Why it's Time to Move to YouTube

Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie | Social Media Management & Strategy

How are all my fellow Social Media Managers and Business Owners? What a crazy start to the year this has been. I mean, I don't usually rush to post an update when TikTok gets banned in the US, or there's ANOTHER algorithm change on instagram, or when TikTok gets reinstated, but it's hard to ignore what's been happening over the month of January in our industry alone! Usually I can just roll with the punches and take them in my stride, but this was even a lot for me guys.

Listen as I briefly un pack Social Media, but also do my best to convince you that YouTube is where you need to be. If you haven't already, also check out my YouTube video from last year on 2025 Social Media Trends & Predictions: what you need to know.

Some takeaways from this episode:

  • The rise of YouTube and longform content
  • YouTube's creator support and monetisation (something we actually get in NZ!)
  • The future of content creation

If any of my listeners found me via YouTube, I would love to know! Do you think I should make follow up episodes this year on YouTube?

If you have the time, please could you rate and review this podcast or subscribe to it. It really helps us to continue making this free content for you and we just generally appreciate that you would do this for us!

Have a great week guys!
