The Value Of A Good Video
Video content is one of those things that as the years have gone on, it's truly become a non-negotiable when it comes to growing your online presence. Instagram used to be strictly for sharing photos, and look how that has evolved over the years. After seeing the success of YouTube and TikTok, even the head of IG himself, Adam Mosseri, has made a public claim this year that IG is no longer a photo-sharing app!
Is video content more work? Theoretically, yes, it takes more effort, but wouldn't you rather take the extra time to create something amazing that you know will resonate with your audience and produce more engagement? We say YES - post with purpose! ☝️
If you say you don't have the time, we won't tell you to make the time... we understand it's more complicated than that, but we'll tell you to find someone who CAN. You may have a small team that is at capacity, so this would be a reason to outsource to the professionals. To get real results that convert, social media is an everyday job, not just "when you have time for it.
Maybe you're not sure what you can make videos on? 🤷♀️The world is your oyster! In situations like this, it's important to think about what type of content YOU would like to see if roles were reversed. Take note when you're on social media watching a video. What type of video is it? Who is in the video and what are they showcasing?
Your videos don't always have to take an exorbitant amount of time to produce. You could post videos on your stories of you candidly going about your day. Of course, post with purpose, poise, and you want it to make sense, but if you are very nervous and overthinking the process, those nerves will transfer over. Your audience will catch on to that and it can come across as disingenuous or inconsistent. Most importantly, be yourself and stay true to your brand!
PRO TIP: ➡️ It's okay to be funny in your videos! Here's your chance to show your personality! You don't need to be so dry or serious. People will connect with your personality, become invested, and stay interested in your organization! 😆 This is one surefire way to build up your brand loyalty.
