How do you post a video on YouTube that doesn’t bore the pants off residents? Follow these simple rules – starting with WIIFM (22 Oct 10)

YouTube will soon overtake Google as the place to go and find things out - so you really should find out what works

To help prepare, we did an Internet search to see what people are doing.

There are four very simple things to remember – but first check out these videos quickly.

Good advice as always, personally I'm tired of seeing professional videos which are from an organisation's point of view and full of jargon. The best adverts are short, sharp and memorable - our videos should be too!

Why not join the discussion!

Or even better still offer your own advice and tell us about things that others can learn from.

We moderate comments lightly so bear with us and we'll get your thoughts listed as soon as we can.
