Number 2: ‘10 Reasons Why You Need To Put A Video On Your Homepage’
It’s no big surprise that visitors are interested in finding out more about using video on their websites. The rise in popularity of video is fuelled by the increasing reliance of smart mobile devices and on some sites a video automatically plays during the visit. According to the official Youtube stats, the number of people watching video on mobile has increased 100% year on year! Also, one hour of video is uploaded every second on Youtube. If video has not been on your agenda for your website – it is time to consider it – but quality is critical, as always, or why would anyone engage?
Number 1: ‘20 Tips For Optimising Youtube Videos’
See a pattern here in the results? Youtube is huge. The web service has over a billion users a month and a third of the users of the Internet. It is highly advisable to incorporate Youtube into your online strategy. Many people would rather watch videos than read reams of text and whilst marketers woke up to this fact in 2015, 2016 is the year where Youtube strategy needs to be part of the furniture of digital marketing rather than a novelty or an extra consideration.
