It is not hard to do but because a lot of people are not familiar with YouTube and are not comfortable due to their “fear of the unknown”.

This fear prevents us doing many things, so to get ahead in life we often have to overcome our fears to take ourselves and our companies to the next level.

Here are the 8 essential steps to start promoting yourself on YouTube

1. Video Camera – this can even be a video on your smart phone, your webcam or a video camcorder. I have used a simple high definition flip cam that costs only a couple of hundred dollars to record some of my videos. Also I prefer to use a tripod and you can buy them starting from $50.

2. Prepare A Simple Script

This where you prepare a simple script with major points to prompt you using your text entry as a guide and just cover the main points and try and keep it to 2-3 minutes if possible. (Interviews are quite often longer at 5-10 minutes)

3. Rehearse – this will help you with your presentation and also ensure you don’t go too long and will reveal some things you may need to fine tune in your presentation (like”ums” and “aahs”)

4. Record & Present – remember to have some fun

5. Create a YouTube account

Creating an account is as simple as just filling in a form on YouTube as displayed below and then verifying your email address after creating a password. The you are ready to upload.
