Tips

1. Title should tell the viewer exactly what they will see.

2. Description finishes this sentence, “After watching this video I will know….

3. Links need to include “http://”.

4. Videos (generally) be under 3 minutes.

5. How does the video build your brand?

6. Can every video stand on its own?

7. Gain exposure by doing videos with another brand.

8. Professional quality videos tend not to get as many views—people want to see real people.

9. Use search to identify topics that people are looking for.

10. Transcribe your videos!#sbIMPACT
