5 VIDEO creation TOOLS EVERY MARKETER SHOULD USE

TL;DR: In this post, we will look at 5 of the best video creation tools that will allow you to create amazing video content without any design skills, in a matter of minutes and without breaking the bank. 

Videos rule the roost when it comes to online marketing. Open any of your social media apps and you’ll notice that the feeds are dominated by video content. 

According to Google, 6 out of 10 people would rather watch online videos than television.

Hubspot says that today 81% of businesses use video as a marketing tool.

By 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic — 15 times higher than it was in 2017, Cisco predicts.

So, if you want to succeed online, you need to create more videos. 

However, traditionally video creation used to take a lot of time, energy, and money. Self recorded videos work, but a lot of us are not that comfortable facing the camera. Even if you manage to record a few clips you still have to go through the hassle of editing them.  

So, what’s the better way out?
