This is why your videos don't get views!
Your videos are soulless garbage floating in the sea of social media content.
Why my short-form videos are not getting views?
Short answer - Because you don’t know what you are doing
Now let me give you a long, honest, and brutal answer
Let’s dive deep
No clear reason
Before posting every video
Ask yourself - What is the point of this video?
To get followers?
To get views?
To get sales?
To build authority?
To build trust?
What is it?
Step back and focus on the fundamentals for a moment.
You need a solid foundation for your short-form videos to work in your favor.
You are not getting views because you are driving a car with no clear destination.
In order to reach any destination safely:
You want a well-functioning car
You need fuel
You need driving skills
You need a defined destination and
You need proper directions
Start with absolute clarity!
The Strategy
Your videos don’t get views because they have no personality. There are no stories and there are no emotions
Your videos are soulless garbage floating in the sea of social media content.
Your videos are just a resistance keeping scrollers away from their dopamine and wasting their time when your videos should act as an enabler for the viewers!
3 Tips, 5 hacks, 2 tools
Stop it!
You need depth and nuance in your videos, people are tired of shallow content.
Give them something worth watching.
Give them value for their time!
Target Audience
Your videos should help, inspire, solve problems, and provide solutions to your target market.
Your videos don’t get views because you don’t know who is watching your videos!
College students?
Working professionals?
Single men?
Housewives?
Get clarity about your ideal viewers and what are their pain and problems.
Now create short-form videos that solve their pains and problems.
Very few creators really understand this and keep creating videos that they like to create, ignoring the needs and motivations of their viewers
As a video creator, your job is to stay true to your creative art but also to keep viewers’ interests in mind.
There is nothing wrong with just focusing on your art as well but with that strategy, you won’t make money!
The structure
You are competing in a sea of content, serving non-stop scrollers
Get a good hook
Add stories for retention and
Remove the CTAs(waste of time)
Have a structure in your video if you are serious about getting views on your videos.
Platform context
Lifestyle, infotainment, highly produced content works on Instagram
Stories and controversies work on YouTube
Content that is highly shareable works better on Instagram compared to YouTube because sharing is easy on Instagram, it is not on YouTube.
Keep the context in mind always.
Context will help you make smarter decisions and will always help you get better views on your videos!
It’s ever ever-changing space but if there is one thing that stays constant is human psychology. Learn how to navigate in cohesion with it and you will succeed with videos!
Keep creating art!
