Make People want to Share your Video on Social Media!
The videos that get the highest amount of engagement on social media are funny videos, DIY tips, “Behind the Scenes” and heartwarming videos. It’s important to get your audience to care about your brand and what you’re selling. If the video is flashy and well made, but it lacks incentive for engagement, then you missed out on a great opportunity and there goes your ROI down the drain.

Stick Close to 30 – 60 Seconds.
Let’s be honest – Facebook and Instagram are overwhelming. The news feed is designed to put all the content someone likes into one, accessible place. The problem: it’s all in one place. So, your video is not only fighting for news feed real estate, it’s also fighting for your audience’s attention. For Facebook, keep your video around 60 seconds and keep it close to 30 seconds on Instagram. Anything more is rolling the dice on great engagement on your social media.

Visual > Audio on Social Media
Facebook has all videos on auto-play but there isn’t any sound until the video is clicked. So, make sure your visuals are very eye-catching and worthy of a click! Social media is fast paced so make sure you have something worth looking at!

Get to the Point
The first 3 seconds are the most important seconds for your video on social media. Those seconds will be the deciding factor of whether someone is going to watch your video. Keep it interesting and worth staying for.
