5 Tips to Design the Best YouTube Channel Page | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Bob Al-Greene:  "There's a science to setting up the perfect YouTube channel page. Get the lowdown on crucial elements."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Though your channel's landing page might appear simple (and it's grown simpler over the years), there are a number of features you can fine-tune to optimize a viewer's experience. You can't customize like you used to, and there's a lot of white space, but there are very specific ways to make your page stand out.

NEW: Curate YouTube Playlists with New Intro and Outro Video Feature

NEW: Curate YouTube Playlists with New Intro and Outro Video Feature | Machinimania | Scoop.it

For some of you this is very inetersting news.

Check out the new future on Youtube.

@safegaard



Robin Good: YouTube has just introduced a great, valuable feature to its playlist service, by allowing playlist authors to add short video clips at the beginning, end and in between any clip, to contextualize, introduce or explain what has been seen or is coming up next.

 

From the original article on TheNextWeb: "YouTube decided to help out the community a bit by releasing a new intro and outro feature that lets you insert professional clips in between your videos easily.

 

YouTube Engineer Eric Lundberg said: "You can choose from a variety of styles for text introductions and even add royalty-free music tracks. Interstitials will appear as unlisted videos in your account, and are eligible for monetization if they are at least 15 seconds long."

 

These particular features allow video creators to tell a full story in a series of videos. Even if you’re not making your own videos, creating a playlist is a way of providing a valuable service to the community."

This is a great addition for video curators who can now add their viewpoint, comments and context to any video compilation they decide to assemble.

 

N.B.: You can choose from a variety of styles for text introductions and even add royalty-free music tracks. Interstitials will appear as unlisted videos in your account, and are eligible for monetization if they are at least 15 seconds long.

 

The interstitial video clips can be recorded directly from you webcam.

Your Next Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It Is… YouTube!

Your Next Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It Is… YouTube! | Machinimania | Scoop.it

This piece was written by Ric Williams, COO of Empire Avenue. For those of you who are on Empire Avenue, you will want to hear about this news. For those of you who are not participating in this great social network, the following statistic effects everyone doing business on line.

 

****These predictions were not made by me, I choose to remain open, no matter what video will play an important role in how users consume content.

 

****By 2015, 90% of all internet traffic will be video.

 

****YouTube streams 3 Billion hours of video a month; that is 30 minutes of video for every man, woman and child on the planet. Wow!

 

Here's the takeaway for all you Empire Avenue fans:

 

**** It is becoming more difficult to drive people to your content and engage them just because of the sheer amount of content that is now on YouTube.

 

****Missions have proven incredibly powerful for driving engagement with online content, and this is just one way we’re improving the feature.

 

**This release will be the first of a few that we will release over the coming weeks with a similar theme, i.e. giving the creator traceability and help them to better engage people in their content.

 

My comments:

 

It's important to learn and understand how all these networks fit together, how significant video and Youtube will be in the years to come and what ways you can leverage this to grow and build your audience.  It's a learning curve for many but it's worth the time and effort.

 

In today's marketplace, you have to build community and good will, and Empire Avenue is one of many ways to do it.

School systems should use YouTube as a way of instruction through online education.

Jennifer Okpara's curator insight, April 16, 2014 12:39 PM

I use Youtube for almost everything. For instance, I use Youtube to see how you do certain exercises, or for even baking things and most importantly watching music videos. Youtube is the longest site I have been using for information or to recap on old information.
