Use Trends to Connect with Your Audience

People are generally interested in the most talked about topics and other things that are trending. Connecting your videos to these trends will be a very effective way to get the attention of your viewers.

If you want to create a trending video, you can look at those trends that your demographic is currently into. You should also ensure that such trends are somehow related to your brand.

Create Clickable Thumbnails

Videos with more attractive thumbnails are proven to have more click-through rates. If you want your videos to have more views and likes, then your thumbnails should be such that viewers cannot just scroll over.

Facebook does not allow customizable thumbnails. So a good way to do this is by selecting an attractive image that Facebook produces from the video you uploaded.

Should I Publish My Videos on Facebook or YouTube?

You are a content creator who creates engaging content and would like your content to reach a lot of people. But now you are on a crossed road; will it be Facebook or YouTube?

This is the question in the mind of most content creators, and the short answer to this question is, take both options. Uploading directly on Facebook means that your videos will appear on native feed while uploading on YouTube means that you can share them via link to other platforms.

Although using both options may be stressful and time-consuming, I am going to tell you why you should do so.

Glad it came in handy, Jennifer! Posting videos on Facebook works in great ways but you need to build a lot of trust to gain maximum results.

Good afternoon my dear friend, love the blog, however, being involved in affiliate marketing and being a part of wealthy affiliate since April 2018 and then on every social media platform and making very good money from doing it. I must disagree with you, posting your videos on Facebook is a great idea however, before you do it you must build up trust throughout Facebook and other social media platforms. If you build up trust which will take you some time people will share your videos people ,will listen to you and people will buy from you, but the trust must be there. It took me a while to build up that trust, but it's in place and it works, not only for me for a whole bunch of other internet marketers. However keep in mind, when you make your post posted on all of the social media platforms at the same time including YouTube. May good health and prosperity be always with you.

Well one of the reasons I did so my dear friend, it's because a lot of newbies whatever servers they are offering or whatever they're trying to sell they come out of the gate believe that they have the best deal in the entire world not realizing more than likely there's a thousand others that are offering similar services or similar products. And they beging to spam everybody, not realizing that what they're actually doing is getting a whole bunch of people upset and because they have not communicated with them before, those people probably will never do business with them all because they didn't take the time to communicate and build up trust. And I was one of those newbies back in 2018, and I had to learn the hard way no one told me. Which damage my progress in a very big way, however, my friend, I am happy to say my audience trust me, and do business with me all because of communication. Have an awesome weekend Israel Olatunji.

Thank you Israel,
Facebook makes it clear that videos posted directly on its platform gains more engagement than video posted via other platforms like YouTube
