In actual fact, Cisco predicts that video will account for about 69% of total Internet traffic for consumers by the year 2017.

Here are some steps I use when creating promotional videos:

     1. PLANN    

It is crucial to create an outline before you commit your time making the video.

  • Choose the purpose of your video. What is the action you'd want viewers to take as they watch the film? Make a note of it! Make sure you are completely clear prior to proceeding further
  • What's the information you're trying to find in your video? Include specific photos or video videos you'd like to incorporate.
  • What do you want to include? Provide specific promotional events and details on the occasion Coupon codes, the need to take action.

STEP 2 STEP TWO PRODUCE

Most people become stuck due to lack of tech understanding. You don't need any tech expertise anymore! We make all of our video content for advertising on smartphones.

  • Pick the place where you'll shoot the video. Choose one of our top apps to make amazing video in five minutes or less. The best five iPhone games for video include Quik, Legend, Stop Motion, Flipagram, Ripl and Boomerang. There are some that cost money, and others provide no-cost. Many even come with templates that means you don't have to "design" everything. If you're not an expert in technology, it's possible to attempt Flipagram initially, since it's a simple slideshow.
  • Drop in your images and your personal information on the program of your choice. You should only make use of your own images or photos that you own the right to make use of. Make sure you don't copy images or images from Google!
  • Want music? There are applications that have built-in musical beds. These can assist in making your film look amazing. Take note that the majority of music included in the iTunes library are protected with copyright. You could be subject to consequences if you opt to make use of these songs in the purpose of making videos without an authorization to use the clip. (i.e. you could be legally sued), your sound could be removed, or your posts could be taken down on social media. Gaaaah!) My favorite place to purchase audio or music enhancements is The Audio Jungle.
  • After you've finished the video, you can save it in the camera roll, or directly share it through the application.

Keep in mind that if plan to post your video to Instagram your video should comprise between 3 and 30 seconds in length. Keep in mind that people's attention spans are short... So, make sure that your posts are brief.

In addition, if you'd prefer your video to appear appealing on any device, you should choose a square crop. This means that everyone has to open their mobile to view the video.

Here's an example of a video that promotes the course I posted on Instagram (about 15 minutes in duration):
