so how do you build your social media
accounts with your youtube channel we're
gonna talk about that in this video right now
hey what's up Sean here Benji and this is
video influencers helping you crush it
with online video and youtube and today
we're answering the question about how
to grow your other social media channels
from your YouTube channel with your
youtube channel how do you do that and
here's the thing that I would want to
start off with is that first kind of
question is why do you want to grow your
other social media channels yeah yeah um
because maybe you shouldn't yeah good
point because a lot of people they just
build their other social followings and
have no idea why they want to do it just
because everyone else is doing it and
they feel pressured to and it could lead
to overwhelm doing too much and so it's
like I always say this it's good to like
you know secure your name on twitter and
absolutely no basics but maybe like not
necessarily focus on it because until
you have a strategy or a purpose or
content we're talking about this right
now with video influencers now you're like let’s
start a Facebook page and I'm like well I
don't think we have the energy or the
capacity or the ability to sustain it so
I'm like you know but we should start
one anyways and we'll make sure we
start one before we post this video so
that no one steals it yeah and don't
don't get us wrong the thing is if you
have the hustle and you have the time
and the resources you absolutely should
start different platforms and move
people from YouTube to those platforms
but the reason we are suggesting this
Sean's mention it is because what's
realistic okay what does the average
person have available to them in terms
of time resources that so we're all
about helping you to become successful
not about what you know the best of the
best do but what do normal people do and
what do they have the capacity to do so
that's a question is why and so define
the why and what platforms you want to
build next question is where is your where is
home base but an answer to this question
it's YouTube so they want to grow some
channels with other chances but define
where home bases and I'm gonna say this
for every video influencer are watching
I actually would suggest that you build
your home base off youtube if possible I
think the only
really own is your blog yeah and
honestly your email list why are we
building an email list where we give out
a free guide and we build an email us
because we want to be able to connect
with the video influencers tribe in this
community no matter what happens if our
subscriber algorithm gets messed up on
YouTube we can still connect with you if
we had to move platforms yeah we could
still send an email and say how you now
we're on you know tube world and still
have that and so something to consider
where is your home base now and then the
last question I wrote down is then what
is your strategy for each social media
account and so here's the deal if I'm
watching you on YouTube yes the last
thing that I want is just like some
screenshots of your YouTube videos on
Instagram yeah yeah it's nothing fresh
it's nothing original something unique
to that platform so if I had us if you
have a specific strategy for each social
media accounts just saying all that
that's kind of the framework for how to
build your social media accounts with
YouTube saying that now we can make it
pretty simple yes if it's Instagram just
to give an example in kind of a case
study you should be taking good photos
you should be you know building an
audience native there on Instagram and
then at times you know pointing back to
your YouTube channel but then their
question is how do you build your social
media accounts with YouTube so then in
YouTube here's what you got to do you
got to give calls to action no you
should at the end of your videos you're
doing your videos you should say hey
guys you can connect with me more on my
social media accounts right now you can
connect with me more on at SeanCannell
everything connect let's hit me up hit
me up on snapchat hit me up on Instagram
hit me up over on facebook at Sean Cannell
helping you succeed then the digital
world hit me up on the different
channels if that's a call to action
there's links to my social media
accounts and Benji social media cans in
the youtube description please go there
right now and click them and if you're
watching this video please let us know
that you just did that because we asked
you to do it in this video and go do
that right now what was that that was a
call to action now and so that's going
to be a way in this YouTube video where
we're connecting right now you can
connect over on social media as well because
of that call to action with all that
being said my number one piece advice to
get people to follow you on another
platform it doesn't matter instagram
twitter facebook as long as whatever
you're putting out there is native to
that platform which means friendly to
that platform so don't put video on
Instagram even though it's available put
pictures there right Facebook put videos
onto facebook but natively to Facebook
the number one way to get people to
follow you on other platforms is put
exclusive content on those platforms
yeah things that aren't on YouTube ok so
like something smallish did years ago
that got people to go to their blog was
they put their bloopers on their website
on their blog I mean that is so smart
everyone loves blue bars and typically
you see youtubers putting it like in our
case at the end of their videos or a
whole separate video maybe on another
channel but if you really want to drive
traffic like you said to your own blog
to an email list right give it and give
them an incentive and interest them by
saying you know bloopers or extra or the
whole interview is on our website or its
on Facebook right yeah then they're
going to want to go there and this is a
thing even though it's a great question
to ask yourself why do I want to move
off in YouTube the reality is the nature
of people's viewing habits on YouTube
people go to youtube every single day
like they go to Facebook every single
day right yeah and even though YouTube
is our home base and that's where Judy
for example for the vlog she focuses
almost all her time right there she
understands importance of going to
facebook instagram even twitter that she
doesn't use very much and connecting
with those people because when people
flip out their phone i don't know about
you but i open up my facebook almost
every single morning it's kind of sad
sometimes I feel like it's my first
morning reaction I say check your Instagram
or whatever but rarely is it YouTube and
i think that's similar for so many
people out there to check those social
platforms before ever going to see your
subscriber list i think of YouTube
kind of like TV nowadays you're relaxing
at the end of your day your kind of
you've got extra time right and you're
just a you know enjoying a lot of great
video the way i watch youtube videos
during the day is when it pops up in my
twitter mmm or in my facebook little
lesson there three quick ways to grow
your social media accounts with youtube
this is a checklist so if you know what
you want to do it you know what you're
doing on the platform you know your
strategy its exclusive content we've
already mentioned some of them but three
quick ways number one gift calls to
action your video up and only and you
can give a lot of calls to action your
video text day and verbal text and
verbal yeah could be lower thirds
connect with me on social media could be
the verbally asking hey connect with me
on social media number two calls to
action in the end cap what is the end
cap the end cap you'll notice in this
video by the time we get to the end it
talks about going to our website and we
always say some of the same things in
the end cap do an end cap in your video
and that gives people it also people are
still watching you during the end cap
and they're like okay well what can I do
next yeah one of them things they can do
next is hey go connect on snapchat
because we're doing wild and weird and
crazy things over there yeah and
whatever and so calls to action in the
end cap you can put your social media at
logos there and then number three always
post the links in the YouTube
description yeah because people are you
looking for more information and make it
easy youtube basics make sure to add
HTTP colon forward slash forward slash
or the link is not clickable and people
are lazy that they don't want have to
retype in your name they want to click
the link take you over to the youtube to
the Twitter app on your phone or desktop
open in a new window so they can easily
follow you so those are like the three
practical ways yeah pretty simple but
but that's the best rule who's for
content there's got to be some good
happening down each of those social
media exactly it's something cool hey so
