A recent report by Socialbakers confirms why Facebook video should be a major priority for marketing your music.

In a 6 month study of 670,000 posts Socialbakers found that Facebook video posts have double the reach of photos; that means twice as many of your Facebook fans will see a video post compared to a photo post.

Look at the reach of videos compared to other types of posts.

In summary: if you want fans to see your posts, use Facebook video! 

• Keep your videos short, ideally between 15 and 30 seconds. Perhaps use ‘talking heads’ to discuss your upcoming gigs and releases rather than a plain old text status.
• Place your message at the start of the clip (perhaps have a clear title screen for a couple of seconds which details what the video is about

“YOUR BAND NAME,  LONDON GIG, SATURDAY 31ST OCTOBER”.

• Videos will auto play without sound, can you caption your video in such a way that people can get the message with no audio?
