Use a surprising fact, intriguing question or brief story to capture viewers’ interest within the first 10 seconds. A powerful beginning ensures viewers stay interested throughout the entire video.

2. Start with a Bang

Stick to one main idea per video. Do not overwhelm your viewers by delivering excessive information. The simplicity and clarity of explanations help viewers easily follow along while retaining their knowledge.

3. Keep It Clear

Explain concepts by presenting images, graphics, or animations to your audience. People retain information better when they see visual explanations of ideas which also makes videos both instructive and enjoyable.
