With stay-at-home orders and self-quarantines, consumers have spent the year searching for ways to keep themselves busy. According to YouTube, audiences have viewed <\/span>more than 4 billion hours<\/span><\/a> of \u201chow-to\u201d videos over the past 12 months alone. In fact, searches for do-it-yourself videos with \u201cat home\u201d in the title have seen a <\/span>700% search increase<\/span><\/a> since March. As audiences spend more time watching videos, a bond is formed between the creator and the consumer. While most YouTube videos have a 15-minute time limit, verified users\u2014or Influencers\u2014can reach a few <\/span>hours<\/span><\/a>. Influencers rely on engaged viewers in order to be successful, so they create content that’s specifically curated for their audiences. By tapping into influencer marketing, brands can reach their audiences in places where they are already open and engaged.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
