Online-Video Receives Joy of Home-Shopping

ByNalts

Watch out television. The joyous home-shopping experience can be now experienced via the comfort of online video. The New York Times reports that Joyus is satisfying that raging unmet need:

Unlike other e-commerce sites that use video to advertise products, Joyus uses video to sell the products, and cites comScore statistics showing that shoppers who view videos are more likely to make a purchase. Joyus and the brands it showcases share sales revenue.

I Would Appreciate It if 90% of You Would Shut Up and Listen

Writes Author Charles Arthur (say that 5 times fast): It’s a…

Why YouTube Subscribers Don’t Matter

ByNalts

In general, YouTube creators (and viewers) are a bit obsessed with sheer numbers of subscribers. It’s fool’s gold, friends. While early views are often predicated on developing a subscriber base, as a creator’s presence on YouTube matures, subscribers simply don’t matter nearly as much as people think. What matters is quality not quantity. I’d trade…
