YouTube is very similar to blogging except for the fact it's all about VIDEOS.

One interesting fact about Videos is that they are made with the help of scripts and you can use your blogs as your scripts too.

Videos are more engaging and have the most retention power. In fact, some people only tend to watch videos and not read. You could choose to include explainer videos, vlogs, tutorials, video testimonials, product reviews, live streams, and even video ads.

Today it is all about VIDEOS. 93% of marketers say they’ve landed a new customer because of a video on social media. Youtube has 2+ billion users which is almost 1/3 of the internet population. (The Power Of YouTube - Second Biggest Search Engine on the Internet.)
