Today, creating video content is a crucial element of small business marketing. Here are some of the benefits of doing so:

• Connect with your audience at a personal level

• Keep them engaged (video gets about 1200% more shares online)

• Improves brand recall and drives more traffic to your site

• Has some of the highest conversion rates

However, for smaller businesses, creating video can be time-consuming. Plus, not everybody is comfortable in front of a camera, and you need to have some decent video equipment, which can be expensive.

Here's where AI can help again! Thanks to artificial intelligence, you can do all of this faster and more cost-effectively. Your content will also be more accessible to a wider audience and it is scalable.
