Is Youtube the new Google?

It's not too hard to see why Google recently acquired video internet website Youtube. Research shows that an increasing number of people are turning to YouTube to answer everyday questions. Where Google is text and links, Youtube is a highly visual collection of how to videos and information.

Want to find out how to get the SIM card out of your new iPhone, build a tree house or make a Margareta? You'll find it all on YouTube and searches by consumers are building solidly in so many areas. In fact, as an ever growing number of people look first to the internet for entertainment before their big screen TV, it's not too difficult to see where this latest move is trending.
Tech savvy agents are also capitalising on this dynamic new media. And it has one very cool feature that most social media sites share in common; It's free.

If you have a nice home to show off, then it can be easily featured on YouTube with imbedded links to the landing page featuring your property. Some nice music in the background and suddenly you have a very cool individual marketing presence that sets your home apart from the rest.

Because YouTube is in the public domain and is trusted as a reliable media search destination, real estate videos are playing an increasingly important role in overall marketing. They are not only ‘discovered' by search but traffic is driven to the site as well.
Why not speak with your agent and see if your property is suitable for a Youtube clip.
