Today’s Social Media Strategy requires consistent video marketing to create a connection and tell a multifaceted story that just words or audio can’t always accomplish.

Tips For A Social Media Strategy That Includes Successful Video Marketing Online
- Shorter is better — 90 seconds is ideal for a marketing video.
- Choosing a platform — First, find out where your potential audience goes for their information, then show up there.
- Biggest video marketing mistakes — Inconsistency, investing in too much equipment, and being too high-concept.
- People like real people — be authentic, talk about what you know, be consistent, and give potential customers a feel for what it might be like to work with you.
