Why aren't more businesses using YouTube, and what can you do about it?

Despite the fact that YouTube is the most viewed website on the planet and the second most visited website in the United States, just 9% of small companies in the United States use it to sell their goods and services. The main reason for this is that YouTube has a higher entry barrier than social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

You'll need a lot of time, effort, and resources to consistently make high-quality videos on YouTube, which is a prerequisite if you want to expand your brand on the platform. There's also a steeper learning curve and a greater price tag.

Thankfully, InVideo, which has been created to streamline the video editing process to help you churn out interesting video content fast and efficiently, helps reduce some of these concerns – namely the time, effort, and resources required to create a video. To produce customised YouTube videos for your brand, you can use a collection of 5,000 templates and over 8 million stock assets (videos, photos, and music). Even if you're a complete novice, the super-intuitive cloud-based editor allows you to edit videos from any system. The best part is that you can get started for free and upgrade to premium features for as little as $15 per month.
