Shared Topics

• 

Organize and create videos with other producers that are related, complementary, or supplemental.

Focus both sets of content on the same tent-pole event or create complementary videos that have similar
tones, subjects, or perspectives.

• 

Make the viewer aware of all channels involved in the cross-promotion through playlists, annotations,

mentions, video descriptions, and links.

• 

Consider linking multiple videos in a ‘chain’ that completes a circle. (i.e. producer A ends his or her video

with a teaser or recommendation to check out producer B’s video, which in turn links to producer C, and
so on back to A.) No matter where a viewer begins, all videos in the loop are in a position to gain new
viewers and potential subscribers.
