YouTube – Link to Google + or Not? (3 posts)

  • I am in the process of branding and setting up my social networks.
    What are you thoughts on linking my YouTube account to my Google + account?

    It’s tricky in a way…
    Google + is Nicole Steinberger.
    YouTube (just created first vid) is drnickisteinberger

    Trying to brand both my websites: Mountain River Stream | Fabulous Outdoor Gear Reviews & Intimate Adventures [w/ Dr. Nicki] and Eating For Energy as well as my name but prefer “dr. nicki”

    It’s hard to get them all the same.

    Anyhow, your knowledge and experience is appreciated.
    Dr. Nicki

  • @nicole-steinberger It really boils down to whether you want the easy access of having it connected to the same Google login. I have a personal YouTube linked to my main Google account, and my business YouTube that I should be using more often is on a separate account, so I have to go to another browser anytime I want to upload, favorite, comment, or even link third party apps to it. Highly annoying. 

  • I have a gmail account and I have gmail accounts for all of my clients social media platforms that require them.  If you click on the down arrow by your profile picture, you can add another gmail account. Another log-in window will open and you can add the gmail address of the account you want to use – ie time2mrkt@gmail.com.  Then when you want to switch between accounts on YouTube you can just by saying “Switch Accounts”.  This is a very useful tool I discovered a few months ago.
