Why You Should Use Videos on Social Media

October 31, 2023

At The Mina Company, we believe that video marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach your target audience on social media. Here are some reasons why:

1. Video is more engaging than other types of content
Video content is more engaging than text or images alone. According to a study by HubSpot, 54% of consumers want to see more video content from brands they support.. By using video on social media, you can capture your audience’s attention and keep them engaged with your brand.

2. Video can help you tell your brand’s story
Video is a powerful storytelling tool. By using video marketing, you can tell your brand’s story in a way that resonates with your audience. Whether you’re showcasing your products or services, or sharing your company’s mission and values, video can help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

3. Video can increase your reach on social media
Social media algorithms favor video content. By using video marketing on social media, you can increase your reach and get your brand in front of more people. According to a study by Social Media Today, video posts on Facebook have 135% greater organic reach than photo posts.

4. Video can help you build trust with your audience
Video marketing can help you build trust with your audience by showing them the people behind your brand. By featuring your team members, showcasing your company culture, or sharing customer testimonials, you can humanize your brand and build a stronger connection with your audience.

5. Video can drive conversions
Video marketing can be a powerful tool for driving conversions. According to a study by Wyzowl, 84% of consumers have been convinced to make a purchase after watching a brand’s video. By using video on social media, you can showcase your products or services in action and give your audience a reason to take action.

Now that you know why video marketing is so important, here are some tips for getting started:
Define your goals: Before you start creating video content, define your goals for video marketing. Are you trying to increase brand awareness, drive conversions, or build trust with your audience? Knowing your goals will help you create more effective video content.

Choose the right platform: Different social media platforms have different requirements and best practices for video content. Make sure you choose the right platform for your goals and audience.
Keep it short and sweet: Attention spans are short on social media, so keep your videos short and to the point. Aim for videos that are 60 seconds or less.
Use captions: Many social media users watch videos with the sound off, so make sure to include captions in your videos.
Be authentic: Authenticity is key in video marketing. Don’t be afraid to show the people behind your brand and share your company’s values and mission.
By following these tips, you can create effective video content that resonates with your audience and drives results for your business.

Conclusion

Video marketing is a powerful tool for reaching your target audience on social media. By using video content, you can increase engagement, tell your brand’s story, build trust with your audience, and drive conversions. If you’re not already using video on social media, now is the time to start.

Everyone wants the top spot on Google. Our goal is to get you there, first page and ultimately the #1 spot, in the shortest amount of time possible.

We'll be honest with you though: SEO is a long game and results take time. We tell clients to expect little movement in the first 3 months after setup, then slow, steady growth month over month, as long as you're keeping up with monthly maintenance.

The clients who win at this treat it as a long game. That's exactly how we run it, and we've got the rankings to show for it.

Ep. 5 is out now: Do It Scared ๐Ÿฅ‹

Erica gets into the part of growth nobody likes to talk about. Not the shiny goal, and not the moment you finally feel good at something, but the awkward middle where you're a beginner again, your inner voice is screaming at you to quit, and nothing is guaranteed.

It starts with her seven-year-old melting down in the car before moving up to a harder jujitsu class, and turns into the thing every business owner needs to hear. The people who make it aren't the ones who felt ready. They're the ones who did it scared and stayed in the awkward middle long enough to find their footing.

If you're standing at the edge of a big scary next step right now, this one's for you.

Listen wherever you listen to podcasts!

Read those two slides again. Same situations, two completely different responses.

One side is protecting revenue. The other is protecting you, even when the honest answer costs us the upsell, the extra scope, or the deal itself.

Open and honest communication is one of our core values, and this is what it actually looks like in practice. Not a line on our website, but the thing we choose in the moments where spinning it would be easier. Telling you what dipped. Telling you to cut what isn't working. Telling you when we might not be the right fit before you've signed anything.

That kind of honesty is uncomfortable sometimes. It's also the only thing a real relationship can be built on.

Which side has your marketing been on?

Research from the JPMorgan Chase Institute found that small business owners who use AI for admin work save about 6.8 hours a week. That's nearly a full workday, back in your hands, every week.

Sounds great. So why isn't everyone doing it?

Because most people who try get stuck. They download a tool, copy a few generic prompts, and it never quite fits how they actually work. Now you're fighting with it, redoing what it got wrong, tweaking the same prompt ten times. The thing that was supposed to save you time is quietly eating more of it.

That's the part we handle. We build AI around your business, the right tools, prompts made for your industry, workflows that run on their own, and we make sure it actually sticks. Not a download link and good luck. A setup that keeps giving that time back long after we're done.

What would you do with an extra day a week? Let's chat. theminacompany.com

Ep. 4 is out now! Avoiding the Hard ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ

Over my 14th anniversary dinner, I caught myself saying I just didn't want any more hard. And then spent two days realizing how much energy I've wasted trying to dodge the hard things instead of trusting I can get through them. 

This episode gets into grief, the anxiety that shows up even when life is good, the versions of yourself that still have a voice in your head, and learning to be the one who steps up for yourself. Business, motherhood, money, grief, the messy middle of all of it.

New episodes every Wednesday. Follow so you don't miss what's next.
