The Best Apple Apps For Creating Video Content

85% of Americans watch video content every single month. It is an extremely powerful marketing tool to attract followers to your website and social media pages. In fact, 54% of consumers said that they would happily see even more video content for the companies and brands that they follow.

Video content also helps to generate a profit – when surveyed, 88% of video marketers said that they were happy with their return on investment for the content they had uploaded online.

When you are creating your own video content, it is important to make sure that your videos are accessible to everybody.
