How Captions Can Dramatically Increase Your Video Audience with Ahmed Khalifa (NEWBIE)
About this episode
Making your content more accessible
One of the most overlooked factors when it comes to marketing is how well your content is received without audio, according to the World Health Organisation, approximately 5% of the world's population is deaf or hard of hearing.
But did you also know that around 85 percent of humans watch videos with the sound turned off?
Assuming that sound will be played on your video, or even your podcast and not considering how to make it accessible to those without sound could be a big issue.
So that beautiful video you've made might not be getting the love it needs simply because you forgot one vital element.
