Ready, set…action!

Don’t let a video camera stop you from connecting with others.

5 Reasons You Should Choose Video Marketing.

• Video attracts an audience.
• Video is easy to consume.
• Video lets you share your authentic self.
• Video outperforms images.
• Video gets better organic reach!

Instagram is highly visual, so it’s a perfect platform for video.

Create up to 60-second video posts on Instagram or up to a 15-second Instagram story.

The 7 Roles of a Video Marketer

1. Producer – You’ve invested your resources to be online!
2. Director – You decide on the content you’re going to offer.
3. Actor – You are the speaker for your brand or business.
4. Editor- You decide whether you want to prerecord with edits, or go pro.
5. Publisher – You can repurpose and post the same video on multiple platforms
6. Copywriter – You create the headlines and valuable captions.
7. Promoter – You can promote posts that do well and expand your reach.

How to Create Captions

I use an app called “Spacie” to create beautiful captions. With “Spacie” you can add bold or italicized text, paragraph breaks, emojis, and more.

Don’t forget to add a strong call to action and make sure your Instagram profile link leads to relevant content.

Repurpose Your Content with Wave Video

If you take the time to create valuable micro-content, why not share it on other platforms in its native size. With Wave Video, you create a video for Instagram, and with a few clicks, you can resize it for Pinterest, YouTube, and more.
