Here\u2019s the scenario: you made a video and you know it\u2019s awesome. But how can you make sure people will actually stop and watch?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. But there are steps you can take to improve your chances of getting more eyeballs glued to your video.<\/p>\n

1. Attention Grabbing Thumbnail<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first thing anyone will see is a preview image,\u00a0so make it a good one.<\/strong>\u00a0Pick something that\u2019s alluring but still gives viewers an idea of what your video is about.<\/p>\n

2. Catchy Title<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Along with seeing the thumbnail, potential viewers will read the title of your video to decide if they want to watch. To create an intriguing title that is sure to attract clicks, provide the setup then promise the rest of the story will be revealed in the video.\u00a0Bonus points if you can also guarantee an emotional reaction:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBest present ever \u2013 you\u2019ll cry when you see what this girl\u2019s mother bought her for Christmas\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Cut to the Chase<\/strong><\/h3>\n

4. Choose the Right Venue<\/strong><\/h3>\n
