- Almost every individual uses a smart phone today and these phones act as great platform for popularizing videos. With the increase in the number of smart phone users, the popularity of the videos is also increasing rapidly.
- If you can arrange for the transcription of the contents of the video into other popularly spoken languages, the users will find it easier to relate and will help you reach customers of different backgrounds and from different parts of the world.
- The same video can be uploaded in various sites and social media platforms unlike content which varies from one page to another and one social networking site to another. So, you are saved from the trouble of creating more than one video by spending a whole lot money and effort each time.
