Video plays a pivotal role in building up an audience online. It helps you connect with the customers and keep them abreast of your product and service offers.

YouTube is the best platform to publish videos online. Forbes contributor Jayson DeMers has shared seven important reasons why you should start an YouTube channel now.

DeMers says, “There are many possible motivations here, but these are seven of the most important to consider:

  1. New content formats. By 2021, it’s estimated that 82 percent of all internet traffic will be for video. And if you think that sounds unrealistic, consider that it accounted for 73 percent of traffic in 2016. If you’re interested in content marketing, you’re going to have to consider more formats than just text-based content. Starting a YouTube channel gives you a powerful medium to produce and distribute video content, which is only going to become more important from here.
  2. Audience size. You’ll also be engaged with a massive audience. There are more than 1.57 billion monthly active YouTube usersaround the world, with 30 million daily active users. Of course, that’s no guarantee that your first video is going to reach 1.57 billion people, but even a fraction of a percent of YouTube’s user base could give you an enormous amount of visibility. Added with your other social channels, YouTube could easily multiply your exposure”.
