Why Multimedia Embedding is Important
Online readers have one thing in common. They are highly likely to lose interest within a few seconds after they land on your website. Readers’ attention is shrinking with every passing day. Even if you see someone tweeting out an article, there is a very high chance that they haven’t fully read the article themselves.
But why does it happen? Why do readers lose interest that easily? The most common reason for losing interest is that readers know they have multiple alternatives. Switching to a new website is a subjective act, they will leave your site if they don’t find what they are looking for.
Even if they fail to find what they are looking for on your website, they are just a few clicks away from finding it on another website. They might even land on your primary rivals’ site after. And you can’t stop them, readers have that liberty.
But a high bounce rate is bad for your website. So what can you do to stop them from leaving your website, you can use interactive content. The use of multimedia has been proven to result in higher engagement rates. Even if you have highly informative content on your website, likely, only text can easily make your readers lose interest. But if you use text content in combination with multimedia content, your readers will spend more time on your website. In other words, go easy on your reader’s eyes.
In today’s world, people have grown highly visual. Starting from plain images to videos and infographics, slideshows and images we have alternatives to plain text-based content. However, these other content types cannot undermine the value of the text. The text helps search engines properly crawl through your content and create metadata as well as it binds every other multimedia together.
Consolidate Your Brand Image
Multimedia can help in another way, it can help you consolidate your brand image. If you have already built your brand image that’s great. But just like any other milestone you achieve, it is more difficult to maintain it than to achieve it. If you maintain accounts on different platforms and post content on all of them your readers might have a clear idea it’s you. But to further make it easier for them you can place all relevant content from different platforms in one place which consolidates your brand. Also, multimedia content can also help to enhance the meaning of your text content as well as complement it.
Apart from embedding multimedia content, you can also embed social media posts. This helps your visitors easily navigate back and forth between your social media accounts and your website. This can be a highly effective strategy in growing your social media audience.
Moreover, embedding social media posts also comes with the scope of embedding user-generated content on your website. If your users see that you have embedded content generated by them, they will feel more encouraged to engage with your content. Moreover, this also gives you the chance to display genuine testimonials on your site. Testimonials give you a great opportunity to build credibility among your user-base, and what better way to do it than displaying raw engagement by your actual users on social media platforms?
Placing Complementary Content Side-By-Side
A great strategy taken by content creators is they make different versions of the content for different platforms. For example, writing a blog for their website, creating a video on the same topic on YouTube, creating a slide for Slideshare, and even creating a podcast version of their content.
The first benefit of creating a different version of your content is you can serve different tiers of your audience with different tastes. Some might prefer video content over text, some might prefer to listen to a podcast while going to work instead of reading text content. Your goal is to reach as many audiences as you can and often to maximize your reach you might need to broaden your content distribution mix.
However, once you have created content for different platforms you can easily use them to complement each other as you see in the above screenshot. The image helps to visually present what the text is saying. For example, it might be a better idea to create a video for walkthrough content instead of writing text content, that way it’s easier to keep track of all the involved steps.
