-
Keep your video short
Keep your videos short and to the point. Create videos that are punchy, viewers don’t have time or the patience to sit through long descriptive videos. They want something short, interesting and engaging. It would be unrealistic to expect your audience to sit through a 3 minute long video before the actual video begins. Long videos can repulse your audience. Try and avoid creating videos that are longer than 15 seconds so that your viewers watch the entire video and do not miss out on your message.
