YouTube can make or break you. Video doesn’t lie!
Casting directors and creatives are going to either YouTube or Google to research you. Since YouTube is owned by Google, your public videos can (and will) show up in search results.
Here are five tips to maximize your YouTube presence.
1. Only share your best work. Even if you’re not a tech savvy person, spend some time doing some cleaning and designing of your YouTube presence. As indicated above, your content from many years ago can still show up in search results.
In this day and age when your online presence is a 24/7 audition, make sure you’re presenting your best self. Here, and on all social media, think quality over quantity. It’s about sharing the talent they’re hiring today.
Visit youtube.com/my_videos to do some cleaning. Change any videos that don’t reflect your current best self from “public” to “unlisted.” This way, you can still share the unlisted links of your videos if requested (but the Internet finds a curated collection of current clips)!
2. Create a playlist. YouTube (and Google) don’t necessarily prioritize how many people watch your videos. They prioritize how long people stay.
