Video marketing for your business used to mean creating one video for your company and posting it in a single location. Today, video marketing is about utilizing your video content in as many of your marketing efforts as possible. It’s not just about one video, but a slew of video assets that can be used and reused throughout the buyer’s journey to attract new visitors, engage more followers, nurture more prospects, and delight recurring customers.

So how do you do that? Let’s say your video production partner just completed and delivered a video. Your first step should be to consult your video marketing strategy and consider what stage in your sales funnel you’re trying to improve. For example, if your goal is to attract more eyeballs to your company or product, then you’ll want to consider using your video in efforts where you can reach a wider audience.

Alternatively, if you find you’re losing visitors once they come to your homepage, you may want to use your video to better engage with and educate them on your company website or in your marketing emails.

In order to help you decide when and where to post your videos depending on what stage of your marketing plan you’re working to improve, we’ve put together a list of 20 different places you may want to post your videos to increase your viewership, build brand awareness, and drive more business. Let’s dive in.

## Where to post a video no matter what your goal is

1. Your website – No matter where else you post your video content online, your videos should live on your website. And we’re not just talking about sharing a single “About Us” video—you should create a place, like a company blog or news page, where you regularly share video content. Not only is it good to have it all accessible in one place, but adding video to your website increases SEO and increases product comprehension as well as sales. Plus, 83% of marketers say video has increased dwell time on their website ( Wyzowl).

2. Your social media accounts – Your company’s Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages are all critical places to share your latest video content. We’ll get into the specifics of how to use video on each platform below, but if you’re just starting out in video marketing and wondering where to feature your video, your social accounts are an obvious given. Why? According to Animoto, 60% of consumers who made a purchase from a brand found out about them on social media, and using video content helps you capture that attention.

3. TikTok – With over 1 billion active users, there’s no doubt that TikTok is the hottest social media platform right now. For businesses, this is a big opportunity to reach out to new and potential customers on a platform that is especially popular with Gen Z and millennials. But it’s not just about posting your videos on TikTok and hoping for the best. To really take advantage of this platform, businesses need to create engaging and creative content that speaks to the TikTok community. If done right, posting videos on TikTok can be a great way to build up your brand.

4. Facebook and Instagram – Facebook and Instagram are both technically owned channels, which means posting videos to your account usually engages and nurtures those who already follow you. However, since advertising on these platforms is such an instrumental tactic for reaching new audiences, posting your video on these sites is also crucial in attracting more viewers. Between the two of them, they’re the first and third most popular social media sites in the world.

5. Tumblr and X – While not related in the same way as Instagram and Facebook, Tumblr and X (formerly “Twitter”) have similar functionality when it comes to attracting new visitors using hashtags. Try turning your video content into short GIFs and memes to get others sharing it alongside popular tags to promote your video in a unique way.

6. Yelp – Yelp is a great tool for attracting new would-be customers, especially because it will be one of the first places new visitors look to when trying to find more information about you or related businesses in your area. Providing professionally produced video content on your Yelp business listing is a great way to stand out, attract more visitors, and get more walk-ins or scheduled appointments.

7. Reddit – Reddit has millions of users and almost as many subreddits, which are niche communities inside of Reddit. The basic video subreddit can be a good place to submit your video, plus any industry-specific subreddits you can find relating to your video topic. Just remember to join the community and contribute to it regularly instead of just posting a video and expecting the views to roll in.

8. TripAdvisor – In the same way that posting a video on Yelp helps you get local business, posting a video on TripAdvisor attracts tourists, those planning trips for work, or locals looking for new opportunities in their area. TripAdvisor is obviously a better choice for businesses with physical locations like restaurants, bars, and more area-specific experiences and attractions, but it’s always good to have more reach.

9. Dailymotion – Dailymotion is a French-based video sharing website that allows users to view, upload, and browse videos by searching tags, categories, channels, or user-created groups. Posting your video content on this site is a good way to attract different eyeballs than those on YouTube or other social media sites, so if you’re looking to diversify your sources of new leads, try posting here.

10. Imgur – A good site for hosting your video or GIF content, posting to Imgur puts your content in front of another active community that can increase virality similar to Reddit. In fact, a lot of content posted to Reddit is hosted on Imgur. You can upload your videos to Imgur as private, but making them public allows them to appear to the entire Imgur community at large.

11. LiveLeak – LiveLeak is a video sharing website that lets users publish videos mainly related to politics, war, and other world events, though users are free to post any content they want. You can use this site as another source for spreading your video content to new audiences.

12. Mix – The successor to the now gone StumbleUpon, Mix is a curated version of StumbleUpon where content is organized by interests and users can create their own collections similar to Pinterest or Tumblr boards. This format combines likable elements of other popular platforms and has a built-in user base of die-hard StumbleUpon fans who stuck with the company after the brand switch. To take advantage, create public-facing collections where you can post links to your videos.

13. YouTube – Posting your video content on YouTube might seem obvious, as YouTube is the second largest search engine (behind Google), the second most popular social media platforms, and one of the Internet’s first video-specific platforms. But posting on YouTube isn’t really about posting one video and expecting the audience to come to you. While running ads there can count as attracting new viewers, posting on YouTube is more about engaging visitors and curating a community on your channel with consistent uploads. Try hosting your videos on YouTube on a schedule (we’d recommend weekly or bi-monthly), and use the tag features to attract a steady stream of new viewers at the same time.

13. LinkedIn – LinkedIn is a great professional social networking tool, and since they have begun prioritized video, posting videos on your account has become a key indicator of an actively used LinkedIn profile. Embed your content natively within the LinkedIn platform instead of using external links to YouTube and your video will reach a larger amount of your contacts’ screens.

Posting your video on a public or private LinkedIn Group is a different way to take advantage of the video features on LinkedIn. In particular, using LinkedIn Groups to build a network of potential customers or brand partnerships by nurturing relationships over time is a great way to find new leads. You have to contribute something meaningful to the groups, so make sure you’re commenting and interacting with the group as a whole, and that any video you post is providing value to the community instead of being overly promotional.

15. Vimeo – Vimeo is one of the most popular and user-friendly video hosting platforms on the internet, and differs from YouTube in some pretty big ways. Because Vimeo’s brand emphasizes creativity and higher caliber productions, you’ll want to place your best videos on Vimeo to engage with other user-creators on the platform who might be more interested in your content’s artistic merits over its promotional aspects.

16. Your Marketing Emails –Email marketing is still one of the strongest drivers of sales conversions because you’re marketing to warm leads. These are leads that have already been attracted and engaged, and are in the consideration stage looking for a reason not to say no. By using your video content in your email marketing, you can provide more value to convince your customers to say yes and give you a chance.

17. Instagram Stories – Instagram Stories work slightly differently than just posting on your main Instagram newsfeed, and so they’re worth thinking about differently. Instead of attracting new viewers, Instagram Stories are more for nurturing relationships with your current followers. This is a great place to preview a video or share it in short micro-snippets, as well as sharing daily video content, whether it be behind-the-scenes footage or quick tips and tricks that you can shoot on your smartphone and upload directly.

18. Pinterest – Posting a video on Pinterest as part of a curated content board is useful for nurturing your audience as well, especially if your brand or product fits the demographics that are already using Pinterest regularly, like the DIY, beauty, fashion, and travel enthusiasts. You can even ask followers to re-pin your video to their own boards if they feel so inclined.

19. Medium — Including your video as part of a public branded blog on Medium is a great way to nurture readers who have been following your blog and add value that may incline them to become a customer. While you may have your own blog on your company website, republishing a version on Medium where the Medium community can view, comment, and “clap” (the Medium equivalent of the like) can also attract new audiences, as well. Embedding video in your blog is a great tool to get both the blog and the video seen by more people.

20. Instructables – If your video is a how-to guide or tutorial, you may be able to share it effectively on Instructables. The site is geared toward DIYers and those who take projects into their own hands. Only a certain type of content is acceptable on the site, but if yours fits, it’s a great place to show your video to an interested audience, and the type of content on Instructables is exactly the video content that’ll help you nurture more would-be buyers into becoming customers.

And that’s it! There are tons of other places you can publish your video, but use this list as a starting guide for any new video content you create. You never know where your content will resonate more with an audience, so give them a try and see what works!

## A Decade of Stories: Pioneering Video Production Across Industries

The journey of Lemonlight began with a vision that was both ambitious and deeply needed in the marketplace. From our humble beginnings in a small bedroom in 2014, our mission was clear: to revolutionize video production, making video content accessible for brands of all sizes.

This vision was born out of a realization that while the demand for digital advertising solutions—particularly in video—was skyrocketing, small and medium-sized businesses were significantly underserved. The statistics were compelling, with predictions that 74% of all internet traffic would be video by 2017, and evidence that video significantly boosted engagement rates in marketing communications. Yet, the costs and logistics of video production were prohibitive for most, averaging $300,000 for a 30-second commercial.

Our approach— offering transparent, predetermined video packages—was revolutionary at the time. It allowed clients to choose a price point they were comfortable with, breaking down the barriers that had kept high-quality video out of reach for so many. Over time, this approach evolved into robust content packages that worked for brands of all sizes. As video content became more important across all industries, brands rushed to figure out how to get more.

Witnessing the success of our early clients, particularly the mom-and-pop shops that had previously thought high-quality video content was beyond their reach, was among the most rewarding experiences of our journey. Their stories of increased engagement, boosted sales, and enhanced brand recognition validated our belief in the power of accessible video content. These successes not only propelled our growth but the growth of our early clients as well.

Since then, Lemonlight has matured from a small startup to a leader in the video production industry. This journey over the last ten years has been marked by our commitment to innovation and quality, overcoming early challenges related to production costs and logistics.

We realized that by streamlining the full production cycle, from pre-production to post-production, we could produce high-quality content more affordably, democratizing video production for all.

As our reach expanded, enabling us to shoot anywhere in the country, our approach began to resonate with larger brands too. But unlike many companies that adjust their pricing based on the client’s profile, we maintained our integrity by offering consistent pricing structures. This meant that larger clients were not paying a premium for our services; instead, they were selecting more comprehensive packages that met their expansive needs. Today, we’re happy to work with some of the largest brands in the world, including Disney, Amazon, Walmart, Google, Lego, Netflix, and more. Our commitment to providing equal access to top-tier video production services, regardless of a client’s size or industry, sets us apart and remains a cornerstone of our appeal today.

It’s impossible to reflect on Lemonlight’s success over the past decade without highlighting the unparalleled role of our team’s creativity and expert dedication to storytelling. This human touch has not only built the foundation of our business but has fostered deep, lasting relationships with our clients and each other. Our team’s ability to bring stories to life, to encapsulate the essence of a brand within a few moments of video, has been instrumental in driving our success. This commitment to understanding each client’s unique narrative allows Lemonlight to consistently deliver content that resonates with audiences and elevates brands worldwide.

The next phase of Lemonlight will be to invest more heavily in technology to match our proven know-how in storytelling. We recently introduced the Lemonlight Platform, furthering our commitment to streamlining video production while enhancing quality and efficiency. This cutting-edge platform, integrated with AI, is designed not to replace our invaluable team but to amplify their capabilities. By automating the generation of pre-production documents in mere seconds, the platform allows our team—and our clients—to dedicate more time to the creative and human-centric aspects of storytelling that make our content so compelling. This technology has already revolutionized our workflow, speeding up the production process by over 40% and marking a significant leap forward for the industry.

Although still in its early stages, The Lemonlight Platform enables us to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in video production. We’re constantly exploring new technologies to ensure that our services mature and adapt to meet the highest standards of excellence and efficiency. This is particularly true when it comes to AI, where advancements are rapidly transforming the way video content is created and consumed. For example, text-to-video AI models like Sora will be a game changer for video creation, and we’re excited about how we can integrate similar models into our platform for seamless b-roll and additional visuals that enrich the depth and quality of our content without detracting from our expertise.

So, as we reflect on the remarkable journey of the past decade, I invite our dedicated employees, valued clients, and future clients to join us in celebrating Lemonlight’s achievements. Your trust, hard work, and commitment have been the key to our success. Together, we have not only reached significant milestones but have also paved the way for a future filled with even greater opportunities. The future of video production is bright, and with the ongoing evolution of the Lemonlight Platform, we’re sure to remain at the forefront of this dynamic industry.

Whether you’re interested in exploring the capabilities of our platform, eager to start a new project, or simply wish to learn more about our services and how we can help bring your story to life, we invite you to reach out. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

Here’s to the next ten years and beyond!
