I spend a lot of time making short videos with my iPhone 5 and uploading them to YouTube. I’d like to have them automatically also appear on Facebook and Google Plus, but when I use the Apple iPhone camera app and upload the video, I then have to log in to YouTube and manually share the videos. Tedious, to say the least. Is there a better option? I have heard that YouTube has a “Capture” iOS app?
If you’re a content producer, you should already be creating and posting videos on YouTube. With millions of searches every hour, and billions of videos viewed weekly, it’s another important place to attain visibility for your company, products and services.
But how do you know whether people like your videos? Sure, there’s the view counter and there’s a like/dislike indicator, but those are crude and almost pointless because someone who watches four seconds of your video and bails is counted identically to the next viewer who watches the video all the way through and visits your Web site immediately thereafter.
Turns out that the team at YouTube know this and have some pretty interesting analytics built into the video hosting service that offer a lot more insight. Let’s have a look…
I’ve been putting up a few videos on YouTube but am upset to see really crude and obscene comments left by others. I don’t want those! On the other hand, I do want good comments, those from people who have questions or just want to share their pleasant opinions. Can I selectively delete comments on my video on YouTube?
I’ve been uploading some videos to YouTube and am really frustrated by the thumbnail image that YouTube chooses for the video. It’s usually awful. Is there a way to change it and, ideally, to actually specify the exact frame I want to have used for a custom YouTube video thumbnail?
When I do a search on Google why are videos showing up on page 1 now, and more importantly why isn’t my YouTube video showing up? Is there some way to improve my chances of being found on YouTube and Google for videos I upload?
I’ve been starting to upload videos of my daughter singing and playing guitar and we’ve hit a limit of 15 minutes for the entire video on YouTube. But I’ve seen videos on YouTube that are longer, including a conference talk you gave that’s an hour long! What’s the secret of being able to post longer videos on YouTube?
I set up my YouTube account years ago and now that I am more serious about producing videos for my cooking classes, I’d really like to update the profile picture to be my company logo. How can I update my profile photo on YouTube, Dave?
Have you bought Google AdWords Video [actually it’s called “YouTube Promoted Videos” -dt] before? I’m confused about whether the CPM bid for 1000 “plays” or 1000 “opportunities to play” the video on YouTube? Thx for any help! Their explanations are both automated and opaque.
