9 Badass Singapore YouTubers Who Prove that Quality Content Slays
When you hear the word “YouTuber”, a few familiar names might come to mind – Anthony Padilla, Ingrid Nilsen, Lindy Tsang, Lily Singh, and Ryan Higa… But the lion city, too, has its fair share of talent. From short skits, parodies, vlogs, song covers and even makeup tutorials, our Singapore YouTubers have been slaying!
Stream Videos, Fill Your Pocket, and Boost Brand Awareness
If you didn’t already know, video marketing was a pretty big thing in 2019.
The rise of YouTube advertising as well as the introduction of video ads format across various social networks has prompted the need for more video content for marketing, branding and advertising.
The case of YouTube is interesting, though. Mainly because of the fact that YouTube users can actually make a career out of posting videos on YouTube now!
These days, one can call himself a YouTuber if he makes a living off posting videos on YouTube.
YouTube isn’t just “that place with the cat videos” as British YouTuber Dan Howell might suggest. It has know become a bank of motion content and information. The video-sharing platform is also a hotbed for digital marketing and branding now.
YouTube ads aside, there is another form of YouTube marketing that we’ve yet to explore – organic marketing. Like bloggers, Singapore Youtubers review products and services on their channels. This helps organizations reach their target audience with the Singapore YouTubers as mediums.
However, effective digital marketing using local YouTubers takes more than just uploading a video. Instead, it involves connecting with one’s audience, educating and building loyalty much like micro-influencer marketing.
A YouTuber is successful when users choose to tune into their videos instead of television or Google for education or Netflix for entertainment.
