🛑 STOP MAKING THESE COMMON MISTAKES IN YOUR VIDEOS 🛑
Video is a powerful tool for businesses to communicate with their clients and customers. However, not all video content is created equal. In fact, some videos may be doing more harm than good. In this blog, we'll explore three common mistakes people make when creating video content and how to avoid them.
Mistake #1: Videos that are too long
Let's be honest, no one wants to watch a five-minute video of someone talking at a camera. In most cases, the shorter the video, the better. To keep your content short and to the point, write a script before you start recording. This will allow you to cut out all of the unnecessary information and get straight to the point as quickly as possible.
Mistake #2: Boring Videos
Visually dull videos can make people click away faster than you can say "subscribe." To keep your viewers engaged, use multiple camera angles and switch between them periodically. If you don't have access to multiple cameras, use cutaways to relevant photos and videos to emphasize the point you're making. Adding suitable backing music and sound effects will also increase the overall production value.
Mistake #3: Videos that offer no value
If you're creating videos that are only focused on giving the hard sell of your products and services, your viewers will quickly realize that there's nothing in it for them, and they'll click away. Instead, reward your viewers with something valuable. This could be in the form of tips and tricks related to your industry or by providing some form of entertainment.
By avoiding these three common mistakes, you'll be on your way to creating video content that engages and adds value to your viewers. And, with the right approach, you can become an authority within your industry and gain lasting clients who trust and actively seek out your expertise when the time calls for it.
