You will get a lot more traction with your videos if you've put a little effort into making them look nice. Keep the following tips in mind when shooting and editing your video: YouTube videos should have an introduction, especially if they are part of a series, but the intro should be no longer than 10 seconds. You should add a little content first it to catch the attention. The intro should identify you and your channel, as well as the content of the video. Use transitions to good effect. Transitions help move the viewer from scene to scene or to a new topic. A transition helps the viewer follow along as they watch. Remove unnecessary scenes and mistakes. YouTube isn't live, so you should take the time to remove mistakes and reshoot anything that didn't turn out how you wanted it. Avoid "uhs" and "ummms". Practicing a script will go along way towards making a good video. When you've finished shooting and editing your video, you'll want to encode it properly so that you don't lose any quality when the video is uploaded. There are a variety of programs that can do this, such as Sony Vegas, Avidemux, and Windows Movie Maker. Videos should be in MP4 format using the H.264 codec for maximum compatibility and highest-quality compression Click the Upload button in the upper-right corner of the YouTube page. Make sure that you are signed in with the correct channel when you upload your video. When uploading a video for everyone to see, make sure that the video is set to Public sharing, so that it can be searched for and found by YouTube visitors. The uploading and conversion process can take a significant amount of time, especially if you have a slow connection. You can record directly from your webcam instead of uploading a video, but it is recommended that you record your webcam video in another program that gives you more editing options. Every video needs at least a basic description. It should inform the viewer what the general gist of the video is, and how it might relate to them. The description appears next to the video thumbnail when the video shows up in search results. Avoid copying the title of the video into the Description field. Spend a few minutes coming up with a unique description. Tags are single words or short phrases that help to categorize your video. This will help your video appear as a related video when someone is watching a different video. Make sure that your tags are accurate, so that you are drawing in the correct audience. All of your videos should have at least three tags, if not more. Make sure to tag your video with your own personal brand. This will help your videos appear when your name or brand is searched through Google or YouTube. Look at other videos in the same category as you and see how they are using tags. Choose tags that are closely related to your video. Don't forget synonyms. Once your video is uploaded, tagged, described, and annotated, it's ready to share with the world. You'll gather some viewers simply through search results, but it can help to advertise your video else. Link to it in your blog, post a link on Facebook or Google+, and let your Twitter followers know that a new video is available. The more eyes that you can reach, the more likely that your video will increase in popularity. If you meet certain criteria, you may be eligible to earn money off the views your video gets. This may entail placing an ad at the beginning of your video, and will require creating an AdSense account. A good channel gets updated on a regular basis.

Check out the release schedules for a few of the more popular channels in your niche. This will give you a good idea about how often you should be updating.

Summary: Shoot and edit your video. Encode your video for YouTube. Upload the video to your channel. Add a description. Add tags. Share your video. Monetize your videos with ads. Upload often.

Look for crop tops with arty, structured elements that aren't too tight on your skin. Front ties, collars, and sweeping fabric will flatter your figure while maintaining a workplace-appropriate look. High-waisted bottoms are a must for this look, since you don't want to have skin exposed in a professional environment. Go for a solid colored pencil skirt or pants in a tapered leg or wide-cut style. For an added fashionable flair or for colder weather, throw on a matching blazer or long coat. This quick and practical addition can easily make the look more office appropriate. Crop tops naturally look a bit casual, so use your footwear and accessories to keep the outfit classy. Heels are the best option, but a nice pair of pointed-toe flats can also dress this look up. Go for a simple necklace and stud earrings to add a bit of sparkle.

Summary: Choose a longer, structured crop top. Pair your crop top with high-waisted trousers or a skirt. Wear a blazer or long coat to cover up. Step up the look with heels and simple jewelry.

Since it can be difficult to find investors, many small business owners look to close friends and family to raise at least their initial seed money. It's easier to find investors if you've gotten your business off the ground than it is if you've only got an idea. If you have a friend or family member who is interested in any significant investment, treat it as a business transaction not a gift. Put it in writing with a legal contract or investment agreement. Any social media accounts you have can be used to help you find investors. Set up business-specific pages and accounts, and encourage friends and family to connect to them and share them on their networks. Use posts not only to talk about your idea but also demonstrate the need for the product or service you want to offer. Include news and information about the neighborhood where you want your business to be located. Encourage your friends and followers to share posts about your business and help you spread the word. When you set up dedicated social media accounts for your business, help spread the word by giving people who a reason to follow along. Contests and exclusive discounts will get more people on board. For example, if you're planning to open a coffee shop, you might offer a free cup of coffee to the first 20 people who like and share a post. Many products and services lend themselves well to crowdfunding through a website such as Kickstarter or GoFundMe. Unique rewards at different levels of sponsorship can help attract micro-investors who are interested in supporting the next great idea. Crowdfunding also helps market your product or service. If you fund your project through contributions from 100 people, those are 100 people who are interested in your idea and want to see it succeed. Each of those 100 people will potentially tell their friends about your product or service.
Summary: Talk to friends and family. Drum up interest on social media. Provide incentives for likes or follows. Try crowdfunding sites.
