So we all know who is King of the Video Sharing Sites. YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. If you want to upload a video on the Internet, pretty much anyone will default to the web's standard. And why shouldn't they? YouTube has been the platform for viral sensations, from huge brands to home videos that accidentally go viral. Let me tell you why should consider alternatives and why you should post Viral Videos to these Top YouTube Alternatives below.
When you post to YouTube the wisdom is: "Go where the people are." It makes YouTube tempting, especially as it continues to expand its features and reach. But there are some things that YouTube can't do, or doesn't do so well. There are plenty of other high-quality video platforms with competitive features or specialized markets. Also YouTube is so large that your videos might get lost in the crowd and it is always good to supplement, get additional exposure and extend your reach in places where most people would not think to post their videos so the competition might not be as fierce as YouTube
So I picked out a couple YouTube Alternatives (and I might add more as I see fit) and why I think you should post your soon to go Viral Videos on these sites. Shall we Proceed ?
Brief Summary: Organized more like a content aggregator, DailyMotion offers videos of varying length organized by category. There's plenty of user-made videos, but professional, quality clips are more prominently featured.
Features: The site supports the most common video formats but restricts storage capacity to less than 150 MB and less than 20 minutes per video. The emphasis is on community, with the ability to add other users in a contact list and send feedback. Most high-powered features, like HD uploads, are locked behind pro accounts.
Why Use DailyMotion?: It's not the most intuitive site for uploaders, but it's easy for curious viewers to browse. If you can manage the backend, there's a good chance your video will reach new eyes.
