Understanding YouTube for Nonprofits& how to use it in your organization
Creating your YouTube Channel
Create a YouTube account or Google account to create your channel
Sign into your account to start customizing
Creating your YouTube Channel
Go to Channel Design, choose a color scheme to match your logo or other materials, and decide which modules you'd like to display on your public profile.
Continue completing the settings, add logo/photo, post information about your organization, and choose your primary video.
The primary video will play automatically each time your channel is visited.
Expanding your reach with YouTube
Create Direct Dialogue Videos
Make videos that create a dialogue about your organization’s work, mission, and what you're trying to achieve. Ask questions and solicit video responses.
Respond back with video responses.
Creating conversation / relationships.
Expanding your reach with YouTube
Create Call to Action Videos
Harness the power of user-generated content by asking supporters to submit videos to your cause.
Create an internal group to review these videos; find ways to give recognition to the best ones.
Respond back with video responses.
Creating conversation / relationships.
Expanding your reach with YouTube
Create Videos that Tell Serial Stories
Engage viewers with a series of videos that tell a story around a specific theme, and keep them coming back for more.
Once you've created a few episodes, put them into a playlist. This allows you to develop several video narratives targeted at particular demographics.
Expanding your reach with YouTube
Create Videos that Respond to Current Events
Address relevant news stories by posting videos that explain your position. You can then embed them in emails to your supporters—a video message can be more effective than an email.
Create Videos that Use Endorsements
Whether they're from celebrities or people you've impacted, it helps to have supporters talk about why your work matters.
Expanding your reach with YouTube
Create Videos that Respond to Complaints or Concerns
Often, multiple people share a concern but only one will voice it. Use your video to address them all.
Partner Up Create videos in conjunction with other organizations that compliment your mission or can assist you in promoting your cause.
Keys to a successful YouTube Channel
Reach Out Post videos that get YouTube viewers talking, and then stay in the conversation with comments and video responses.
Keep It Fresh Put up new videos regularly and keep them short—ideally under 5 minutes.
Spread Your MessageShare links and the embed code for your videos with supporters so they can help get the word out.
Be GenuineHigh view counts come from content that's compelling, rather than what's "hip."
Take donations via YouTube
Sign up for Google checkout merchant account
Go to your Google Checkout Options, enter your ID and Merchant Key, and choose donation amounts.
Once you've filled in the information, the button will appear on your public profile and all of your video pages.
Make the Most of your YouTube Channel
Customize your own channel … consistent with the look of your other social networks
Add subtitles to your videos ~ YouTube made this available in March ~ opens up your videos to the hearing-impaired
Engage with the YouTube community (if not individuals then with content or channels that connect with your line of work)
Organize your content (create lists of types of videos)
Promote your videos on your other social networks (add it to Facebook, embed videos to your website or blog, tweet about it, etc.)
Keys to making great videos
Provide good content in an engaging way (shock, surprise, humor, heartfelt)
