Facebook Video Upload Tips

FACEBOOK VIDEO UPLOAD TIPS

If you would have come to me in the past – and asked me about putting video on your Facebook page – I would have recommended that you uploaded your video to YouTube, and embedded that video into one of your Facebook posts – and that would have been it. Nowadays things have changed a bit with uploading video to Facebook. There are new algorithms, patterns and practices to make sure your video gets the most views, likes, comments and shares on Facebook ! Here are some simple tips to get started :

1. Upload videos to Facebook. -Facebook videos get better traction than YouTube links.

2. Don’t copy and paste from YouTube. -Use Facebook directly.

3. Catch user’s attention. – The videos automatically play when a user scrolls past. -Big opening .

4. Draw them in with text after an exciting first few seconds to get their attention and interest. -Without audio, text will be needed to draw people in.
