A gold fish’s attention span is 6 seconds whereas a Human Being’s attention span now is at 3 seconds. We have become that busy & we consume information through the means of Videos which will create immediate interest & make us see more.

Netflix is the biggest entertainment company for a reason – its video content.

An inspiring video makes you think,
An emotional video makes you engaged
A positive video changes your day.

How can I create a Video you ask???

Simple, use your smartphone. On Instagram, you can only update 1-minute videos on Facebook though you can update videos which can be 1 hour long too.

So depending on your marketing platform choose the video duration.

3. Screenshots
