Video continues to dominate content marketing.

According to Cisco, IP video traffic will make up 82 percent of global consumer Internet traffic by 2021. More than half of marketers name video as the type of content with the highest ROI, and 84 percent of consumers report being convinced to make a purchase after watching a brand’s video.

Video marketing also plays a prominent role in SEO strategy. But many businesses still believe video content is too expensive. Truth is, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make an engaging video.
