Use text that pops. Text is a key feature of successful videos, especially since about 82% of videos play silently on social media. Elevate your next project in our Marketing Video Builder with our how-to guide for using text.
Optimize your video’s SEO. Once your video is finished, you’ll want people to be able to find it. That’s where guest poster Corey Potter of Fuel Your Photos comes in. This year, he shared his easy-to-follow process for getting your photography videos to rank higher on Google and YouTube.
Make a video that’ll perform well on social. We launched our first Social Media Summit this year, featuring photographers like Vanessa Joy and Sue Bryce, sharing their tips for creating videos that work on social media. To get started, check out Vanessa’s best tips for succeeding on social media on the photography blog.
Post your video as an ad. If your New Year’s resolution involves learning how to create ads on Instagram or Facebook, a good jumping off point is Susan Stripling’s great Wedding School talk which we covered in this post on creating ads for Instagram.
