Chris mentions a phrase he coined called “crowd-accelerated innovation.” This term describes how the broad audience that YouTube provides (this “crowd” consists of millions and millions of daily viewers) coupled with free exposure drives innovation (one person’s creativity will cause another person to try to “one-up” it).

Creativity in online advertising is growing exponentially and you should take advantage of all the web video opportunities available to grow your online business. Your use of these opportunities will help you rise to the top in your industry.
