30 WordPress Video Themes Designs for Inspiration
Did you know? YouTube is one of the most visited websites on the Internet and if you have an online business and you have not yet made some videos for yourself then you are losing on a great source of traffic. Many people prefer to watch videos over reading text material because reading requires a greater mental effort than watching. Reading requires complete silence and concentration while you can watch a video even when the atmosphere is less disciplined.
The Economic Times reported that when the tsunami hit Japan in 2011, the videos that showed the disaster related images on YouTube were viewed more than 96 million times in a small period of one week!
WordPress is the king of blogging platforms. Its easy to use interface and thousands of themes make it the first choice amongst bloggers. For a good impact website you should combine videos with WordPress. That will be both pleasing and powerful for your business.
