YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world with over 2 billion users and more than 500 hours of video uploaded every minute. Almost one-third of the population of earth access YouTube to find answers and pose questions to a community that feels connected and has what they need.
YouTube has a massive ecosystem:
- More content is uploaded to YouTube in 60 days than all three major US networks have generated in the last 60 years
- Six billion hours of video are watched monthly
- 17% of all internet traffic flows through YouTube
- 25% of views globally are from mobile devices
- Content is posted from 56 countries in 61 different languages
YouTube has almost unlimited opportunities for businesses and content marketers, but in truth, few businesses are actually investing in YouTube marketing.
Why?
Because it’s hard. It takes more time and it can be emotionally draining, but smart businesses know that the cost can be worth it.
