Remember the 4 Rules when submitting your videos:
1) Have An Impact Starting
It is something so simple yet so many people out there tend to miss out. The average person attention span on a website is 3 second . This 3 second creates the first impression that a person have and this will affect if they are going to stay on the site or not.
Likewise, the first few second of the video will determine if the video is worth watching. When you watch your video ask yourself these questions:
-In the first 15 second => Do I get the point of the Video?
-In the first 30 second => have I learned anything new? Experience something different? Am I entertained?
-In the first minute => Why should I go on?
2) Keep it Short And Sweet
You want your viewers to remember your videos. Therefore it is important to keep your videos short. If you want, break down a long video into several parts. Each not taking more than 10 minutes. 10 minutes is the maximum for viral videos, any thing longer than that is a training video which may entertain, but not necessary make a person share it with someone else.
3) Only Have One Message
Studies have shown that people can only remember up to 10 points in a Video. Out of these 10 points, only 3 of them would have any impact on the person directly. Better yet, if you are able to focus your ten minute on just one point, you not only get their full attention but you are also able to give more value to your viewer. On the long run, you are letting your view know that you are someone who provides quality content for them.
4) Have a Call to Action
This is to let your viewers know that once they finished watching your video, that should share it with their friends. They can twitter it, facebook it or even blog about it. Whatever the case it, let them know exactly what they should do.
