Video marketing has become a common strategy for entrepreneur and small business owners. Recently I attended a MeetUP group that my friend Russ Henneberry held on YouTUBE Marketing. I guess you could say that I was inspired and heavily moved which led to what you’re reading about now. Seriously! If you have not considered video marketing as a strategy to help you gain visibility and authority on the web you need to be looking into it ASAP.

YouTUBE offers unlimited potential for exposing your content and targeting a specific audience.  Its unique platform lets you connect with users from around the World which helps create business potential and new prospects.  While I’m not here to show you how to use YouTUBE for business I want to show you how to check your video insights.  Your YouTUBE Insights consist of demographics about and individual video or your whole YouTUBE Channel.  Here you can find the individual activities that users from around the Planet have taken on a specific video that you have uploaded or an entire overview of your channel.
