What about for your professional social media accounts?

If you don’t because you don’t have the time or you just don’t want to take a video of yourself (I sure don’t!), read on because I’m going to show you how to avoid this.

So, do you create short-form (15-60 second) videos to post to your professional social media accounts? Some do, some don’t.

I applaud you if you do. Many of us aren’t fans of taking those up-close-and-personal selfie shots - let alone selfie videos!

Making Short-Form Videos Without Doing Selfies

Picture this:

You know video content is king in the digital age, yet the thought of doing selfie videos holds you back. You're not alone in feeling selfie-shy, but you still need that visual impact to engage and attract more followers.

Solution:

Turn to Picture-in-Picture (PIP), engaging animations, dynamic slideshows, and compelling screencasts to create short-form videos that resonate with your audience. These formats allow you to produce high-quality content that aligns with your brand, without ever succumbing to the selfie stick.

See expert tip on how to avoid selfie videos using PIP below.

Why does it work?

Video content boosts engagement because it's versatile and digestible. By using animations and other creative visuals, you can convey your message effectively and stand out in crowded social media spaces.

These types of videos can simplify complex information, showcase your products vividly, and capture the essence of your services without the need for up close and personal exposure.
