Creating More Engaging Videos - Eight Tips You Can't Ignore

When someone tells you to be engaging when you are creating a video to market the products that you are selling, it might leave you wondering exactly what they are talking about as engaging can be a very subjective concept. On a very basic level, and engaging video is one that will motivate people to keep watching, or that will prompt them to check out what you have to offer on your website. There are many ways to accomplish this, making sure that your efforts to build the best video possible that will not only engage the viewer, but cause them to share the video with others that they know, this can be achieved by using the following eight strategies.

1. Eliminate The Talking Head

One of the worst formats that you can use for a video is to have a talking head. This may have been interesting at one point in time in the distant past when video first came out, but if all you see is a person talking, with nothing else in the background, you are going to run the other direction. The only way to improve upon this, other than remove the talking head completely, is to have quite a bit going on in the background. Interviews are good, and tutorials with speakers can also be useful, but try to do something a little more innovative than simply talked into your screen thinking that this is going to motivate people to continue watching.
