Many people believe that the more information they can jam into one video, the more they can share with clients. While longer videos do mean more content, it’s never a guarantee that the full video will be watched.

In fact, as stated by TubeMogul, a leading online video distributor, the attention span of your audience starts to decrease after the first ten seconds. About 50% of your audience is still tuned in at the one-minute mark. By the time you reach the fifth minute of your video, less than 10% of your audience is left.

So what does it all mean? According to Google, the average video is 3.7 minutes. We consider this the “sweet spot.” You must initially grab the attention of your clients if you want to keep them watching for longer than a few seconds. Give them your mission – clear and concise. Keep the video under 4 minutes to ensure a longer running time. The point of your video is to let clients know what you have to offer. Producing a video that is meaningful, as well as entertaining, can keep viewers engaged and leave a lasting impression.

There is no way around it – web video is VERY effective. As many sites have started to use videos to promote their own business, video has also taken off as a way to communicate advertisements and top news stories. According to the New York Times article entitled Online Ads are Booming, if They’re Attached to a Video, many large companies like CNN, ESPN, and the Wall Street Journal have placed videos on their homepages in order to hit visitors with important information without having to sift through paragraphs on different pages.

According to eMarketer, the growth of online advertising dollars used for video will increase 35 to 45 percent for each of the next five years. eMarketer also said that “video ads would be the “main channel” for major advertisers seeking to increase their online spending.”

Not only does video bring Internet users relevant, fast information, but has become the norm for online advertising. The various uses of online video reinforce its potential for growth and its appeal to businesses and clients alike. We are certain that online video will continue to expand and become even more useful to our every day lives.

Doctor, Can You See Me Now? – How Video Can Save Lives

Whether you’re in a major city or a small suburb, you have the ability to be analyzed by some of the best doctors in the country.

According to today’s Wall Street Journal article, Doctor, Can You See Me Now?, more hospitals are using video to invite specialists from all over the country into their patients’ rooms to better diagnose their ailments. This opportunity to connect patients with specific doctors is helping hospitals better examine symptoms and make quicker, more accurate decisions on the best type of treatment and medication for a patient. Thus, leaving very little room for error.

The video is also two-way, giving the patient a personal connection with the physician, even though they aren’t even in the same hospital. The art of “visual medicine” can help save lives across the country by immediately connecting a patient to the right doctor.
