The 5 keys are :-

2. Encourage snacking (displaying related videos around the main video)
3. Produce for the Medium (i.e. short form content, bearing in mind not all genres are equal)
   - Av length is 2.6 mins
   - Less videos provide fictional narrative and drama, more at news, paparazzi video, individual personalities
4. Use Internet Distribution
   -  Allow consumers to embed your videos
   -  Organise syndication with internet video distributors
5. Monetize (for non branded sites)
