Blogging Tips: Why Bloggers Should be Using YouTube #learntoblog
This week on our #LearnToBlog Series we were scheduled to discuss Google+, but our expert had a family emergency and we are postponing that until next Tuesday. This week we decided to tackle YouTube.
How often do you use YouTube as a blogger? Have you made any videos and placed them on your site? Did you know that Google and YouTube are the two most searched engines for information?
Kelli, from 3 Boys and a Dog, and I have been sharing tips with you guys for 5 weeks now that teach you how to blog. We both have been blogging for a while and know how difficult it can be to find someone who is willing to share blogging secrets and knowledge with you. We are here to help you!
Andrea Green is a blogger who focuses on organic deals, green steals and real food meals (love that!). She has become very efficient in YouTube and has learned so much over the last few years by trial and error and lots of research.
