Once you have built the trust of the audience, you can expect a rise in sales. Those audiences can turn into your customers. Companies often give products to YouTube bloggers to review—a platform to showcase your product, demonstrate how to use it and show how effective the product is. You can do the same.
3. Videos are Google’s best friend
According to Moovly statistics, your chance of showing up first on Google’s search is 53 times higher if you have a video embedded on your website. Put a video on your website and let Google—the most used search engine in the world—do the rest.
