5 Video Hacks for Your Facebook Pages

blog paul halme Oct 11, 2019
Videos are, without a doubt, a significant contribution to any businesses' online marketing strategy.
 
They're easy-to-consume-content and a lot of people prefer watching over reading texts.
 
In fact, they make better organic reach compared to text and image posts.
 
Today, we're sharing TOP 5 Video hacks for your Facebook pages.
 
1. Create and upload videos directly to Facebook - gone are the days we simply share the Youtube link on our Facebook pages.
Rivaling YouTube, Facebook is now a powerful video platform on its own.
 
To make sure people wont just scroll past your videos on Facebook watch, remember to:
> Set an attractive video thumbnail - thumbnails are the first thing people see on your video just before it plays. Get it right.
> Make the first 5 seconds powerful and engaging! - add cool sound effects, intriguing scripts, anything creative on the first 5 seconds of your clip. Don't bore people with your business intro or whatever pitch.
 
Also make sure to:
> Add a feature video on your Facebook page's About section
> Create a playlist of your videos on your Facebook page
 
 
2. Experiment and make use of Facebook 360 videos.
Facebook 360 videos allow viewers to pan, rotate, and watch the video unfold from their perspective.
This gives your viewers a more experiential and interactive feel of your story.
 
3. Create a hype around your videos by using the Premiere option.
Keep your audience and viewers involved by inviting them to watch your new video releases...
 
4. Maximize the power of Facebook Lives by creating a Pre, Real-Time and Post-Broadcast post.
 
Tell people what's about to go down. Keep them involved by asking questions during the live broadcast. Invite people to watch the replay and answer some survey questions, post-broadcast.
 
5. Add a Call to Action to your videos.
Releasing a binge-worthy content without a proper CTA is a waste of time.
Go ahead and make use of those "Book Now," "Shop Now," and "Learn More" buttons.
 
 
While showing people a preview of your gym or martial arts school is important, please remember to not overdo it.
 
List down your video content ideas before filming.
A few of the stuff you could show them are:
> raw, unedited snippets of your classes
> staff, receptionists, trainers inviting people to check your school out
> before and after progress
> line up of activities and behind-the-scenes,etc
 
What videos are you filming in the next few days?
