Vidme$Tip:$Use$Hashtags

@claytonjay101

Use'hashtags'when'wriJng'a'video’s'descripJon.'

By'hashtag,'I'mean'#'then'a'word'or'some'

combinaJon'of'words'relevant'to'your'video.'

For'example,'on'each'of'my'videos,'I'have'the'

hashtag'“#DigitalMarkeJng”.'This'way,'anyone'

Vidme$Tip:$Use$Hashtags

Vidme'has'limited'aIenJon'compared'to'Facebook,'YouTube'or'

Instagram.'However,'since'it'takes'barely'any'extra'Jme,'it’s'worth'it'

for'extra'exposure.'

There'are'300'hours'of'video'uploaded'to'YouTube'every'minute.'Even'

though'there'are'a'lot'less'people,'it’s'much'easier'to'get'discovered'on'

Vidme'than'YouTube.'

If'Vidme'does'get'to'the'scale'of'larger'social'networks,'you'already'

have'an'established'presence'that'gives'you'an'advantage'over'any'

compeJtor'that'comes'there'amer'you.'Similar'to'what'I'wrote'about'
