Are you tired of creating videos that just don't seem to get any traction? Well, get ready to be blown away by these must-know video cheat sheet tips that will transform your content and have clients flocking to your door!
Dress to Impress
First impressions are everything, and that applies to your video content too. Make sure you look the part - no more rolling out of bed and hitting record! Match the expectations of your target clients, or even exceed them, to really make an impact.
Production Value Matters
Shaky, poorly lit videos are a surefire way to send viewers running. Invest in a tripod or gimbal stabilizer to keep things smooth and steady. And don't forget a wireless mic - it'll make a huge difference in your audio quality. Be conscious of lighting and stability of the video. If it’s hard to look at or gives someone motion sickness your views were swipe! A tripod is easy to pack or a stabilizer such a gimbal can make your videos look more professional. A wireless microphone can plug into your phone and make a huge difference in sound quality.
Optimize for the Platform
Vertical for Reels/TikTok, horizontal for YouTube - know the right format for each platform. Create dedicated folders on your phone to keep your content organized and ready to go.
Keep Them Engaged
Avoid those dreaded lulls and pauses that make viewers click away. Use editing apps to tighten up your videos and keep the action flowing. And don't forget the all-important hook - grab their attention from the very first second! NO LULLS! Don’t have long pauses or transitions or people will lose interest. Use an editing app such as CapCut or Splice to remove any pause when you are combining. You can also use these Apps to speed up if you realize you had videoed something too slow.
Leverage the Algorithm
Harness the power of trending topics and hashtags to make sure your videos get seen. And be consistent - stick to one main category to help the algorithm work its magic.
Add Those Captions
Captions aren't just for accessibility - they'll also help capture viewers who are scrolling without sound. It's an easy way to boost engagement.
Optimize for Success
Nail those thumbnails and titles to draw people in, and don't forget to include your contact info so they can easily reach out.
