The Fan Audience Problem on YouTube

                              Messaging is limited
     Can only post 1000
                               to 1-to-1 plain text
     character plan text
                              messages. Good luck
      bulletins that fans
                               messaging EVERY
          might miss
                                       fan


      Email alerts for fans
                               New videos appear in
    arent customized and
                                 a fans feed when
    lump your content with
                              theyre uploadedand
     everything else a fan

What do you do?
                              Post on Facebook?

          Only 16% of fans will actually see your content in their feed

                                     Tweet?

   Only fans reading Twitter at the right time will see your tweet. Content gets
                                  lost in the feed

                              Share on Google+?

                   Smaller fan audiences than other networks

                                     Pin it?

   Still relies on time-sensitive feed and only reaching one audience segment



         So what should you use? Email.
                                                                                   3

  Fan list that                                   for driving
