Audio podcasts can be thought of as the modern equivalent of the talk shows that populated the airwaves of terrestrial radio. Only this time, it’s become more of a pre-recorded audio file stashed online, and delivered to listeners through some form of subscription. Not only will this prove to be a good form of content you can offer, but it will definitely be a great social media tool for engaging with your targeted demographic, getting them involved, and keeping them immersed in your brand’s ecosystem.

Video blogging is a growing trend and close cousin to traditional blogging, which incorporates engaging video communication instead of static text content. These “vlogs” let visitors see and experience their favorite bloggers through multimedia—they come across more personal and build added trust, and often allow users to interact by leaving video ratings, comments, or even video replies.

Who’s Using Video?

More and more successful websites are quickly incorporating video. You’ll notice the prominence of video content on the big news websites that used to have all static content—sites like CNN, Fox, and Huffington Post, for example—now video media makes up a huge percentage of their content. And the use of video is growing. Since it’s creation in 2005, video-sharing site YouTube has become the fourth-most-visited website globally. The network has over 70,000 uploads each day, which include news clips, comedy sketches, animations from talented artists, silly amateur humor, useful coaching videos, documentaries, clips from popular primetime TV shows and much, much more. There is no doubt about it, video is hot.
