All About Using Social Media To Market Your Celebrity In this article we're going to talk about making use of YouTube for Celebrity Marketing. Video is where your celebrity desires to be anyway, so why not make it a part of the marketing campaign that will make them a household name, if they are not already? You should bear in mind that there are many different types of media: text, audio and video. Whilst the text is great and audio is better, video is where you can really grab the attention of others. If you’ve looked at the news over the last couple of years, you have noticed that more news stations have been including videos in their news and on their web sites. Video is engaging, interactive and it helps to bring even more popularity and making that celebrity famous. Just as with everything else you want to do on the Web, it is a good idea to check to see what the market already has in it. For example, if everybody is talking about coffee in the celebrity world, it might be a good idea to become a part of that convo. Or you could make the conscious decision to not be in that discussion, as you want to create something unique; it is up to you. In the starting, though, you could go to YouTube and begin to search by keywords you have already associated with your celebrity. This may be the name of the ‘actress’ or ‘indie star’ or whatever other words you want people to associate with your celebrity’s name. Check to see what other types of videos are popping up when you include this search. Also, search the name of your celebrity so you can see what is being said and how you might need to handle those situations - if at all.


Once you get an idea of what individuals want to see when they look up the keywords you have chosen, then you can begin to make a list of ideas for videos and manage these social media for celebrities. Or you might want to have your celebrity create a list of their favorite movies and videos, which they can then promote on YouTube so as to continue the establishment of their personality online. Sharing videos is similar to sharing status updates and other ideas online, just like you might with Twitter or Facebook. Have a list, with your celebrity’s help, if the sorts of videos you may post and then start to create scripts to create these videos. YouTube combines several different media in one and because of this it is a very powerful tool. Your celebrity will definitely appreciate any video promotion they can get.
