How To: Create & Share Custom YouTube Playlists

Creating a YouTube Playlist could probably best be described as being the modern equivalent to creating a mix-tape. Essentially, YouTube allows you to compile all of your favorite videos via your “My Channel” section of your account and share that custom playlist via social media or e-mail. It’s a dead simple process that only takes a minute to learn and is a great way to send yourself or loved-ones an audio book playlist, a digital audio & video mix-tape or even send your awesome(but crazy) cat lady aunt the best cat videos this side of the web-o-sphere!
