marketing plan. There is a multitude of platforms to host video content
for your business: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Vine and Snapchat are all
busy competing for video content creators. However, what many marketers
find intimidating is the process of video editing—an essential part of
getting the high-quality video content to represent your brand.

expensive, right? Well, it doesn’t have to be. In this blog post, I’ll
share some of the best cheap video editing apps for iOS and Android that
