Pros and Cons of Making Your Own YouTube Videos
Pros and Cons of Making Your Own YouTube Videos
Are
you one of the millions of internet users who enjoy watching free videos on
YouTube? If you are, the thought of
creating your own YouTube video may have crossed your mind; has it? If so, you may be wondering whether or not
you should make your own YouTube video and then upload it to the YouTube
website. When making your decision, it
is advised that you can examine the pros and cons of doing so.
When
it comes to making your own YouTube video, there are a number of cons or
downsides to doing so. Perhaps, the
biggest downside to making your own video and then uploading it to YouTube is
that you are essentially sharing the video with the whole world. Many individuals mistakenly believe that
their videos will only be seen by YouTube members, but that isn’t the
truth. Any internet user, even those
without a YouTube account, can view videos on YouTube. In fact, it is not uncommon for YouTube video
viewers to email a YouTube video link to those that they know. Therefore, the
views that your YouTube videos may get maybe more than you ever expected or
wanted.
Since
any video that you upload to the YouTube website can be viewed by just about
anyone with an internet connection, you may want to be careful with the amount
of information that you disclose. For
instance, if you are doing a video blog, you might not want to give your real
name or at least not your full name. It
is also important that you don’t mention where you live. If you want, you may want to outline the
state that you reside in, but never give the city or town, especially if you
disclose your name. You will want to try
and refrain from giving any personal information to any YouTube member, even
those who send you personal messages asking for information. As with the most
online websites, YouTube can be a dangerous place, but you should be able to
stay safe as long as you stay aware.
Although
there are a few downsides or cons to uploading your videos to the YouTube
website, there are also a number of pros or plus sides to doing so. One of those pros is ease of use. Even if you consider yourself to be unskilled
with computers, you should still be able to make, upload, and share your video
or videos on YouTube. In all honesty,
all you need is a video recording device, like a camcorder or a webcam, and a
movie editing software program, which now comes standard with most
computers. Once you have your video on
your computer and edited, if you wish to do so, you will just need to follow
YouTube’s step-by-step uploading instructions and then your video should be
ready for sharing, in as little as a few minutes.
Another
pro to using YouTube to share your own videos with other internet users is used. Although a large number of
internet users use YouTube videos for fun or for personal reasons, there are
many others who use them for business or at least to up their exposure. You need to remember that millions of
internet users watch videos on YouTube.
While your YouTube video will be unlikely to get one million views, you
could get quite a bit. Whether you are
advertising your services, like as a website designer or an online actress, you
can do so through YouTube. The only
thing that you will want to do is try to not take the spam approach. If you are advertising yourself as a website
designer, try taking a few videos of you making a website or use your video to
explore websites that you have made. Simply adding your business information at
the end of the video is a great way to get your point across, but without
making your YouTube video seem as it is an advertisement.
As
you can see, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages, or pros and
cons, to making your own YouTube videos.
As stated above, it is advised that you use your best judgment. Of course, you can post a video on YouTube if
you want to do so, but just make sure that you are doing so safely.
