Why Embed A Youtube Video Into Your Website?
In a successful blog post or a high converting website page, the most important thing is content.
Content is what keeps the reader engaged with your website page or blog.
Sometimes you may have the best content and clear instructions on your web page but there still may be some parts that could miss in writing text and screenshots.
This is where videos come in handy. Not only do they provide clear and concise information, but also a good engagement with the viewer.
Something as simple as adding a youtube video to your website can be the striking difference between the user staying on your website or just moving away from it.
