Molly Youngblood on what she suggests to businesses: "I say, "Okay, you know, I'm going to create this video for you. It's going to have content related to your product or services." And I try to explain to them that it's actually a really good marketing tool because this same video not only can be used on the website, it can be put on YouTube, it can be shared on social media, it can be blasted everywhere."

Molly Youngblood on the advantage of Google Vids: "I think because of this tool that it's going to really really help people and business owners get more comfortable using video and it really eliminates that fee [for professionally created videos]."

Nina Trankova on using video to reach a global audience: "As a foreigner, I'm interested in reaching out to anyone globally. They can listen in their native language because it's on YouTube and they can listen while multitasking because it's not reading some specific information. It's so much easier to digest. It's a video.
