If you are looking to step up your Instagram game, we’re here to help. If you are trying to become more popular, build a personal brand or maybe a business, video is a crucial part of your strategy.<\/p>\n

But not any kind of video will do the job, especially on Instagram. You want to create videos that get hundreds of thousands of views, tons of comments, likes, and more followers. Here’s how to find success on Instagram.<\/p>\n

5 tips that will make your Instagram videos pop<\/h2>\n

1. Make it catchy right from the start<\/h3>\n

Our collective attention span is terrible these days. According to this research<\/a>, humans now have an attention span of roughly eight seconds<\/strong>, which puts us just under a goldfish, which can focus for a monumental nine seconds.<\/p>\n

How crazy is that?<\/p>\n

You need to make the first few seconds really, really catchy. Otherwise, the people will continue to scroll down and your video will get no views.<\/p>\n

You can make a video really catchy in just two simple steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ditch the intro.<\/strong> Nobody wants to know your name, where you are from or your life history. Get right to the point and tell or show people what you can do for them or what you are all about.<\/li>\n
  2. Make it either really funny or emotional.<\/strong> Or both at the same time if you can. Videos that entertain or touch people\u2019s emotion are more likely to grab their attention.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So definitely put some thought into your video before you actually start filming. You can even write a short script for it.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t worry about telling people to follow you, or trying to sell them anything. If they like your video they will be more likely to follow you and they can become customers down the road.<\/p>\n

    For example, the guys over at GoPro do a really good job at it without trying to sell anything in the video.<\/p>\n
