Tip #1

Maximize your exposure and reach
YouTube has over 1.3 billion users who watch 5 billion videos a day, and generate 3.25 billion hours of video watch-time per month. What does that mean for you? If you want to get eyes on your video and maximize your brand’s reach, YouTube is the best channel to do so.

Tip #2

Build an audience
By establishing a channel and creating a playlist of videos, you can start attracting a target audience for your videos. This is ideal for businesses, consultants or anyone looking to build a loyal following of viewers. Sure, it takes time, but YouTube’s algorithm is pretty darned good at identifying viewers who might be interested in your video content.

Tip #3

Get to the point quickly
It’s crucial to engage your viewer within the first three seconds of your video. Adding movement, interesting visuals and captions can help hook your viewer and get your message across quickly. Don’t forget to add your branding, which is easy with WeVideo’s templates.
