YouTube has finally made the decision to add a playlist to their site for users to organize their favorite videos. This has been a long time coming and many people are just thrilled that this is finally happening. But what everyone doesn’t know is exactly how these playlists work or how to create them in the first place. If you have been waiting to start your own playlists or if you want to have some for your company’s website this can be a problem. Below are the steps for creating your YouTube playlist and why you need one.
How to Create a Playlist
Once you are on the video page, there is a group of menu items which includes and “add to” link. Click on that and it brings you to another menu that shows any playlists you already have or you can create a new playlist by clicking on create new playlist. Once you have clicked on create new playlist, you’ll have the opportunity to name it. If you’re creating a playlist for business videos then you should name it something appropriate to the business. If you’re creating a playlist for your own personal use then you could name it for the videos that will be in it. Once you have your playlist created you can follow the same steps to add videos to it.
Why You Need a Playlist
Playlists can help you to keep your videos organized and you can watch them without having to load each video individually. Also, if you’re marketing your business, you can use your playlists to promote your company or products. You can also add other’s videos that help highlight your products or even the process through which they are made. It’s just important that you utilize these business playlists to promote yourself and not your competition’s videos.
What Type of Playlists do You Want
You can have as many playlists as you want and you can put as many videos as you want into them. You can have one just for your party music and one for all of your business videos. One playlist can be for all of the humorous videos that make you laugh and have one for the kids so they can watch their videos. Be creative and have fun making up your playlists. One tip though, your business and personal accounts should be separate because you really don’t want your clients or customers to know your preference for the videos you watch on your own time.
It is so exciting to know that YouTube has finally listened to users and came up with an option for playlists. This makes it so much easier to keep your videos organized and to be able to watch the all at one time. Just click on the add video button, name the playlist and you are set. You can have as many videos as you want and you can put as many videos as you watch into the playlist. Try the tips above to promote yourself on social media.
