What is video marketing?
Video marketing is a marketing activity where you rely on a video to create engagement and sell a product or service.
The great thing about videos is that you can use them across various platforms such as blogs and social media.
It is a great alternative to traditional content writing as it allows businesses to create a more dynamic story.
How long should the ideal video be?
For maximum engagement, a video should be 2-5 minutes long.
How do you structure an engaging video?
