Start your video with a bold text, question, or eye-catching shot in the first 3 seconds. People scroll fast, so grab attention early to make them stop and watch instead of skipping your video.

1. Catch Eyes Quickly

Write a short, clear script before recording. Stick to one main idea and use simple words. Talk like you’re speaking to a friend so viewers understand and stay interested from start to finish.

2. Plan Your Words

Many people watch videos without sound. Adding big, clear captions helps them understand everything. It also makes your content easier to follow for everyone, including those with hearing problems.

3. Use Big Captions

Upload your video directly to the app you’re using—like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn. These native videos play better, look cleaner, and reach more people than shared YouTube or external links.

4. Post Directly There

Try to keep your video under 60 seconds. People have short attention spans online, and quick videos are easier to watch all the way through. Say your message fast, and cut out anything extra.

5. Keep It Short

Always end your video with a simple call-to-action. Say things like “Click the link,” “Follow us,” or “Buy now.” This helps guide people to take the next step without guessing what to do.

6. Tell Them What To Do

Good lighting makes your video look clean and professional. Natural light works great, or you can use a ring light. Avoid dark or shadowy videos—they’re hard to watch and feel less trustworthy.

7. Use Bright Lighting

People connect more with real faces than stock images. Use your team, happy customers, or even yourself. It feels more honest, friendly, and helps your audience trust your brand.

8. Show Real People

A great thumbnail gets people to click. Use a bright photo, smiling face, or short text over the image. Make sure it looks sharp and clear, even on a small mobile screen.

9. Make Cool Thumbnails

After posting, look at how your video did—how many people watched, liked, or shared it. This helps you learn what your audience likes and lets you improve your next video.
