Take a moment to see how others are making videos to help others and then either make your own video to raise awareness or participate in an existing effort. YouTube has great potential to benefit not only you, but others who may need your help!
Contest. There are always contests running on YouTube which are promotions conducted by individuals or businesses. These help generate interest in their sponsors as well as provide prizes for the winner. Sometimes the prizes are cash, such as the $45,000.00 in awards offered by NewNuma.

Playlists. One of the best ways to benefit from YouTube or other video services is to promote a good cause such as PEACE NOW. You can create a playlist of videos related to your favorite good cause, hobby or other activity or interest. For example, if you are a dog lover you can create a YT Dog Club. Or if you want to help teach others how to make better videos, start a playlist on Video Magic: How to make awesome videos. Or is you want to help promote your select group of friends or other video users you could start a playlist like WOW: Wonderful Online Women. The possibilities for playlist type promotions, clubs or membership groups are limitless.
Personal Goals. One of the greatest benefits of a service like YouTube is that you can set personal goals and then work toward those goals recording your daily progress.

Or your goal may be to raise money for something you want to buy or for a favorite charity. By making a vlog of your progress you are able to involve others in your work or action and hence this provides much positive feed back and can help motivate you and keep you on track. Some people have even made vlogs of their travels and journeys. So if you want a very good way to inspire yourself, set an goal, announce it to the world and start working to reach your goal today via vlogging.
Inspiration, Motivation and Influence. Watch these playlists and be inspired. Everyone may benefit from the inspiration of others.
