Four Tips for Creating Video Content:
- Keep various aspect ratios in mind while filming. Like we mentioned earlier, 9:16 is ideal for TikTok, but that is not the case for all social platforms. Think through your filming process to optimize video assets for all channels.
- And don’t forget that 9:16 ratio is perfect for Instagram Stories! Don’t be afraid to make an Instagram Story Highlight all about TikTok. ?
- Create a checklist for all the channels you would like to use your content. This will help you during the entire production process.
- Here’s a list to get you started: TikTok, Instagram, IGTV, Instagram Stories, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. Read more about getting the most out of your creative assets here.
- Share your trending TikTok content on other social channels. As we all know, trends and memes on one social platform slowly start to make their way to other channels. For example, even if you have never downloaded the TikTok app, you have probably seen TikTok videos posted on Instagram or Facebook.
- Create a montage video to share on other social channels. Use short clips from your TikTok videos to create long-form content that can promote your TikTok on other channels, benefitting both channels at the same time.
- Quick tip: Is your brand eligible for In-Stream Ads on Facebook? If so, combine all of your TikTok videos to create a 3-minute TikTok recap! In-Stream Ads are an easy and effective way to bring in revenue by repurposing content you already have.
Implementing these tips will help you make the most of your creative budget and video projects while increasing the array of content that is found on your social channels.
