Why Online Video?

Video is so powerful because it showcases charisma and communication skills, allowing for transparency, which builds trust. Video is also powerful because it’s demonstrative, clearly depicting procedures, techniques or visual information such as charts and graphs. A web page is inferior because it can take a lot of text to explain a proceedure or concept where if you just show it in a video, it’s quick and easy, plus it is retained longer because it’s visual. Images stick better than words. Besides, it takes effort to read. Customers and prospects would much rather you spoon feed the information to them via multimedia.
