ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts. The highest paid Kenyan teacher earns almost 12 times more than the...

Tips On How You Get Started Marketing Using YouTube

Creating Successful Videos

The key to success is to keep the video short. Due to the limited attention span of visitors to websites, a long video has less possibilities of being viewed than a short one. So try to make your videos between 2 mins and 10 mins long.
Here are some easy ways you can create videos for your clients to upload to YouTube:
You can use free screen capture software such as Camstudio, to record activity on your screen
You can use a web cam to capture yourself
You can also use Animoto – which is a free online service that creates beautiful videos
You can also use Resell Rights Videos or Private Label Rights videos
You can post videos on YouTube, post comments on other people’s videos, and create multiple playlists for different audiences. You can also post regular updates on your channel – comments, video reviews, etc – with accompanying links to videos or play lists.

You can share YouTube videos to Facebook, Twitter, G+ and other sites by clicking “share” – or even start a Hangout directly from the YouTube platform:

Getting Views on YouTube

The more you share your video on different networks, the more views it will get. You can also share videos on social bookmarking sites, such as Reddit, StumbleUpon or Digg. Also consider using some of your videos as a response to popular videos you like or disagree with in your niche:

google10 

You can upload a new video to use as a response, or choose from ones already uploaded. You can only use a video as a response once; but you can change what video it is linked to. In other words, if you’ve had a video posted as a response in one place, you can still select it to use as a response for another video and YouTube will remove the response from the original posting and put your video as a response in the new location. This is a terrific way to get more views, since you basically piggyback off of the video you are responding to.

Here are some other ideas:
Interact with You Tube users, leave comments
Make videos on hot topics in your niche
Use Google Trends and Google Alerts to find what people are searching for, what are the hot topics in your niche
Be interesting!
Copy the titles and tags of popular videos -so you will appear when they show up
You can also use software to send out large numbers of subscriber and friends requests – Tube Toolbox
.

Best practices

You build your social networks on Google + and YouTube by participating in the platform. The more people you add to your Circles, the more will add you to theirs. The more channels you subscribe to on YouTube, the more people will subscribe to you.

Ongoing Management

You should monitor your Google + account several times a day if possible – your posting frequency should be between that of Twitter and Facebook. YouTube can be used several times a week or daily depending on time constraints. You can pull videos from your channel and post them on Google+ easily, providing simple cross promotion.
