In light of our Real Bratz contest, we’ve decided to help you create the perfect video we’re looking for! We know that creating and uploading a video onto the Internet is easy nowadays, but getting views is much harder. Luckily, THE MAG has the secret formula that may make your video a viral success! We’ve shared our 10 tips below!
1) Research. Coming up with ideas for a video is tough, so keep up with current events and your social media feeds to know what’s hip and relevant.
2) Plan ahead of time. To record your video in a timely manner, it’s be best to know exactly what you’re filming. Draft a script if needed and rehearse it a few times to make sure the video’s shot smoothly and right.
3) Make it entertaining! Videos are made to entertain others. Your video can either be informative, funny, weird or cute. The possibilities are endless!
4) Be yourself. Captivate your audience with your fun personality! This doesn’t mean that you need to be an actor in any way, but if you’re unenergetic, viewers will get bored quickly.
5) Positivity is key. Studies have shown that the more upbeat and positive your video is, the more likely it’ll go viral!
6) Emotion. If your video impacts people emotionally, they’ll be more likely to share your video because you created a feeling within them.
7)Keep your video to the point. Generally speaking, the shorter the video, the better is. Try and keep it under two minutes to keep it straightforward.
8) Think about tags and keywords. This is extremely important because this is how people will find your video on the Internet. When you’re uploading your video online, make sure its title, description and hashtags capture its essence.
9)Promote! Share your video with your friends and family and encourage them to share it with their networks too.
10) Interact with your audience. If someone leaves a positive message on your video, comment back to thank them! This will create an important connection between yourself and your audience and they’ll be more likely to follow your account.
