  3. Tell a story – Use video to build emotional connections with your audience by telling your brand’s story. Your story should be about what you offer and how it can benefit your audience. Similarly use video to discuss case studies, ask questions and respond to your audience’s questions, make behind the scene videos or even share testimonials. Vary the type of videos to keep your audience interested and engaged with your brand and business.
  4. Optimise your words – Like most sites you use online, you’ll need to use your keywords in your titles, tags and descriptions to improve your search engine rankings. A catchy title is also a bonus. But as long as your video is relevant and useful to your audience, you shouldn’t have any problems in boosting your rankings.
  5. Align video with your brand – It’s important to ensure that your video clearly incorporates your brand identity and key messages, as well as supports and builds your brand through style, pace and quality. The best videos understand how a brand needs to communicate through video to match the essence of what the brand stands for.
  6. Track and test  – Tracking and testing your video is vital to finding out new ways in making videos that your audience respond well to.

Remember to include a link to your website or landing page in your video description, this can be a very effective way to not only drive traffic to your website but to also help to convert your visitors into potential customers!
