Don’t give up on Facebook just because you are finding it difficult to build an audience.

Videos are hot now so make videos for your page. If something else comes along then you will have to adapt to the times but for now, you should be focusing on videos.

Below are some easy tips to help you create some exciting videos that people will want to share on their Facebook newsfeed.

Simple And To The Point

Simple instruction videos do well on Facebook. Create a short video on how to take care of art supplies, or explain a simple art technique that will help an artist enhance their artistic skills.

Keep in mind that people are on Facebook to escape for a few moments. Simple How-To videos will keep their interest longer and if you have a more detailed blog post relating to the video, link to it in the description box. This will motivate your viewers to visit your art blog.

Shorter Videos Receive More Engagement

Shorter videos do better than longer videos. 2 minutes seem to be the sweet spot. Try to get your message across in two minutes or less.

This will be more difficult than you think.

Try making a series if you are having a difficult time keeping your videos less than two minutes. This strategy might encourage your following to visit your page more frequently.
