Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to focus on knowledge sharing by posting video clips in YouTube and its effectiveness. YouTube was chosen as the knowledge transfer channel as it is a popular social media network that enables free interactions among registered users about the particular video clip available. Different video contents were manipulatively created, uploaded and their popularity was tested on YouTube. Video counts are based on YouTube statistics. Using real examples collected on YouTube, several factors were identified as the reasons for the popularity of the video clips; i.e., topic selected, keywords used and urgency of the topic. This paper helps people to develop their video clips on YouTube and to create successful video marketing campaigns on YouTube.
