Alternative Video Hosting Sites: Sproutvideo.com

Last week we wrote an article about a unique business orientated video hosting site called Wistia. We decided to continue this with a little series dedicated to the other options out there as well!

Now, numerous reports have been published that show the strength and driving power of online video marketing (Ahem..). The fact is that people are more likely to hit the play button than scroll through the text is now well known. But before your clients can see your videos, you first have to decide what platform you are going to use. Today, we are looking at what Sproutvideo.com has to offer!

Created by Adam Podolnick,  Sproutvideo is an online video hosting site dedicated to providing small-business clients with the means to store, market and brand their videos online. Similar to Wistia, Sproutvideo pride themselves in the fact they provide a service with no ads, no sponsored videos or no suggested videos at the end of your branded content.

Here are a couple of other notable points on the video hosting site.

Benefits of the Video Hosting Site
