You Tube does not (yet) have a Real Estate “channel”, so most Real Estate listings are posted in People & Blogs How to & Style Travel & Events I’m not sure it really matters as when someone searches for something, they don’t usually go to a “channel”. A typical search if one were looking might be: “ House for Sale, Wayne, New Jersey” (search results come from the tags you put in when creating your You Tube video posting).

Note to viewers This presentation was not meant to be a complete guide “how to upload videos to You Tube” but as a “homework first intro” sent to one of my agents asking for a “POWER HOUR” training session on the same topic. I like to give some “check it out first” information before my training session.
