Video Marketing: How To Create a YouTube Channel
The world is a very visual place. According to the saying, a picture “says a thousand words” so just imagine how much more potential a video would have as it combines both pictures and sound. Video is very effective as it helps you convey complex information in a simple way thus it would be unwise not to include video in your marketing activities.
Video marketing simply means incorporating videos into your marketing campaign in order to promote your business, product or service. People want information and want it fast so they would much rather watch a 2-3 minutes video than read 15-20 minutes of text. Videos have become cheaper than ever to implement and easy to distribute thanks to video sharing websites like YouTube. YouTube allows you to upload videos that can be shared through a channel once you become a YouTube member.
