Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (CRWE)
When people think of online content marketing, typically the first things that come to mind are articles, blog posts, and email newsletters. However, there is another form of content marketing that can very powerful if executed properly, and that is video marketing. YouTube is the second largest search engine, after Google. People are watching videos, whether they are made by professionals or amateurs. Videos can attract a different audience, one that might not want to take the time to read a white paper or an article. Video marketing certainly isn't just for B2C businesses. All of this is great material that can be edited down to short two to five minute segments that people can watch at their leisure, since they are more likely to watch one five minute video a day than spend an hour watching one. The point is, video provides a great opportunity for marketers to take advantage of, and as long as you are incorporating video marketing into your strategy you should keep SEO in mind.
