\"Vine\"<\/p>\n

Nowadays, it seems that everywhere you turn, another social media site is popping up! First, there was Facebook. Soon after that came Twitter, then Instagram, and other sites. And now, there\u2019s another site taking the social media world by storm! Maybe you\u2019ve heard of Vine, or maybe you haven\u2019t. It is steadily gaining popularity, and sure to be the next big thing in social media.<\/p>\n

But, what is Vine exactly? Vine is actually owned by Twitter, and was launched in 2013. Differing from YouTube or other video sites, it lets users record 6- second video clips, and the clips play continuously on a loop. Six seconds may not seem like a lot, but it\u2019s actually thought to be roughly equivalent to Twitter\u2019s 140-character limit. \u00a0Once you create Vines, you can quickly and easily share them with your followers on Twitter and friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n

In the six months after its launch, Vine has already drawn in well over 13 million users. In addition to being entertaining, Vine is also a strategic way to promote your business!<\/p>\n

Factor in Other Details<\/i><\/h2>\n

To have the best outcome with advertising your business through Vine, you\u2019ll want to have a high-quality and clear video.

Decide About Sound<\/i><\/h2>\n

If you want a more professional video, you might decide that you don\u2019t want any sound in the background. However, even if you don\u2019t want sound, when you record a Vine there will be sound in the background. So, make sure that you find a very quiet location, and check for background noise before you begin filming! Conversely, if you do want sound in your video, to make it more high quality you might want to buy a specific microphone for your phone.<\/p>\n
