For years we have followed Youtube ‘How To’ videos and avoiding various service fees ranging from music, TV serials, technical lessons to cooking. Listing some of the saves you can realize by watching related videos on Youtube

Save money on music

There isn’t a song or a piece of musical number, that is publicly sold and not available on Youtube. Actually Youtube made CD buying a redundant expense. Before buying your next album, give Youtube a try. These days we all are on internet almost always, so you can view Youtube as your own private album. Create playlists and enjoy free music.

Think it honestly, why do you watch TV? Soap opera? the reality show? cooking show? news? Every thing is available on youtube. All major news corporation have their own Youtube channels. Food network, CNBC and Fox are on Youtube. Though I still pay my cable bill, but that’s only because SMB is still not convinced. And yes, you can watch Youtube on your big screen television too.

Save Money on Cooking classes and books

In last 5 years Youtube has accumulated so much cooking videos that is beyond imagination, if you don’t count ‘Marie’, next door’s cooking video, then also the total length of shows from established chefs is huge. There is absolutely no need to enroll for baking class or cake decorating class. It’s all explained step by step by 100’s of experts on Youtube, just waiting for your search..

Not every one is a software specialist, you must have faced problems with your computer/network or connections etc in past, and might still be facing. Numerous solutions are available on the net too, but when you see some one actually solving it in a video, it become so much easier to follow. I installed WordPress on my blog by seeing the video on Youtube. SMB had a virus attack on her laptop, Youtube told us how to fix the issue with simple-to-use steps.

Purchase a few tools and you can start saving big bucks on car repairs, oil change, filter clean up, tuning etc.

Various videos are available on Youtube that teaches details and intricacies of hair cutting. Yours, or your pet’s. You may ask your partner to cut your hair he/she can learn the process by watching a few good ‘How To’ videos.
