Video Marketing Changes in 2021

The news of YouTube canceling the customary ‘rewind’ video this year invoked mixed reactions. Given what everyone has gone through, this was the right thing to do. The year is almost over, and it’s time to start thinking about making the future a better place for everyone. The pandemic lockdowns were manageable by YouTube, which allowed businesses to entertain and engage their target audience.

In 2021, video marketing will be different from previous years. To succeed with your video marketing strategy, you must have a strong foundation built with credible statistics. Here are some of the most important YouTube statistics that will play a significant role in your video marketing campaigns in 2021 and beyond.

Statistics on YouTube Users, Usage, and Preferences

By far, the most extensive storehouse of video content is YouTube. Unlike other social media networks, which claim to have millions of users, YouTube has billions. A remarkable amount of internet video content is uploaded every day on YouTube. 

1. According to the most recent YouTube data, the video site has more than 2 billion active viewers per month.

Understanding the demographics of the target audience is critical for personalizing video material for them. Learning to speak in the style and tone that your target audience prefers and incorporating your unique offering from the start can help you attract more viewers and boost engagement.

Why and how should you run a YouTube ad for your business?

YouTube is growing, and the statistics show how powerful it’s becoming. It also allows you to target ads on specific channels and content in addition to targeting users. With a bit of research, you can place your advertising on popular videos that will be seen by a relevant audience.

Until recently, YouTube was the most difficult strategy to implement because there was no straightforward way to gather relevant and monetized videos without going through the time-consuming process of manually identifying them one at a time.

You need a system that can help you save time by extracting long lists of highly relevant and popular YouTube videos with monetization enabled and then showing your ads on all of those videos in minutes. Tubesift can help you with that!
