Want your YouTube videos to be viewed off of YouTube?

You will have seen that social media platforms are adding links to Corona information for posts which "talk about" Covid-19: YouTube has been adding this Covi-19 chin.

One consequence, which might not be obvious, is that videos such as this will not play in the embedded player. People will need to click through to watch on YouTube, where the chin is visible.

So, unless your video is really about Covid-19 do not mention Covid or Corona in your video titles or descriptions. As doing so removes the external opportunity to see.

Social Profiles - Information Density

In my recent blog post "You are crap at social media ... and it shows" there is a section where I suggest looking to see how "information dense" a users social profiles are. So here is an example of how I have packed Twitter's relatively restrictive profile section with as much relevant information motion as possible.

My current social project, which these three profiles are involved with is "MyStadtKรถln" so I have included the community hashtag.
I've also written up an article in English to try to encourage other community members who are engaging around the hashtag (so far daily on Instagram) to show their community support by also adopting the tag in their social profiles.

Does this example help illustrate profile information density?

STRATEGY

The most overused and least understood word in the digital space.

I discovered this agency while walking around @MyBelgischesViertel which I am launching today.

I looked up their website and discovered their Twitter handle, which is pretty new and was not visible enough for me to have previously found for inclusion on the list of Cologne agencies I have built for @EnglishCologne

I'll say hello on Twitter, see if they respond. See if they follow the list maybe, or if they are just crap at social media.

Anyone managing a brand on social should take a look at Telegram's tweets and replies tab on Twitter.

Sure your client may not allow the freedom to craft a brand voice quite as well rounded, but there is plenty there to see and gain insight from.
