The growing importance of YouTube marketing is evident in successful business marketing campaigns. It has not only established itself as a venue for short video clips, but has joined websites such as Twitter and Facebook as a major social networking site. YouTube is second only to Google as the most popular website visited. That, and its ability to reach consumers globally, is establishing itself as a valuable social site for businesses. Following are some major reasons why YouTube is becoming increasingly important to business marketing campaigns.

Businesses can utilize YouTube not only for publicizing short videos, but also by exchanging information. These are called sharing tools. More specifically, users can share favorite videos, comment on, and rate them, as well as list favorite videos. One can sign up quickly and for free, and immediately begin using these tools. As a business shares and networks, it gains recognition, and well as a better understanding of the types of customers it might attract.

To make the most of your marketing plan, you should eventually develop a short video on your business. Many websites exist to assist you to easily make a short video. Joining YouTube and uploading your video is easy and free! There are not many marketing vehicles out there that provide this service at no cost. In addition, YouTube reaches millions of viewers per day. As many as 100 million videos are viewed daily.

This website provides valuable feedback on your video clip and your business. Most other social media websites are unable to provide information and measure the effectiveness of your social activity. Understanding how your target consumer responds to your media provides you with invaluable insight in improving your company’s message to increase market share and/or sales.

YouTube’s Insight Statistics and Data capability provides specific, quantifiable data on user response to business video clips. This clarifies customer demographics along with the business’s perceived popularity. The community tab of the Insights reports provides more detail on how users are commenting and rating your video. All of this information can be used effectively to improve marketing tactics resulting in a better business model.

Businesses can advertise further by inserting links on their YouTube channel. By doing this, a company can divert traffic to its own website, or to any website that it chooses. This further assists in promoting the business message. YouTube videos are linked to universal internet searches, but there are far fewer videos than text. This enhances the possibility that a customer will find your business if you have taken the time to make a short YouTube video.

Conventional marketing methods are costly and time-consuming as compared to online methods. In addition, these more established processes reach only a small fraction of potential customers as compared with those reached by the World Wide Web. While local advertising and marketing is helpful for small businesses, online marketing taps this same local consumer base along with a more widespread market. Local customers are logging onto YouTube at the same rate as consumers in distant locations.

YouTube marketing is quickly rising in importance. It is growing into one of the best marketing tools that can be used by businesses. Its broad reach to users in the global marketplace make it a very efficient method of growing a business and increasing sales.

I am a professional photographer in Costa Rica. The experiences on my tours are many since I never know what my group and I will happen upon. Let me tell you about one of these surprising events.

During one of our Costa Rica Photo Tours, my group drove to a photography location in the beautiful and pristine Osa Peninsula which National Geographic has called “the most biologically diverse place” on earth. To get there we drove through the tiny village of Ojochal near where I live.

Let me tell you about a unique way to move that some rural Costa Ricans still use. One day, when my photography group was passing through the village, we noticed a most unusual way of moving. But, to help you better appreciate what we saw, let me provide you with some background on the man who was moving.

The fellow who was moving was one of my neighbours, Senor Wilson (real Spanish name, don’t you think?), who has brought my wife and me flowering plants since we moved in. It was really funny the first day that he stood at the top of the driveway with plants in hand. He was so polite that he would not come down to the house without our invitation even though he was there to give us a present.

We finally realized after speaking (he in Spanish and we mostly in English that ) that he wanted to give us the flowering plants he was carrying. Very neighborly. Particularly when you understand that Senor Wilson did not own a car and walked, plants in hand, down a mountain on a dirt road–an hour to our house and an hour back!

Over time, neighbor Wilson has walked to my house many times with plants. Now, it often happens that when he gives me his gifts he stands there waiting for me to plant them. Of course, sometimes I may already be on another project and cannot very well stop what I am doing so the plants get put into the ground later but my good neighbor sometimes drops by to find out where and when I had planted them. I never imagined that when I moved from Canada to Costa Rica.

Wilson came back a few days later to deliver yet another plant while his children swam in the river by our house. To my procrastinating dismay he asked where I planted the others that he had brought me.

Oops! They were still in the pots on the terrace (these pots are certainly not decorative in any way as they are old aluminum kettles with drainage holes stabbed in the bottom of the pot with a machete). When Senor Wilson saw that his previous gifts were still in the pots, he decided he needed to plant the gifts he had given me since I apparently did not know how to do it. I hope you are getting an idea about what kind of fellow my neighbor is.

Back to moving day. As my photography tour group and I were driving a dusty Ojochal road, we saw a man walking his horse. It was Wilson. We stopped the van and I saw that the horse was carrying two huge white bags filled with what seemed to be clothes and household items. There was also a broom wedged between one of the bags with its blue bristle extending between the horse’s ears. For the life of me, it looked as if the horse had a bristle blue tiara on! Poor horse, not very macho!

Wilson was holding the horse’s bridle in one hand and a birdcage in the other. A sight to behold. A man, a horse, a crown, and a birdcage. Moving day!

Wilson and I start to chat as the group hurriedly grabbed their cameras. I greeted him with “Hola, que tal?” (how are you?) and jokingly asked he was moving. Well, to my surprise, that was exactly correct. The horse was his moving van or, as my group called it, Wilson’s 4 X 4.

He explained that he, his wife (a tiny lady who looks 14), and the 3 kids would be taking care of a B&B while the owner returned to Germany during Costa Rica’s rainy season. They were very pleased about this arrangement because living in the pueblo brought the kids closer to the school, saving them from walking two miles down and back from their mountain home.

The birdcage was quite interesting. It seemed to me that on one of the previous trips someone could have brought the cage down to the new digs.

Carting flowering plants and birdcages is all in Wilson’s job description. He told me and the group that the little bird was very young (parrot or parakeet, I don’t know), that it just loved to talk and knew many words. As though he understood, the bird started showing off, chattering away while we are talking about it. I would tell you what it said but my command of bird Spanish remains very poor to this day. Sorry.

There was a great deal of excitement and clicking of cameras as the group was taking pictures of the family, the chattering bird, and the embarrassed regal horse since the chance of seeing something like this again, ever, was quite remote. Welcome to moving day in the mountains of southern Costa Rica! Local colour is always the surprise on my photo tours.

My life in Costa Rica has been an outstanding experience with a variety of adventures and events. I have photographed a number of beautiful and incredible sights and this is just one very small example of how close I live to it all.

We all know that there are leaf cutter ants in the jungle and they are responsible to bring leaves to their nest. Listen to this story of the strength, persistence, and dedication to duty of one ant.

An ant we will call Bill, was travelling along with all of his buddies as they were devastating my favourite flowering tree near my driveway. Bill dropped his leaf to pick up something he thought might be more beneficial to the group, a matchstick, the strong wooden type. He began carrying it upright as if it were a leaf. I think he was a little confused but, of course, maybe I was the only one confused.

With care I picked up the matchstick thinking that I would lessen the load. And incredible as it might seem, Bill did not let go and was picked up along with the match, his little feet still trying to march away.

I carried the match, with ant, to the terrace of my house and put it down thinking that he would let go. I guess Bill was looking for his marching band, because he began to march around with the matchstick held high weaving around chairs and tables but remaining on the terrace.

Without hesitation he marched around and around like a soldier carrying his flag. As a photographer I watched and photographed in amazement for over an hour and could not help but wonder when he would drop the match and go on his merry way as he must have been panting by now, not that you can see an ant pant, believe me!

Without hesitation he marched around in military precision carrying his treasure. After more than an hour of watching and photographing Bill I could not help but wonder when he would get so tired that he would drop the match as I am sure he was panting by now, and believe me it is really hard to see an ant pant.

Now I can truly respect their stamina and persistence when doing their very important job carrying their leaves back to their nest. As Bill became very tired I eventually was able to take the matchstick away and freed him from his load to go back to, what else, carrying leaves.

Who among us would drop a light load to carry a very heavy one for our team? Think about it and what we can learn from this wonderful creature that we often take for granted.
