Social Media Video: Mistakes to Avoid

Social Media Video: Mistakes to Avoid

Video marketing and social media are the best tools to promote your business, grow your brand, reach your target audience and generate engagement.

But many businesses don’t use effectively these tools. They don’t have an effective video marketing strategy and make mistakes.

Here are some mistakes you need to know and avoid.

  1. Don’t Over-posting Content

You need to avoid posting content too often. Many marketers believe that if you want to do well on Facebook or Instagram post content ten times a day. The more you post the more people will see your content. But it’s not true.

You only have a certain amount of people following you, if you keep posting too much content you are going to wear your followers out and your followers are going to start ignoring your content.

It is better to post once a day. This way there would be a certain time standard in the minds of your followers and you would be able to have the maximum traffic. This way you can generate engagement with your followers.

  1. Create High-Quality Video Content

Don’t post mediocre content. Now that you would be posting only once a day make sure that the content is effective and amazing. If people don’t like your content they will most likely not engage or comment.

You can use Buzzsumo. This web tool will show you what is popular on social media right now. It is always helpful to try to create content that aligns with the latest viewing trends.

  1. Content and Channels – Choose The Right Channel

It is better to know very well the platforms that you choose to display content on. If you have a news website, posting content on Instagram might not have the response you need.

So platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube, and all of these big social media players want your attention. These platforms, when used effectively, can generate ten times more engagement than any other platform in the world right now.

But the key is to shape content according to what the platform is best known for.

  1. The First Hour of Release

You need to push for engagement in the first hour of release. If we talk about SEOs it’s a different thing, you might get engagement after six months of posting content. But with videos, it’s a totally different matter.

Your video has to do well within the first hour of posting, so during that time push your content as much as you can. The way most online algorithms work is that whatever does extremely good in the first hour continues to go viral.

Also, you can use push notifications whenever a new video or similar content is posted. The first hour makes or breaks for any video content that you post online. You need an effective marketing plan to promote your videos successfully.

  1. Use Consumer Searches

Use the comments section and the searches that the consumers make. A successful content producer is the one who keeps a close eye on what the followers want from them, what they are looking for the most. This way you can have a more responsive approach towards your content.

Remember that you want to promote content that revolves around what the consumers need from you. If you have comments and searches related to some content that you posted earlier create another video where you can give out information related to consumer responses and searches.

This way your content stays relevant and it also helps drive consumer engagement.

The key is to remember that you are not posting content only to promote yourself but its more about the customers and their needs. If you know their needs and problems you can provide solutions, answers, and help.

This way you will gain their trust and they will become loyal customers.
