#4. Call to action

According to a statistic revealed by VentureBeat, video boost engagement that is approximately seven times more effective than traditional banners. So, that accounts for a stronger call to action while creating an effective video marketing strategy. You will find this option while uploading your video on Facebook. Make sure that you link it to the right landing page as you cannot edit your CTA once you uploaded it.

#5. Precious seconds

Try to grab your audience’s attention in two-three seconds of beginning or you may not get it at all. Whether it is YouTube or Facebook, boring beginning will be scrolled out easily. Edit longer videos to create the shorter version. For instance, a 10 minute video on how to propose a girl could be edited down to a 2 minute video displaying only important points. Then, you can link that video to your main blog post. You should choose the best frame possible for the still images of your video if you are not using autoplay.

#6. Pay for video ads with optimized oCPM

You may find this costlier than the normal CPM (cost per mile) bidding, but the actual cost will be lower at the end. This is indeed the most remarkable to find viewers within your specified price point when you pay per view with oCPM. It will not just reduce your cost per video view, but will show better insights for the ad. This is a must if you want to target the people who are more likely to take the desired action.

#7. Promote, promote, promote

One of the easiest ways to promote your video is to click on the boost button on the video post. It is much simpler than using the full-featured ad to intensify your content reach. Opt for video views if you are working on your power editor or ad manager. You might hear it many times that creating a custom audience is not required, but it will indeed help you strengthen your future campaigns.
