5 Envato Tuts+ Tips for Tech Videos
- Know Your Audience. Try to cover a small area well, rather than doing too much and spreading yourself thin. An easy way to find and grow your audience is by working on making content for the niche you really like. That could be video game hardware, mobile devices, or something else.
- Post Consistently. Inconsistent posting is one way to slow the momentum of your brand. If you post five videos one week and then nothing for three months, you’ll find it hard to keep your fan-base. Before creating and posting videos, make a monthly content schedule and plan out what your videos will be over the coming weeks. It's easier to stick to your goals if you have them written out.
- Work on Photography. Get good at taking product photos and video. Creators of high-priced tech goods won’t thank you for making their product look like cheap trash, even if your review is good! Use the guide below for learning how to get better at capturing products of all types.
- Source Your Tech. Be prepared to borrow or buy if you want to review new tech. You’d need to be a well-established brand before any major companies will send you anything. I get it, tech is pricey. But you can't make reviews without knowing how you'll source products for the time being.
- Stick to the Script. If you’re adding voiceover or presenting, don’t wing it. Write down what you want to say and either learn it so you can speak naturally, or think about using a teleprompter. Having a script will help you articulate your ideas clearly. It'll also give you more confidence on camera as you'll know what you need to say.
