Was anyone else wondering why their Instagram feed started to look like TikTok? The new Instagram update looks a lot different & the intention of it is to prioritize video content. This is part of Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri’s master plan to
push Instagram to be more than photo sharing.
The shift towards consuming video content happened in the blink of an eye. Since TikTok began to multiply worldwide, more and more marketers and consumers have spent hours a day scrolling through TikToks, reels, or Youtube shorts.
Not implementing videos into your marketing plan is no longer an option for marketers. Videos are everywhere.
What many small business marketers are thinking right now is “videos aren’t for us” but this just isn’t true!
People spend an average of 100 minutes a day watching videos online and many individuals seek tutorials or educational content.
Get Started Creating Video Content
Creating video content doesn’t require thousands of dollars of video equipment: you just need a smartphone. Start out with something easy:
- Take a bunch of short clips of your product, your team, an event, etc., and mix them together with a popular sound on the platform.
- Record yourself giving a tutorial.
- Give a tip with a fun sound in the background.
Have fun with it and eventually the ideas will start flowing and video content creation will feel natural - and hopefully fun.
