It's throwback Thursday, and we're throwing it back to 1957 with a fun vintage giveaway! I highlight it here in this quick video, but if you're not in the mood to watch a video about creating videos (ironic, yes?), then scroll down and check out the pictures and enter to win!
In his keynote speech to the Mobile World Congress earlier this week, Mark Zuckerberg predicted that in a few years “the vast majority of the content that people consume online will be video."
The Facebook leader explained that a decade ago most of the content was text, then photos and now it’s shifting to videos.
Zuckerberg's focus on videos isn’t a huge surprise (we included videos as one of our Top 10 Online Marketing Trends for 2016). However, we also know that video creation takes time and can be intimidating for small businesses.
If you're excited about creating videos and want to get started but aren't sure how, you could be in luck!
We came across this old gem, "How to Take Better Home Movies" full of classic tips, and we're giving it away to one lucky winner!
