Video is the king of content. Not only do videos consistently perform better in algorithms (which boosts your visibility), but they are the key to grabbing your audience’s attention and inciting meaningful engagement. Videos are the most digestible and sought-after forms of digital content.
When’s the last time you fell down a YouTube rabbit hole? Almost every online user seeks videos for information, instruction, inspiration, and straight-up entertainment. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with your customers!
A good rule of thumb is the 80/20 rule: 80% of your content should inspire empathy and provide value to your target audience without directly promoting your business. You can then dedicate the other 20% to promotions, sales, and advertisements for your products and services. Even these promos should not be overt; it’s best to focus on your customers’ pain points, then build entertaining advertisements that offer attractive solutions.
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make when creating content is a lack of personalization and a human touch. Your followers want to see faces, hear inspiring and entertaining stories, and to feel like they know you and your team members. This will encourage engagement and long-term loyalty in a way direct advertising simply cannot.
When marketing your business online, your primary goal should be to cultivate meaningful and lasting relationships with your current and potential customers.
