Falling in line with Google’s recent launch of Google+, their social network, Google (owners of YouTube) have taken steps to integrate more social connections throughout YouTube. I wouldn’t say it resembles a social network but it certainly is more connected now. You can even stay up to date on recent Facebook videos right on YouTube! There are auto sharing features for Facebook and Twitter and Google+ is integrated as well.

The home page now has a center feed hosting videos and on the left side is a list of channels in sort of a sidebar-esque navigation menu. The channels are now more easily customizable and include templates to give them your own personal touch. Have a look at this video and see for yourself.

So, what do YOU think of YouTube’s redesign? Sound off in the comments below!

But where do you start? Should you advertise? Of course you should but how? Television? Radio? Internet? Direct Mail? Billboards? Newspapers? The list goes on… Knowing where to start is of the utmost importance as it can literally make or break you, before you even get started! A lot of people say word of mouth marketing is the best as it doesn’t cost anything, but is that really true? Is word of mouth really cost free? What about your time? What do you do to get people talking about you and better yet, doing business with you and referring others to you as well?

There are literally countless ways to get people talking about you and feeling comfortable enough to do business with you. Most large corporations, especially retail, do television advertising in large quantities utilizing compelling visual cues to get their customer base to remember them and feel comfortable doing business with them. Small businesses can now take advantage of these same types of methods with social media and online video marketing and the cost is significantly more affordable than television advertising. This is just one example of how to get people comfortable, familiar and excited about your company or product.
