I just read some stats from videobrewery.com:
10 seconds
That’s how long you have to grab the attention of viewers in a video marketing clip, (research by Visible Measures). You’ll lose 20% of your viewers in 10 seconds, about 1/3 of them by 30 seconds, 45% of them by 1 minute and almost 60% by 2 minutes.
Why do viewers tune out?
The videos shouldn’t be about you. Videos should be for your customers. If you have a clear picture of your customers, you can give them something of value that they will want to watch.
Perhaps you can help your customers…
- Improve their bottom line
- Ease their pain
- Solve a problem
- Show them how to do something
- Answer their question (FAQs)
- Get tips to help them in their business
- Understand the benefit they will get from doing business with you

What do you mean it’s not about me?? 😉
I love this advice! Working in social media, I regularly coach my clients to share more about who they are and to provide information that people CARE about instead of just posting all about themselves. Their audience will appreciate it!
Glad to hear it! And I think that the more social media is about the clients than about the business owner, the more the clients will connect!
Thanks Arline. I can’t say the concept is new to me, but what to do about it, is. Much appreciated.
