2. Start With A Hook

First impressions count! Capture attention in the first 5 seconds with a bold statement, shocking fact, or intriguing question. This will keep viewers from scrolling past or closing the video early.

3. Keep It Short

Aim for 60-90 seconds. Short videos hold attention better, delivering the message before the viewer loses interest. Concise videos have a higher chance of driving action and improving conversion rates.

4. Focus on Benefits

Highlight how your product or service solves a problem or makes life better. Don't just list features—show how your audience can benefit from what you're offering. Benefits sell more than features alone.

5. Simplify the Script

Avoid complex language and technical jargon. A clear, straightforward script ensures your message is accessible and easy to understand, which is key to keeping viewers engaged and interested.

Visuals can make or break a video. Use dynamic animations, motion graphics, or live-action clips that visually illustrate your points and captivate the audience. The right visuals enhance retention and clarity.

7. Add a Clear CTA

A strong call-to-action (CTA) at the end directs viewers on what to do next. Whether it’s subscribing, buying, or signing up, a clear CTA helps convert passive viewers into engaged customers.

People love stories! Build a narrative that connects emotionally with the audience. Storytelling is a powerful way to make your message stick, creating a lasting impression and increasing conversions.
