7. Soundcloud

With now more than 175 million unique monthly listeners, according to the company’s numbers, SoundCloud is a remarkably powerful publishing and distribution tool for music aficionados and artists alike, enabling its users to upload, record, promote, and share originally-created sounds. With estimates that users upload about 12 hours worth of audio every minute, the huge potential for garnering excitement for your creative audio content, having an active presence on this platform is a tangible reality!

8. Vine

Its a smorgasbord of video in short format. Popular among jokesters and internet trend setters, the Vine platform is wonderful tool for promotion of one’s online personality and content. Think of it as Twitter, for video! It may come as a surprise that it is actually owned by that that micro-blogging giant. Because videos published through the service on user profiles, known as “vines” are kept super short, (we’re talking 6 seconds max), it’s a powerful tool for gaining traction/brand-stickiness with a shorter attention-spanned audience!
