Two minutes max!
When you develop a video for a marketing campaign keep it under 2 minutes. You want your target audience to enjoy the entire message, and if it is too long you will potentially lose your audience as they click off. If needed, you can always continue a thought or message in a follow up video.
No techies here
Make your videos for the layperson. If technical language is needed, make a second video to provide a much deeper insight into the subject for the more sophisticated audience.
We can't all be professionals
Do not attempt to pretend if you are not truly a professional on a subject. The very best way to address that is by talking to people on video that are professionals in your niche. A trade convention or workshop is a fantastic place to fulfill people that will not mind doing a video.
Be clear and to the point
In your video marketing, let the viewer know why it is that you provide the service or product that you do. They can quickly see what you offer, however let them know the reason behind it. Open, candid and authentic interaction engenders trust, which engages new audience and retains previous purchasers.

Videos can be an unpredictable piece of work. If you can do something in your video which is surprising and yet not tacky or lame, you will capture your audience and they will share the video with family and friends. Opt for cute, funny or shocking and prevent gruesome or juvenile humor as much as possible.

Good afternoon John,
This was well explained, good post.
I have not reached the video level myself yet but understand the potential it has.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske
Thanks for this John. I'm just getting prepared to make my very first video ever! It's going to be a training video of me putting together a specific machine that I purchased for use in my niche. I'm both excited and nervous about it, and hardly know what I'm doing, especially when it comes to editing videos and such. But I will learn.
