Identify what’s the purpose of creating a video for your business. Is it about launching a new product/service? Or is it going to be promoting your brand? Perhaps, inviting your audience to an event you are hosting? Whatever is your purpose, make sure it will be nicely presented throughout the video.
Set a specific period or date for you to complete your video. It may be in a weeks time or two months from now. Be sure you got your resources covered throughout your expected timeline.
Well, the run time of your video depends on the type of campaign you are trying to promote. It doesn’t really have to be long unless needed. For Facebook videos, it ranges from 30 seconds to 2 minutes but the ideal length would be around 60 to 90 seconds. While on Youtube, the average length on a daily basis is around 8 minutes.
For podcasts and interview types of videos, it can be 30 minutes or more than an hour. There is also live streaming for both video platforms which doesn’t really require any editing skills and may have a longer duration that usual.
