Hello folks. Today's video is about the
0:05
top YouTube alternatives.
0:08
Why would you want a YouTube
0:10
alternative? I think is the first
0:11
question to ask. Well, YouTube is still
0:15
great for discovery, but when you want
0:18
to convert your audience, if you want to
0:21
own them, if you want to make sure
0:24
they're staying on your website, um,
0:27
then you really want to be building or
0:29
displaying your video on owned land, not
0:32
rented land. And YouTube is that it's
0:35
big tech, it's rented. YouTube, Meta,
0:39
Google, all these companies are rented
0:41
land. Um, so let's talk about the top
0:44
YouTube alternatives. Coming in at
0:46
number three is Wistia. If you haven't
0:51
heard of Wistia, Wistia is a great
0:53
alternative to YouTube. They have a
0:56
fully customizable player. They don't
0:58
serve ads, allowing users to stay
1:01
focused on your content. And one of
1:04
their big advantages is they have
1:06
built-in marketing tools. So you can add
1:08
email capture forms directly within your
1:12
video and capture that data.
1:15
Coming in at number two, I'm sure you
1:18
have heard of Vimeo. Vimeo has been one
1:22
of the largest competitors to YouTube
1:24
over the years. With video or excuse me,
1:26
with Vimeo, you can host your own video.
1:29
You can have an ad-ree experience. You
1:31
can offer paid subscriptions for people
1:34
that want to pay to view your videos.
1:38
It's a dedicated community and one that
1:40
really appreciates high quality
1:45
Finally, coming in at number one is
1:47
open. Video. This is a product of EOIC.
1:52
Um, and this is a very modern privacy
1:55
first alternative to YouTube. Removes
1:59
the distractions. It has options that
2:02
include ads but are also ad free. Um,
2:06
and open video is really designed to
2:08
keep viewers on your site. The videos
2:11
can be hosted on your site. It's not
2:13
dragging users off to places like
2:16
YouTube or other competitors. Um, you
2:19
can even get benefits in search ranking
2:22
for video by using open.video.
2:25
Uh, and it is a a lightweight player
2:28
built for speed. you do get access to
2:31
that rich subscriber data so you can
2:35
contact your audience and have that if
2:38
you want to port your video subscribers
2:41
into a newsletter. Um, so yeah, there
2:44
you have it. The top three alternatives
2:46
to YouTube. We have Wistia, Vimeo, and
2:54
