4. You can create a YouTube channel

If people like your videos, there is a high probability that they would look at your website as well for further details. This will in turn increase your website’s traffic and possibly generate business for you. People can follow your channel as well and get regular updates whenever you post a new video. From here, you can build a foundation for your online video viewers and potential customers.
