  2. Videos: You cannot have all your content on your website. You can create a Youtube or Vimeo channel to give your video savvy personas a taste of your content. You can as well upload the video on the website and link it to Youtube or Vimeo depending on which platform you choose. Note that your videos must be of good quality in order to amass a lot of views.
