Visit www.youtube.com and sign in to your account, or sign up for a new one if you have not got one already. It’s quick and simple to do!

Once you are signed in, click the upload button in the top right corner of the page and go through the steps to set up your channel.

You’ll come to an upload page with a drop down box to choose the visibility of your content. Choose either Public or Unlisted – NOT private. If you do that only people you invite will be able to see it and we won’t be able to include it on your Pitch to Rich page… not good!

Click on the button above the heading, select the files you want to upload and you’re done.

You will then come through to a page processing your video which gives you the option to change the title of the video, add a description etc. Filling out this information is optional and not necessary for your Pitch to Rich campaign page, but we do recommend you do it.

Once you click done, your video will keep being processed until it is finished (should only take a few minutes!) Once it has, you will be given your YouTube link for you to copy. Keep it somewhere you won’t forget it – you will need it later!

Then head over to www.pitchtorich.co.uk and click on the Take Part tab on the navigation bar at the top of the landing page.

You will then come to a Register to pitch form asking for your Full name, Email address and two tick boxes stating you are not a robot and agree to the terms.

The next page is “Pitch Builder”. You can add images to go with your campaign page, give us some information about your business and tell people what your vision is. And of course upload your video!

Almost there. Paste the URL of your YouTube video into the relevant field, complete the rest of the questions and then click the Pitch to Rich button at the bottom of the page to submit your pitch.

You’ll get a Thank You message asking you to verify your email address so that the Pitch to Rich team can notify you once your pitch has been approved and gone live.

Now start spreading the news! Share your campaign on social media and canvass for votes on your pitch.

Check out our “How to run a great social campaign” guide to get some tips on raising awareness through your social channels.

So that’s the first part done. Your pitch is submitted and now you need to start spreading the word.

Tell everyone you know.

Everyone at Virgin Media Business wishes you the very best of luck.

We’d love to help you #VOOM.
