Depends on your audience. As an ex-marketer for Apple and have grown multiple businesses I can say that not all audiences will be in YouTube. My primary audience are exclusively consuming information in the written form. The type to print articles so they can read on vacation (Wall Street journal, economist, MIT Technological review etc) These type do not want to watch a video of any type. I have 600 videos on YouTube using the help of VidIQ to establish keywords, tags, titles and descriptions etc. also had a videographer, editor, high end equipment so they are all professionally shot; but only have 700 subscribers with minimal lead generation. It has been a time and resource sink. My SEO has brought in 90% of our clients and establishing us as the professionals in the industry. This is how we get recognized for local awards and recognition as well.

80% developers and designers don't want to be on camera talking about work.

YouTube is massively saturated with irrelevant keywords and finding something in a legit search comes up with a whole lot of crap.

What about ecommerce? Who comes here to look for products, when they could go to the big A instead?

Wes, you loud and clear on video. However, I wonder if a distinction needs to be made between informational searches, versus transactional, or service based, Google searches, directed towards a local business or service area. Thoughts?

Right message, right time! Thank you!!! 🙏

In my case I won't be creating video content but I will be trying to get other content creators in my space to create video reviews of my service. You've solidified my plans to go in this direction and I'm not going to bend over backwards for SEO.

Very very well said Wes, as usual. I enjoy watching your videos as they are always serving up knowledge from a reputable, authentic person. Keep them coming, thank you!

I agree with you about the value of video. Definitely sky rockets the 'know, like and trust' factor.

I have a local charter fishing service. My how to fishing videos generate plenty of paid charters. It can be used in conjunction with a local business.

absolutely love you bro. This is crazy. Exactly what I needed to hear. the synchronicity is freaky. love man, thank you so much.

Great strategies. Now where do I start learning how ro implement, please?

Wes. Thank you. This is brilliant. Can’t believe you only have 11,000 views . That’s gonna change 🙏

I appreciate your take on this 👍🏻 I still think (hope) we are still not to the point where backlinks are out of the question but there is no doubt YouTube is the better search engine to target. Thanks Wes 👊🏻

Thank you for putting me on the path, I've toyed with this without much passion, but now I have the passion :)

You have shifted my paradigm again!! I was just about to launch my blog

Video editing on point!
