Importance of video marketing
Vlogging, or video blogging, is one of the most engaging forms of communication for your leads and potential clients. In the technology world that we live in, online videos are available to the masses in multitudes of ways. First it was through computers, then it quickly migrated to mobile online video viewing through smartphones and tablets.
The amount of people that view videos online is remarkable. Just check out this infographic posted below from blog.muvee.com. Over 100 million people watch videos on the internet today. Over 100 million! That’s a lot of people. But if you think about it, it’s really not too surprising.
The average person of the 21st century is almost always connected to the internet. With such ease as being able to access the internet from their phones or tablets, it’s no big shock to know that so many people are watching online videos.
Already blogging on your own website to attract leads and potential clients? Great! It’s now time to take it another step further by creating your own vlog, which you can easily post to a plethora of video sharing websites such as YouTube and Vimeo.
