You have probably heard or read that video advertising is expensive… Well, good news ! YouTube created solutions to allow Small and Medium Enterprises to broadcast their videos too. Like on Google with Adwords, they created small budgets solutions: “You only pay when an internet user chooses to watch your video”. This is the TrueView system.

There are 4 ways to introduce your video advertising on YouTube. But for each viewing formula, payment method stays the same: pay per view. No click? No views? Nothing to pay! 

Video now became an essential tool for every communication strategy, like demonstrated by figures and facts previously stated.
