Facebook has rolled our their latest numbers. As you can see it continues to grow. There are 1.44 billion people active on Facebook every month.
The big growth came in video views. They have jumped up 1 billion since January! I bet you really aren’t surprised by this news being that there are so many videos showing up on the newsfeed now.
How can you take advantage of this new video trend?
1. Create videos with your Facebook audience in mind.
2. Keep your videos short. Unless it’s instructional people tend to buzz though videos fairly quickly.
3. Upload your videos directly to your Facebook page. Videos uploaded directly vs sharing Youtube links get a ton of more exposure.
4. Use the “pages manager” app to monitor your Facebook page, upload videos and post updates when you are on the go away from your laptop.
5. Embed your Facebook videos in your blog, transcribe them and use them for your blog posts as well.
6. According to COO Sheryl Sandberg, more than 75% of video views on Facebook come from mobile devices. Facebook is set up for mobile viewers.
Don’t delay, begin incorporating videos into your marketing right away!
