Globally, almost 93% of internet users are watching videos online. In fact, this has become one of the most popular ways to educate, entertain, and keep informed of everything going on in the world around us and with family and friends.
We can think of no better way to share our festive season ventures than through short video clips posted on social media.
But let’s face it, with so many apps to choose from to create your video blog, or vlogging as it’s called, where do you start? Well, why not with the one that is far and away the most popular amongst the younger generation, TikTok.
Experience next-level fun with TikTok
