Top 12 Social Networking Sites: YouTube Channels

-


Many of us remember the limited marketing options available to adults when we were younger.  I remember my father being unable to afford to promote the tutoring business he dreamed to own.  Advertising through traditional media like TV, radio and even print, were too expensive for him.

Then along came the Internet.  My father could have reached the world through today's social networking sites.  Social networking is a vital aspect of your success as a blogger or small business owner.  One retweet can make you famous! One Istagram like can take you to the top!

Using social network sites to your advantage requires extensive research.  You essentially have to stalk the networks that you want to use in order to promote your brand effectively.  YouTube equips you with yet another tool to keep you in the loop regarding all things social media.
