Viemo vs YouTube !

[zaffron]

hi guys

i am thinking to create a new channel in Vimeo to promote my brand and content to increase audience. So is it worth to do it? what about you guy, did any body try it ?

I assume you mean Vimeo? TBH, it's probably not worth the effort. I tends to be for more professional filmmakers rather than amateur vloggers etc. (although not exclusively). The audience is much smaller too, which means it could be more difficult o grow.

Like @DJBenz said it may depend on your content. It also depends on what your want to reach. I want to have my viewers on YouTube as I get some revenue there.

I agree, it depends on what you want to do. Vimeo reaches a smaller audience, but those who go there are looking for full-length, more well-produced video content. If all you're trying to do is get eyeballs on videos, you may consider directly uploading some video content to Facebook, with a link to your YouTube channel for full versions of what you've uploaded, as a "teaser," of sorts. Facebook videos get more views (native Facebook videos, not embedded from YouTube) by multiple factors than YouTube videos do, so if you're not concerned with monetizing every view, that may be a good bet.

I created an account there because somebody uploaded our videos and I had to report him/her. They took down the videos within an hour. At least they take the copyrights issues seriously - good point for them! Apart from this I can't say anything more. They look like decent video site though.
