1. Use motion graphics for event invites and social media posts.
Show the mood, style, and information about your upcoming event or offer with a short animation that can be linked to emails or posted on social media.
2. Stand Out in Social Media
Stand out in the sea of posts, tweets, snaps, and messages. Having custom motion graphics can get you a better return on investment (ROI) for your marketing efforts than almost anything else out there.
Start with a Motion Graphics template or import your own short video into any templates. The motion graphics are quick to load on social media, can loop indefinitely, and are easy to make.
Watch the video above and create one step-by-step.

Research Your Competitors Social Media Analytics
By looking up your direct competitors (channels about the same size as yours within your same niche) you’ll be able to see what content is performing best for them.
So, if you’re researching YouTube, you’ll find out which videos get them the most interaction. You can then look at what type of video, content, title, and thumbnail graphic they’re using on their top videos.
Pay particular attention to the thumbnail graphic of successful videos. This image is the first thing to catch the attention of your audience when they’re scanning YouTube’s video content.
Create YouTube Channel Graphics to Improve Your Analytics
So, make a bright, colorful thumbnail for each YouTube video or get some ideas from the top videos in your niche. And, try putting new thumbnail images on old videos that are missing a stunning graphic.
Knowing what is working for your rivals will help you design your own YouTube graphics and content strategy.
You can also use Social Blade to look up YouTube influencers (super successful YouTubers), to see how much money they’re actually making. Take their estimated revenue with a grain of salt, though – it’s just an estimate.
That’s how you can use Social Blade for YouTube – try it now!
People go nuts over top 10 lists… top 10 tools, top 10 blogs, top 10 places to go… you name it. Just list the 10 most important things related to your niche topic. Then use this information in a list format to educate or entertain your readers.
You’ll get more traffic, more clicks, and more engagement by creating your own TOP 10 blog, article, or video.
It’s super easy to do and viewers will pass it around because the content is sooooo easy to read (just scan it!) and share. You can even break down a complicated topic into small chunks, making the article more likely to get read.
How to Create a Top 10 List
First, decide what others need you to share in your niche. Then decide on a headline for your list article.
Some examples of good top 10 list headlines include: 10 Ways to Eat a Pineapple, 10 Design Tools You Need in 2020, or 10 Super Smoothies That’ll Give You More Energy
Keep your list informative but fairly simple. The best thing about list articles is that they are great content because they involve quick, “bite-sized” content. So, don’t ruin your article (or video) by adding unnecessary words.
Write Your Own Top 10 List
So, here’s what you can do today: Right after you watch the video, create a product comparison guide. After all, your potential customer has SO many products to choose from.
Help them find your product or service in a list of 10 services that are compatible with yours. You don’t need to use direct competitors, but do include resources that your own audience might need.
If you do decide to compare your biz with competitors, be objective and fair, but make sure there is:
1. a noticeable advantage in buying from you,
2. or make it clear that what you offer is a better fit for a specific audience (perhaps your money management program is geared towards young adults as opposed to retirees).
For example, if you walk or train dogs… you can create a Top 10 list of the products needed for training (and then make sure you insert one of your own training products into the list).
Or – you can name the Top 10 websites that your customers may need that enhance your own services (and of course, add your own website onto the list).
Make a Graphic for your Blog, Article, or Video
To entice viewers to read your article, make sure it catches their eye by creating a stunning page header with The Graphics Creator (watch the video above to see how easy it is).
Chances are good that customers will share your Top 10 list. And, since you’ve snuck in your own product or service as one of the list-items, your product or service is actually getting passed around the great, wide internet!
It’s a creative and valuable way to gain some traffic.
