At this point in time even if you haven't taken the time to visit YouTube and look around their extensive library, you've most likely still seen a YouTube video somewhere. YouTube has tons of videos in the way of entertainment, but they also have a wealth of educational and informative videos. It's a great place to do research or find a 'How To'. If you have a blog, YouTube makes it super easy to put a video right into your post!
Here are a few more reasons we love YouTube:
YouTube is being increasingly used by businesses as a marketing platform and as a Social Media Optimization tool. I was at a marketing workshop today where claims were made that one day all websites will be video so get involved in this future wave now!
If you are in job search having a professional video resume done may be something to consider. It will give you an edge in your application and a video to put on YouTube that is very professional. Generate those keywords around your name so that when someone puts you into Google you have a better chance of them finding the information about you that you want them to find. We have some great resources if you're interested in a video resume and My Media Magnet would love to help you get started on YouTube and social media in general so contact us with any and all of your social media questions!

Facebook is part of 'The Big 3' of Social Media services, the other two being Twitter and LinkedIn. Experts say if you don't have a Facebook account already, you need to get one. There are a few reasons they suggest this. Firstly, Facebook offers a great service for free that allows you to network and stay connected by creating a profile with them. Through this profile you can invite other Facebook users to be your friend and expand your personal network. If you'd like to use Facebook to further your business, they've created some great options for that as well. Facebook allows you to create a page for your business and acquire fans to keep them updates on contests or promotions or to start a discussion and get people involved and talking. As well, Facebook has some great advertising options that work for almost any budget.
Secondly, Facebook and other Social Media sites are here to stay. You may as well jump on board Facebook now because it's not going anywhere. People have discovered the benefits of being online, getting connected and sharing information; here are just a few facts to emphasize Facebook's reach in our global community:
Lastly, if you aren't putting your name or brand out there and creating a consistent identity for yourself and your business, there's a chance someone else is. Experts suggest getting Social Media accounts even if you don't intend to use them because it allows you to ensure nobody else is using your name or company falsely. Facebook also gives you tools to monitor what's being said about you or your company, which is becoming increasingly important for a person or company's professional image.
In summary, Facebook offers you a great service with the potential to grow your network and increase your company's recognition and success, making it a must for any individual or business. If you are interested in learning more about Facebook and services that we offer to ensure that you are presenting yourself consistently and professionally while monitoring your image, then please visit our site specifically our Social Media page regarding Facebook.
