How Successful Entrepreneurs Utilize Video Content on Social Media

USING VIDEO CONTENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT IS IMPERATIVE FOR TODAY’S BUSINESSES

Chances are, you know by now how important it is to use video content on social media. Studies continue to show again and again just how effective video content is when it comes to social media marketing. For instance, did you know that social media videos generate 1200% more shares than text and images combined?

But here’s the thing… just knowing the importance of video isn’t enough. You have to know how to strategically create and utilize that video content for maximum results. And one of the best ways to learn that is by looking to fellow entrepreneurs and business owners. We will break down how a few major entrepreneurs successfully use video content on social media to grow their businesses.

HOW THESE 4 ENTREPRENEURS USE VIDEO CONTENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Daymond John is an investor on Shark Tank, author of The Power of Broke, and founder/president of FUBU, an incredibly popular clothing line.

His most prominently featured video content typically features split-screen interviews that he’s done with other entrepreneurs and business owners. You’ll notice that these videos are not usually highly polished or professional, but they always include an eye-catching headline to pique viewers’ interest. Along with these videos, Daymond re-shares a good number of funny/motivational videos created by other accounts and posts some quick snippets of his daily life.
