Most of us have watched at least one video (likely more) at some point today -- whether it's for educational or entertainment purposes. After all, who has time and energy to scroll through a whole text-heavy paragraph to get to the juicy bits of information?
The stats say that at least 55% of internet users watch online videos every day. And let's not forget that over
1 billion hours of YouTube videos are watched every single day. From here, we know that internet users are hooked on online video content.
Guess who else loves video content other than internet users? It's Google! Yes, Google loves video content more than your 2,500-word articles. All of this because internet users are demanding more video content, and Google is responding.

Looks like an interesting and proven addition to think through viral marketing ideas for your business.
The stats report that social video generates 1200% more shares than text and image content combined. The more your video gets shared, the higher your chance to reach more and more potential customers.
