While that may not be an eternal truth, it really pays for most businesses to incorporate Facebook video into their marketing efforts today.<\/p>\n<h2>Strategies for Incorporating Facebook Video into Your Marketing<\/h2>\n<p>Users are naturally drawn to video vs. still images and text posts in their feeds. And strategically, Facebook wants advertisers to put video content onto its platform instead of arch-rival Google\u2019s YouTube. Therefore, it is currently incentivizing advertisers with especially low costs for video vs. still ads. Even on a tiny budget, you\u2019ll see video costs per engagement at about a penny, while simple event or image post boosts might be in the $1 to $2 range.<\/p>\n<p>So, now that you\u2019re persuaded to check out Facebook video, what are some silver bullet strategies you should consider?<\/p>\n<h3>Create Facebook Video Content Even When You Don\u2019t Have Video<\/h3>\n<p>First, you don\u2019t even have to have video to gain improved impressions and click through rates for video content. How is this possible? Several low cost or free platforms allow you to take still photos and add programmatic movement and soundtracks. You\u2019ll find that Facebook treats these types of boosted posts with the same super-low cost per click you\u2019ll get in the video world\u2014around 2 cents per click.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been using the freemium mobile app RIPL. It\u2019s very easy to take a photo and select moving text to capture user attention. For $9.99 a month you can remove the watermark and add a variety of musical soundtracks.<\/p>\n<p>There are a plethora of other applications available (many PC-based) that perform the same function with varying degrees of sophistication. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-is-the-best-application-for-making-a-video-out-of-photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-is-the-best-application-for-making-a-video-out-of-photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Add Impact with Subtitles<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that most videos are viewed with the sound off? Kelsey Carroll, Social Media strategist with HPE, conducted a study indicating that 92% of videos were viewed with the sound off. Why? Perhaps people are watching during another meeting, multi-tasking in an open office environment, or viewing while a partner watches TV or sleeps.<\/p>\n<p>The takeaway? You need subtitles on your videos. Fortunately, Facebook makes it easy to do this once you decide to run an ad or boost it. Alternatively, you can add captions via file or from YouTube. Mari Smith explains the nitty-gritty in this post under step #10 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marismith.com\/9-tips-for-better-facebook-video-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.marismith.com\/9-tips-for-better-facebook-video-ads\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Start with Compelling Images<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your first three seconds should grab the viewer\u2019s attention with movement and visual appeal. Avoid video title slides and dramatic build-ups like the plague! Edit yourself ruthlessly. If someone saw only the first three seconds of the video, would they want to continue watching? If not, rethink your introduction.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Facebook provides several optional thumbnails for you to select from that serve as the first split-second image a viewer sees, as well as the \u201ccatalog\u201d shot that shows the video in your Facebook Page video file index.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes these canned thumbnails look weird, especially if your video features a person speaking or singing. It\u2019s amazing how often eyes are closed and mouths oddly open! I recommend you take some still shots similar to the first video scenes so you can upload a better thumbnail image if needed. You\u2019ll want to keep it the same aspect ratio as the video, which is typically 16:9. You can put limited text on the thumbnail, but be careful as too much text will penalize delivery (meaning ads become more expensive).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">For Facebook Video, Keep It Short and Sweet<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Facebook viewers are scrolling and browsing. It isn\u2019t the place for a longer video. Keep the video under 2 minutes. Many consider 30 seconds to be ideal. If you have a more complex topic that requires more time, break it up into several shorter videos, or lead into more content on your website. As <a href=\"https:\/\/getnoticedwithvideo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tanya Smith says, keep it \u201csnackable<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Call to Action<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be so focused on the video that you forget about the basics of a good social post. Write a strong lead-in post text that poses a question and hints that the video has the answer. Don\u2019t forget your hot links! If you\u2019re promoting an event, link to the Facebook event URL. And always link to your website, and hot link anyone featured in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Second, once you\u2019ve decided to boost the post or run an ad, take advantage and \u201cAdd a button\u201d which lets the user click through to \u201cLearn More,\u201d \u201cShop Now,\u201d \u201cGet Directions,\u201d etc. I\u2019ve seen higher responses from simply adding the Call To Action button than I\u2019ve gotten from spending 5X as much on the advertising budget!<\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Facebook-Video-Example.png\" alt=\"Facebook Video Example\" width=\"486\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Facebook-Video-Example.png 486w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Facebook-Video-Example-300x296.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Facebook-Video-Example-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Sprinkle in Facebook Live<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Facebook Live is a live video broadcast feature that works especially well for event-oriented organizations and solo practitioners selling a professional service. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/live-streaming-events\/\">Facebook Live<\/a> videos receive disproportionate views just like regular video. To use Facebook Live effectively include advance promotion\u00a0since most of the views occur when it\u2019s LIVE. Further, be sure that your broadcast site has excellent Wi-Fi. Outdoor venues frequently have weak Wi-Fi, which results in lower quality video. When video quality is poorer, Facebook won\u2019t deliver to a very big audience. So sprinkle in some Facebook Live into your content marketing plan, but don\u2019t bet the farm on it.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">Boost It!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created some compelling video content and optimized it using these silver bullet strategies, it\u2019s time to take aim at your target market and fire off a good ad campaign. Just pick an\u00a0audience, a budget, and a duration, and you\u2019re ready to hit that penny a response \u201cBullseye!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using these 7 strategies will help get any business started with using Facebook video, which will attract more viewers and followers.<\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=7+Strategies+to+Get+Started+Using+%23Facebook+%23Video+by+%40LaurieShook+%23RocksDigital&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/creating-effective-facebook-video\/' target='_blank'>7 Strategies to Get Started Using #Facebook #Video by @LaurieShook #RocksDigital<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=7+Strategies+to+Get+Started+Using+%23Facebook+%23Video+by+%40LaurieShook+%23RocksDigital&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/creating-effective-facebook-video\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Have you tried Facebook video?
