Snackable videos should be quick, ideally under 30 seconds. Short videos grab attention fast and hold it. Viewers are more likely to watch all the way through if the video is brief and delivers value quickly.

1. Keep it Short

Your video’s first few seconds matter the most. Start with something attention-grabbing like a question, surprise, or bold statement. This entices viewers to keep watching to see what happens next.

2. Hook Viewers Early

Use bright colors, animations, and smooth movements to make your video visually exciting. Eye-catching visuals keep your audience engaged and make the content stand out in a crowded social feed.

3. Focus on Visuals

Provide something valuable right away, like a useful tip, answer, or quick solution. Getting to the point quickly helps viewers understand the benefit and keeps them engaged throughout the video.

4. Deliver Value Instantly

Since many viewers watch videos with the sound off, always include captions or on-screen text. This ensures your message is clear, even for people who can’t hear the audio while watching.

5. Add Captions and Text

End your video with a clear CTA. Ask viewers to follow your page, share the video, or click a link. A strong CTA gives your audience direction and encourages them to take action after watching.

6. Create a Call-to-Action (CTA)

Make sure your video fits the platform you're posting on, whether it’s Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook. Tailor the size, format, and aspect ratio to maximize engagement and ensure it looks great on each platform.
