Is video appropriate for a LinkedIn business profile and if yes, why?
I believe Linkedin (and other social networks) trends are geared very much towards personal branding, hence your best bet is to start with vlogging aka documenting your business journey.
For this type of video, you only need a smartphone and you are good to go 🙂
The more frequent you`ll vlog, the faster your following will grow. …considering you provide value to the prospects.
Because Linkedin’s algorithm is heavy on the video, it rewards video publishers accordingly with an increased reach.
The type of videos you can leverage at Linkedin
- blogging
- sharing a Youtube video (note that reach is lower compared to uploading video to Linkedin)
- quote videos
- video interviews (zoom, skype, etc)
- news/trend storytelling videos
- new in portfolio
- recycled interview clips,
- recycled viral clips, movies and music

Are social media videos the new way of communicating a brand’s message to customers?
Yes, definitely, if we look at Linkedin stats, they say that 80% of senior executives watch more online video today, it’s a great place to target these people and sell with the help of videos.
Out of 51% of video marketers who have used LinkedIn video as a channel, 84% found it to be an effective strategy.
Prospect wise, you benefit with an increased trust as we, people are visual beings and we can subconsciously tell if the person we are following and watching is safe and trustworthy to do a business with.
What are the characteristics of a video that captures visitors’ attention?
The basic formula is to:
- confidence
- technical setup: light and microphone
- keep video short, max 2 min
- focus on one problem and solution
- use title header and footer with subtitles
- at the end ask question, so they can comment the answer
- …always provide value by expecting nothing in the return
- show your stand, values and beliefs, …don’t`t be afraid of negative comments (the more stand you`ll have the more you’ll be attacked)
How to create an engaging and eye-capturing YouTube thumbnail?
The best approach with thumbnail is to create so called “pattern interrupt” graphics strong with words, so the prospect is more likely to click on it.
What advice would you give to our readers so that they make less mistakes with video creation?
Based on my experience, it all comes down to “who you are” or “who do you want to become”. If this is clear, then the whole process of video creation is fun and natural. Or by other words, you are in your own flow 🙂
Next, if you want to scale, you need to find a reliable post production partner, who can make your videos more engaging and fun to watch. The best example for personal vloggin is Shay Rowbottom https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayrowbottom/
So, before it gets too late, it’s better to ride the wave and get the most out of LinkedIn videos.
