BOREDOM – YOUTUBE GETS MORE THAN 1 BILLION UNIQUE VISITORS PER MONTH (AND GROWING)
WHY INVESTING IN VIDEO CONTENT IS SO IMPORTANT
§ Quality video content can balance information and entertainment - it allows brands to blur the lines between creating an experience and selling a ‘product’
§ Online videos can be shared to other social media platforms such as Facebook, twitter, blogs
§ Video blurs the lines of time
WHY CONTENT SHOULD LIVE ON YOUTUBE § YouTube is the second biggest search engine, after Google
§ 4th most popular website in South Africa
§ Allows us to target segmented audiences and track the people who watch your content
§ YouTube is localised in 61 countries and across 61 languages
WHY CONTENT SHOULD LIVE ON YOUTUBE § 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute
§ Over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube — that‘s almost an hour for every person on earth, and 50% more than last year
§ Millions of subscriptions happen each day — the number of people subscribing daily is up more than 3x since last year, and the number of daily subscriptions is up more than 4x since last year
