Plus, videos are quicker to consume, so potential customers are often more likely to choose watching a video over reading a lengthy social media post.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Increasing awareness of your business:<\/strong> Brand recall (the likelihood of someone being able to recognise your brand from memory) from videos is 85% higher than written posts, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialfilms.co.uk\/blog\/video-marketing-statistics-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Social Films<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Winning new customers:<\/strong> London-based flooring specialist, IdealFlooring, has had new jobs come through from TikTok. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/tiktok-tradespeople-going-viral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about tradespeople going viral on TikTok<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7 tips for creating social media videos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Know your dimensions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your video will look its best when you make sure it fits your chosen social media platform\u2019s requirements. If you don\u2019t, then your video could be uploaded in a poor quality, which will reduce the number of views you\u2019ll get. Social media video specs change often, so it\u2019s important to keep up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Guidelines for feed videos<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Social media platform<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Video orientation available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Recommended size (width:height)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Max length<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Facebook<\/td><td>Landscape and portrait<\/td><td>16:9 (landscape) or 9:16 (portrait)<\/td><td>240 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Instagram<\/td><td>Landscape, square and portrait<\/td><td>16:9 (landscape), 1:1 (square) or 4:5 (portrait)<\/td><td>2 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Twitter<\/td><td>Landscape and portrait<\/td><td>16:9 or 1:1 (square)<\/td><td>2 minutes and 30 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YouTube<\/td><td>Landscape and portrait<\/td><td>16:9 or 4:3 (YouTube will add a frame around the latter)<\/td><td>12 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TikTok<\/td><td>Portrait and landscape<\/td><td>9:16<\/td><td>60 seconds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pinterest<\/td><td>Square and portrait<\/td><td>1:1 (square) or 2:3 (portrait)<\/td><td>15 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Snapchat<\/td><td>Square and portrait<\/td><td>9:16<\/td><td>10 seconds<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Sources<\/span><\/em><br><em>Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and YouTube: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/social-media-video-specs-guide\/\"><em>Sprout Social<\/em><\/a><em> \u2013 correct as of February 2021<\/em>.<br><em>TikTok: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/influencermarketinghub.com\/tiktok-video-size\/\"><em>Influencer Marketing Hub<\/em><\/a><em> \u2013 correct as of March 2021<\/em>.<br><em>Pinterest: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/help.pinterest.com\/en-gb\/business\/article\/pinterest-product-specs\"><em>Pinterest<\/em><\/a><em> \u2013 correct as of May 2021.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Engage with your viewers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/05\/social-media-videos-2.jpg\" alt=\"Plumber filming repair process\" class=\"wp-image-37969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171926\/social-media-videos-2.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171926\/social-media-videos-2-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first few seconds are essential when it comes videos \u2013 most people lose their concentration after that! Grab your viewers\u2019 attention within the first 10 seconds with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A short title<\/strong> that says what you\u2019ll be talking about in the video. This\u2019ll get people to click on your video.<\/li><li><strong>A clear intro <\/strong>that addresses a problem that homeowners can relate to. That could be something like a common issue that you\u2019re often called out to fix, such as a plumbing problem or a nuisance weed in your customers\u2019 gardens. That way, your viewers will know exactly what you\u2019re going to talk about in the video and how it can help them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also interact with your potential customers in real time during a livestream. Lots of people will feel more comfortable talking to you during a livestream as it\u2019s less of a sales environment and they\u2019re in the comfort of their own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Keep it short and sweet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With attention spans being so short, it\u2019s important that your videos pack all the information that you want your viewer to know into a brief video. State the points you want to make without rambling, to make your videos easy to understand and digest. Then, include a call-to-action at the end telling the viewer where they can go for more information \u2013 whether that\u2019s by calling you, visiting your website or emailing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start filming, write down the points you want to cover in your video to keep yourself on track. If you find yourself getting off topic easily, try writing a short script to follow as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, shorter videos are quicker to film, so you should find you\u2019ll have a quicker turnaround time when it comes to getting your video filmed and posted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Tell your story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/05\/social-media-videos-3.jpg\" alt=\"Builder filming social media videos on mobile phone\" class=\"wp-image-37968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171920\/social-media-videos-3.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171920\/social-media-videos-3-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media videos can help you stand out from your competitors by bringing a face to your name and therefore humanising your business. Your videos will help potential customers get familiar with your business and show why they should hire you. So, show off your personality and you\u2019ll become more relatable to the everyday homeowner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Vary your video content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst shorter videos are great for grabbing your viewers\u2019 attention, there are some topics that need more time to be explored. There are plenty of different ways that you can use video on social media, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Feed videos:<\/strong> Appear as people scroll through social media.<\/li><li><strong>Livestreams:<\/strong> Available on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok.<\/li><li><strong>Long-form videos:<\/strong> Instagram TV (IGTV) allows you to post videos of up to one hour long.<\/li><li><strong>Temporary content that expires after 24 hours:<\/strong> Available on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Plan your videos in advance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/05\/social-media-videos-4.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling cleaner holding smartphone\" class=\"wp-image-37967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171914\/social-media-videos-4.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/05\/14171914\/social-media-videos-4-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency is essential to see results. Plan your video content to fit in around your day-to-day work by asking homeowners you\u2019ve got booked in if you can film your work whilst you\u2019re in their home. That way, you\u2019ll build up a calendar of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Get the most use out of your videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve filmed and uploaded your video, make sure it reaches as many people as possible by posting it across all your social media platforms, where relevant. If you\u2019re doing a livestream on one social media platform, you can share the link across your other platforms too. Remember to save your livestreams, so they\u2019re available as permanent videos once you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an email newsletter, include your videos in them to add some variety and increase your click-through rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send your videos to us and we\u2019ll share them with our followers!
