how can you attract social media users to share your video content online?
Encouraging social media users to share your video content is a six-step process:
1) Create high-quality original video content.
2) Optimize your video content with intriguing headlines and attractive thumbnails.
3) Make sure your video content quickly meets the user’s intent using savvy post-production to continuously deliver value and extend user watch time.
4) Publish your video content during peak social media engagement hours (Monday–Thursday, 8 a.m.–noon), which allows social algorithms to push your content in front of more people.
5) Incentivize users to share video content with irresistible offers and free resources while engaging their comments.
6) Regularly ask users within your video content to share, comment, like, follow, and subscribe.
what is the most popular social media platform for video?
Though YouTube is far and away the most popular platform for video, Facebook actually reaches more MAUs (monthly average users). In 2023, Facebook will reach 2.96 billion MAUs, while YouTube will reach only 2.2 billion MAUs. The user intent for watching videos on social platforms is very different, with YouTube videos sitting higher in the sales funnel for brand awareness and interest. Facebook videos and Instagram videos are further down the sales funnel, with branded video content tied directly to sales thanks to integrated stores, social video sharing, and direct purchasing.
how much does social media video production cost?
In 2023, the average cost of a social media video production will be $3000-$5000 per finished minute for a 3-minute to 5-minute video. Of course, pricing scales as high as $10,000 per finished minute according to the expertise of your creative team, the timeline of your project, the type of video you’re shooting, the time and talent it takes to shoot your video, the length of your video, and the post-production your video requires. One of the best ways to determine your cost per finished minute is to identify video production companies whose work you admire and submit a request for a quote. Gather the different quotes for the total cost of your social media video and divide each by the desired length of your final video. With this information, you’ll be able to accurately set expectations for your social media video budget per finished minute.
how long does it take to finish a social media video?
With a healthy budget, social media video content can be finished in as little as seven weeks. Every project is unique, and the speed of final delivery is ultimately dependent on your budget, the length of your video, and the strategy, production, and post-production processes.
