The possibilities
What is a social media video?
Social media videos are video content specifically created for online platforms, focusing on viewer engagement. When viewers connect with the content and enjoy it, it encourages interaction, comments, likes, and reposts, all of which are valued by social media algorithms. It's essential to appeal to emotions, avoiding a hard sales pitch or overly serious tone. Instead, content like a fun introduction to a new intern, a glimpse into the company cafeteria, or a lighthearted showcase of various products tends to perform much better online.

4 tips for creating social media videos
Put the Viewer First: People consume social media content that resonates with them and fits their perspective. Focus on the viewer rather than pushing a hard sales message; keep it light and engaging.
Consider the Call to Action (CTA): If the social media video is well-received and the viewer watches it until the end, what’s next? Ensure there’s a clear call to action, guiding viewers on the desired next steps.
Include Subtitles: Most social media videos are viewed without sound. Always add subtitles to your videos so that your message is clear, regardless of whether the audio is on or off.
Create a Series: It’s often said that one video is no video for social media. Repetition and consistency are crucial for the algorithm, and it helps enhance brand recognition.
