How to Make a Facebook Page for Your YouTube Channel

Creating a Facebook page for your YouTube channel gives your videos more exposure.

Facebook, with its network of over 800 million users, can be used as a tool to advertise your YouTube page and gain an audience for your videos. Create a page for your YouTube channel to allow your video's fans to "Like" your page and receive updates from you on their Facebook wall. Post a link to your latest video, which will embed the video on your Facebook wall, to give it even more exposure. Making a page for your channel takes less than 10 minutes to do.
