Brands please do not sleep on YouTube streaming. Less than 24 hours ago, Vogue's Youtube channel (14.4 Million Subscribers) garnered over 8+ Million views. I was one of those viewers and might I say it was coordinated so well! I loved the double hosting (Lala Anthony and Ashley Graham & Gwendoline Christie) and Emma Chamberlain for Youtube as well. Not to mention the split screens debuting the carpet looks while simultaneously showing interviews. I would love to see more brands utilize YouTube channels for their community engagement. #Youtubelivestreaming #Youtube #Streamingplatform #Streaming #Contentcreation #content #Youtubechannel

Let this sink in after you make another excuse for not creating more content 🤯 Netflix, the global juggernaut of streaming, revealed numbers recently that 20% of its content has relatively no viewers. Think about that. Not everything you create should land. Flops help us learn so our next one’s better. You're also going to create really good stuff that people just aren't interested in... It’s the way it is. PLEASE: Do more. If you want to grow, make the commitment. If you need help hire help. #smartmarketing #cfp #financialmarketing #financialplanning

The rise of streaming platforms means that we have access to more TV shows and movies than ever before. But this abundance of choice can make it almost impossible to decide what to watch 🍿 According to IMDB, the average Netflix user spends 18 minutes scrolling before they make a selection – double the amount of time that those with cable TV spend choosing a show. So, getting somebody to pick a specific TV show or film from a list of over 7,500 on Netflix is a huge challenge. That’s why “log lines” – a brief summary of the content explaining the key characters and central conflict – are so crucial. The log line is the “hook” that encourages you to pick a certain show or film over everything else 📺 You might benefit from using a hook like this in your content writing as you’re constantly competing with thousands of other webpages. Research reported by Hubspot found that the average amount of time somebody stays on a webpage is 54 seconds. A strong “narrative hook” – an opening that catches the attention of the reader – could help your audience invest in your argument so they continue reading instead of clicking off the page. Ben just used the technique to introduce this blog. If it worked, you may have passed the 54-second mark and want to know more. Read on through the link in the comments to learn how to create an engaging hook in your content writing 🪝

Are your streaming subscriptions eating up too much of your budget? Everyone wants to catch the latest series or the blockbuster movie of the moment. But how can you keep up without struggling with your budget? Here is a special hack for you. CHURNING subscriptions can be an effective hack for users looking to save on streaming services by being strategic. 💡 Here's how it works: you sign up to have the free trials and cancel them before you have to pay up, hop on promotional deals as they come and go, and subscribe only when your favorite shows are on, then cancel afterward. Users regularly compare the content on different platforms and choose to subscribe to only one at a time based on their current preferences. These are other hacks on how to save up your budget: 📉 Bundle Up See if you can bundle different services for a lower price. 👪 Share and Save Lots of streaming services have plans where you can share your account with family or friends. ⏭️ Skip the Extras You might find you’re just as happy without those pricey extra features. 💵 Budget Wisely Set a clear budget for how much you want to spend on streaming each month and stick to it. 📲 Stay Updated New services pop up all the time, and the prices and offers from existing ones can change.

"Showrunners create shows hoping that you will finish them; streaming services often just care about whether you start them." This is top-of-mind for me every day - obtaining and retaining viewers, in between deciding what should be a slow-roll out versus a full dump of content. Cycles change and so do trends but viewers want to be entertained with good content. Understanding the viewer in relation to the content being offered is more important than following the trend or competitor. #entrepreneur #streaming

📺 Words matter! Ever wonder what TV really means? It’s not just a device; it’s an experience! 🚀 Streaming isn’t TV—it’s a tech to distribute content. Netflix isn’t in the streaming biz; they’re all about content creation. But when Nielsen lumps a YouTube clip with a Netflix movie as “TV viewing,” the term loses meaning. 😅 We need clear definitions! Is your phone your TV? For many, yes. For me, TV means long-form, pro content. It’s all about viewer preference, and that’s cool. What’s not cool? Companies like Nielsen using vague terms to confuse us. Let’s start defining video content by type, length, and viewing time. Because, words matter! 📖✨ #MediaMatters #TVOrNotTV #ContentIsKing #LetsGetItStraight https://lnkd.in/d6mfKKKC

Nine of the 10 Most-Watched Streaming Programs Are Reruns: Despite investing billions in new streaming services, media giants have failed to dethrone old favorites, according to Nielsen data. The 21-year-old legal drama "NCIS" tops the list, with viewers streaming 11.4 million episodes per week. Netflix dominates the top 10, with eight shows owing most of their viewership to the platform. Reruns from CBS and other networks make up the majority of the list, with "Stranger Things" being the only original series. "Nine of the 10 most-watched streaming programs are reruns. In addition to the three from CBS, there is one from YouTube (CoComelon), one from Canada (Heartland), one from Australia (Bluey) and Suits. The only original series to crack the list is Stranger Things," Bloomberg writes. However: "While reruns dominate the top 10, that is not the case overall. Most of the 100 most popular titles of the last three years are original series," it added. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
