Creating a YouTube Channel and Videos for Your Lawn Care Company
Name: Usually it makes most sense to name it after your business but if there’s already a similar channel out there you’ll want to make the necessary changes to side-step a potential law-suit.
Music: Speaking of legal hot water, avoid using music that’s copyrighted. Rather check out YouTube’s free online music library.
Storage: Make sure you’re able to properly save your video by keeping enough space on your computer or external hard drive.
Filming: Use multiple cameras at different angles while filming a project/jobsite. Once you’re able to start editing you’ll have more content to choose from, resulting in a better end product.
Software: Check out Adobe Premier Pro or iMovie (if you're working on a Mac) to edit your videos. If you have a GoPro and need to turn photos into video, you’re likely familiar using GoPro Studio.
Length: It’s best to limit video to four minutes and always balance out your content so it’s not front or back heavy - allowing your video to grab and maintain viewer’s attention.
Website: If you’re going through all this to create and post cool videos it’s a good idea to put them on your business’s website so you can reach an even greater audience.
Maybe you’re not the next Spielberg and making videos doesn’t strike your interest. Totally fine. Following the right channels or simply using it as a resource when needed, can provide you with information to improve your lawn care business.
