What You Must Remember When You Create Your YouTube Strategy
YouTube has become an increasingly competitive platform for both big and small businesses. According to statistics, over 700 YouTube videos are shared on Twitter every minute. This often makes it challenging for businesses to attract and retain user attention.
Data finds the ideal length of your video should be between 1 and 2 minutes. Shorter videos have a greater appeal and popularity among users.
It’s also worth noting that 70 percent of YouTube users use mobile devices. Keeping this in mind when you develop your YouTube strategy can prove useful.
