Is it worth investing in short videos? 3u4i3c
To answer this question, just look at the success of the TikTok and how it influences society in the last two years. With an active base that already exceeds one million, several discussions have been created in the “real world”. A positive point is that the contents are short and generally do not have more than a minute in length. This allows people to view the videos at different times of the day.
At the same time, as much as you have a high audience that can see your content, it is important to innovate and always invest in formats that generate engagement and, above all, be shared with other people. One of the simplest examples of how short videos are changing our society is the creation of Reels by the Instagram, which are now the greater focus of the social network.
And these shorter-term contents influence the world of music: that Involver, by Anitta, started to become popular due to people trying to imitate the carioca singer? And many other songs also made it to the top of the most listened to music list in the world and large countries due to the success on short video platforms. It is worth investing in a strategy with a series of posts on YouTube Shorts and also on TikTok to be seen more by people who may be followers of her.
