We get it. You love audio, and you love podcasting, which is why you didn’t choose to become a videographer or filmmaker. Perhaps the idea of being on camera makes you uncomfortable. After all, being camera-ready requires a lot more work than being “podcast-ready.” To be camera-ready, you need your hair, makeup, and outfit looking on point, whereas for a podcast, all you need is a few vocal warmups and a comfy chair to be ready to go.
Besides the stress of being on camera, the trouble with video is that it tends to be expensive and time-consuming. Video equipment and software can be pricey, and once you get down to brass tacks and do the work of editing the footage, the software can take years to master. Despite being confusing and costly to create, video has quickly become the preferred type of media on virtually every social platform. If you want to take advantage of video’s popularity but don’t have the time, money, or patience to commit to the usually difficult process, all you need is Headliner.
Video Outperforms Everything Else
Though podcasts are a massively popular form of media, video still reigns supreme on the Internet. On social media sites, videos receive around 1,200% more shares than images and text posts, and for good reason. The human brain is more adept at taking in information when presented both audibly and visually, making video the perfect solution to low viewer engagement.
By simply including video in their marketing scheme, websites see 2 – 3x as much traffic as they did without video. By 2022, a predicted 82% of global internet traffic will come from watching and streaming video. People are simply more likely to engage with content if it includes video. Videos receive more clicks, more comments, and more shares than static images or audio files alone, and this trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. But where does that leave the podcasters and audio-artists of the world?
