YouTube changed the Internet world when it was founded in 2005. Since that time, this powerful online tool has been used by countless businesses and individual users for purposes ranging from news broadcasts to product descriptions to personal online video journals. As one of the most flexible and universal online sites, YouTube is a perfect affiliate marketing company for businesses large and small.
Why YouTube is an Excellent Affiliate Marketing Tool
Using YouTube is simple: just upload your videos and establish privacy settings. Use links to embed or share videos, promote products and send information around the world. It is this simplicity and ease of use that makes YouTube such a powerful tool for companies that market their products and services online.
- Ubiquitous. YouTube is used everywhere. It has over 1 billion users; that's almost a third of all the people on the Internet.
- Flexible. YouTube links allow users to place videos anywhere on their website or blog. The simplicity of YouTube's coding allows users to view video even if their browsers are out of date, which means that YouTube can be used to reach a very wide audience indeed.
- Long-lasting. YouTube isn't going away any time in the near future. In fact, the YouTube's daily viewership worldwide may soon pass the number of daily hours people spend watching television in the U.S. Although YouTube has only been around for the last 12 years, that's a long time on the Internet. With that kind of momentum, YouTube makes a good bet for businesses seeking to invest in an enduring marketing tool.
