Images Are The Future • A picture is worth a thousand words • Which makes a video priceless for your business • All social media channels are moving toward images. • They increase the engagement rate, get more shares and generally make things more interesting!
Images, Images Everywhere! • Users are more likely to engage with brands if there are great images than any other medium • Pinterest is now the 4th largest driver of traffic worldwide • Picmonkey averages 1.6 million visits/day with 4.3 million pics edited daily in just 8 months! (ok, I was just looking for an excuse to say Picmonkey!!!)
Image Posts Vs Text Posts • Hubspot did a study of nearly 9000 Facebook posts. Here’s what they found: • Facebook posts with images get 53% more likes than non-image related posts • Photo posts attracted 104% more comments than average • Photo posts received 84% more link clicks than text only posts
YouTube • Owned by Google • Second most searched search engine in the country. Guesses on the first? • 4 BILLION videos viewed DAILY • 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute • According to Nielsen, YouTube reaches more US adults ages 18-34 than any cable network
Videos & SEO • Provides a strong backlink to your website • Do some keyword research and select a few keyword phrases to focus on • The formula is: • Use the keyword phrase in your title • Write a description with the phrase in it • End with a link to your website • For extra bang, write a keyword rich transcript. That gets crawled by Google
