There’s a lot of options out there to upload and host your flight school’s video content. But that doesn’t mean they’re all right for your business. For example, while Youtube is a great free option for a lot of your content, this can be a disaster for embedding videos on your website.

In 2018, Youtube removed the ability to disable the “show suggested videos after video ends” option on all embedded videos. Why should you care? Well due to the nature of the algorithms, competitors videos can and will start showing up as suggested next videos at the end of your videos on your website!

Not cool right? The ability to have complete control over your flight school’s content on your owned channels can make a huge different on your bottom line. I’m sure you wouldn’t sell ad space on your website to a direct competitor, so why would you let them do it for free? Check out FLYTSITES creative services when you’re done!
