Sometimes the best way to demonstrate or promote a business service is to do it by video.
This can then be shared with customers and prospective customers via online platforms.
Depending on what your business does, or the message it wants promote, one way to do this is using YouTube.
This article How To Create A Business YouTube Channel takes “… an in-depth look at all the steps involved with how to create a YouTube channel for your business”.
But first, consider what the story is that you want to tell.
