You need to use videos on social media sites.

Here’s why:

It’s true! Social media sites like Instagram and Facebook give advantages to videos since videos take longer to view.

Therefore, videos keep people on the site longer improving the site’s bounce rate.

Why Should You Vlog?

Vlogging is defined as making short videos for a blog. Vlogging is also known as video blogging.

To put it plainly, a video blog is a blog that utilizes video as its essential media source, as opposed to just content or sound.

Videos are engaging. This is an extraordinary method that keeps individuals returning to your site.

Video production also boosts your brand since your videos show you as an authority.

Next, you can make money by making videos. For example, making your very own blog videos is an incredible method to exhibit your self-start venture opportunity.

In addition, making a blog video can be fun. I have fun choosing the music, the graphics, and the fonts.

Also, these sorts of videos have incredible potential for circulating around the web. In other words, your video could go viral.

Making a video is cost-effective. As time passes, video blog creation tools are getting more affordable and simpler to utilize.

What’s more, since they are typically less formal, bloggers like to keep them on their blogs. I actually greet visitors to my blog with a video at the top of my About Me page.
