Top YouTubers: Blippi's Billion-Plus-View Empire

Top YouTubers: Blippi's Billion-Plus-View Empire | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

My two-year old son has become enamored with a colorful character named Blippi. He's one of the hottest rising YouTubers who has quite literally swept the children's educational market on the world's most popular video platform, soaring well past the billion-plus view mark. By curating content specifically geared towards helping children during their most important fundamental developmental stages, he's effectively carved a massive niche and a surprisingly large following.


One day, as my son sat enthralled by one of Blippi's videos, where he sings and dances and teaches children about all the various parts and components of a garbage truck, I knew that I needed to learn more. As someone who's entrenched in the online marketing industry and obsessed with things like passive income, I knew that what Blippi had achieved was nothing short of fascinating and amazing.


In fact, what I discovered from a rather extensive interview was even more amazing to me. Let's set aside the millions of dollars of revenue that Blippi has made, which is the brainchild of Stevin John, a creative professional from Washington State who once worked in Hollywood's film industry, behind-the-scenes, and let's look at the bigger picture here. From a branding and merchandising perspective, Blippi is sheer brilliant....

Millions of YouTubers are vying for the attention of billions of viewers on the world's most popular video platform, but only very few rise to the top.

You Tube for content marketing

You Tube for content marketing | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Let’s talk about You Tube for content marketing purposes. As much as I dislike video I still do it, and there are some people that say You Tube is the new TV… heck I even have a weekly social media hangout, so I totally get why you need  to be video marketing.


In case you’re not aware… YouTube is owned by Google and videos appear high in search results. So if you’re struggling to get on the front page of Google for a competitive phrase then video will help.


YouTube is better than TV because it’s free and user-driven. This is an extremely valuable tool for spreading brand awareness online. Next to blogging, You Tube has a low cost to entry in some instances (like blogging), all you need is a web cam, a script and a You Tube Channel....

Why wouldn't you want to use video to get better social marketing results?

A Handy Guide for Marketing a Small Business on YouTube - SocialTimes

A Handy Guide for Marketing a Small Business on YouTube - SocialTimes | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

YouTube newbies should check out The Small Business Guide to YouTube, a helpful microsite that shows a step-by-step guide for getting started with YouTube marketing.

 

Created by Simply Business, this one-page destination covers everything from creating good content to preventing legal issues. With so many instructions to read through on YouTube’s help board, this site speeds up the process by briefly summarizing all the FAQs on one page and then making detailed answers easy to find. The page is designed as a flow chart that takes you through a series of “yes” or “no” questions that lead to the answers, which are outlined in a slide show presentation.

 

It starts with the basics — “Do you know how to create a YouTube account?” — and moves into more complicated territory, like the various monetization options and how to measure your success in YouTube analytics. Every time you answer “no,” you’ll see a new slide that’s filled with checklists, videos, and links to articles to fill you in on what you don’t already know. (And who doesn’t love saying no?)...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

I highly recommend this small business guide to YouTube. It's loaded with valuable advice and marketing tips.
