG.
\n– Recommended Format: MPEG formatted at 320 x 240 resolution with MP3 Audio.
\n– Movie Length: Less than 10 minutes.
\n– Movie Size: Less than 100MB.
\n– YouTube Tags: Important, these are your keywords. Think creatively.
\n– Embed Code: This is the snippet of code you will add to your website or blog to display your video.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
