Task 1
Moving on to something a little bit different. YouTube, though it is a social media network, it is very different to things such as facebook and twitter in the way you add your content and engage with people, but with 6 billion hoursof videos watched monthly on and access to more young adults than any tv network, it really is a platform worth considering in a social media marketing plan.

The first step to appropriately
promoting yourself on YouTube is to set up your personal profile. if you have a
Google+ account you can use this and they will be linked. Once you have created
a page fill out your profile. we have talked in previous posts about the
importance of selecting a username, your channel name will appear in the search, in channel suggestions, and in
channel browse. One of the most important things to complete a description of
your channel, introduce yourself, your
name, What do you do and what
kind of videos you will be posting try using keyword in your description as
this is how who search on certain topics will be able to access your channel
If
you regularly publish videos, people will be more likely to subscribe to your
channel. As a make-up
artist you can use YouTube to publish videos of all sorts of things to help get
your name out there, such as tutorials, beauty tips, product reviews and
backstage videos of shoots etc. It can really help to create a following for
yourself as a professional make-up artist.
