How Visual Content Marketing is Better Than Text?

Quora Question: How is visual based content marketing taking over text based content marketing?

And now, videos have taken the visual marketing to an altogether different level. So, hands down, for customer engagement visuals are way more effective. But yeah as Subhashini has stated, the Google algorithm still aligns better with text. Therefore, putting a line or two as video/graphic description with hash tags helps, currently.

Understand and remember, the basics of socializing shall stay the same - it will work towards developing a social community. The same fundamental rules of winning over a community apply!
