What NOT to do with Embedded YouTube Videos on Your Blog

Posted by admin February - 21 - 2009 - Saturday

If you are using video for your real estate business, please understand something about YouTube… When you embed your YouTube video on your blog (or anywhere else for that matter), all a user has to do is double click on your video to open it up on YouTube. This means they can view ALL your other videos too.

Just recently, I saw a video from a Realtor, and when I went to see if he had other virtual video tours, I got a window view into his personal life and let me tell you, as a consumer, I would not choose to work with him.

Even worse, I also saw a female real estate agent who (it appears) had a male friend host her real estate video tour on his account. His other videos, … you guessed it….. women in bikinis, and other videos that might not play well with a female audience. Bottom line – pretty unprofessional.

So, if you want to host video tours of your homes, AND, other personal videos, it might serve you well to have 2 YouTube accounts – a work account and a fun account. Don’t let all that hard video work go to waste by interweaving it with anything that your audience might deem as inappropriate.
