A lot of people who create videos, will post it on YouTube and give it to them for free, because they realize that they will get a great amount of traffic directed to their video, and receive a number of clicks on a particular URL that they give. The question you should be asking yourself it should you post it on YouTube in the first place, and what should you notice if you do.
You can only post videos that are 10 minutes long, and there are studies that have shown that the videos that are the most popular only last for about 4 minutes. Just that reason alone, your webinar wont be able to go into to much detail of what you are talking about, and so posting it on YouTube wont actual help you sell what you need to.
YouTube and Webinars, don't gel all that well together. For starters webinars are generally a hour long secession, and just putting certain snippets of your webinar on YouTube isn't going to help the audience understand what it is that you are talking about.
If you do have clips that are 4 minutes long, that can hold its own you need to be wary of holding and sharing PowerPoints in the video presentation. For example if you are creating a webinar for writing articles in a very short time, and the video is split up by having a PowerPoint format on a step by step process, and the other half of you writing the articles. Then if it did only take you 4 minutes to actually write the article, then this clip would be something that is useful for YouTube.
However, PowerPoints that are on YouTube, tend to be banned very quickly because there are a lot of people that use this as spam, and for this reason they generally only allow people that are doing something that is live and actually showing people what to do, post videos.
So, if you are able to create a webinar that is a four minute clip then posting it on YouTube will be useful to you. You should be aware however, that getting to the point in just a few minutes can be a bit difficult to do, especially when you have a call to action at the end of the video. It is better for you to create videos that can be used for YouTube, rather than posting videos where you want the audience to do something after what you have just described to them.
In other words, posting videos on YouTube can have is advantages and disadvantages, and sometimes the disadvantages outweigh the advantage. For example, they only allow videos that are 10 minutes long to be posted; so from there it will be difficult to explain what the big picture is, which makes it a challenge to get that call to action following your presentation, when they are small video clips of your webinars.
