Where and how do I upload my video?

First, make sure to add the Startup Grind bumpers at the beginning and end.  Add nothing else - no sponsor logos, etc. Then, upload the video to the Startup Grind Local YouTube account 

To access YouTube - please email ford@startupgrind.com and ask to be given access to the official Startup Grind Local YouTube Account.

Once a CM gives you access to the account you will receive an email from Google Business that will take you to the YouTube Local Account.

Important note: The Startup Grind Local channel is not your chapter specific channel, it is for all of our global chapters. Thus do not edit/delete anything in the channel. Your job is to simply upload your videos, write description of your video, do the necessary tagging and if a playlist is not available for your chapter, create it.

Please add the video to your chapters playlist (use search to find it) - if not there, please create a playlist for your chapter.

Follow these guidelines to properly note your video:

  • Titling, Tagging, and Description: Titling, tagging and writing a good description for your videos is essential for a number of reasons. It helps with content discovery, SEO, and ultimately should tell people a bit about WHY they should be watching our content. By including a brief description of the main focus of your interview, people can browse for applicable subject matter and content. Remember; titles are essential for SEO and Discovery; so try and include keywords in them. Please follow the below guidelines, so we can maintain a uniform standard across our chapters:
    • Title: Speaker Name (Company) -­ Content Headline 
    • Title Example: Derek Andersen (Startup Grind) -­ Building and Scaling a Global Network
  • Event Description: Briefly introduce your Chapter, the guest, and a short discussion of the content. Encourage people to subscribe for more great content. After that, please include the standard description of Startup Grind, which is listed below: 

    Event Description Example: Startup Grind Jupiter presents Kloato, President of the Kleeborp Nation. Kloato discusses the challenges of a biodiverse society, interstellar office politics, securing funding in a nuetronium based economy, and his plan to annihilate Earth and take our resources.
  • Standard Startup Grind description (goes below video description):
