How to get more engagement with your videos!!🔥

1d ago (edited) in Strategy

Creating great course material is essential, but if your video quality isn’t up to par, even the best lessons can be hard to follow and watch. Your video setup plays a huge role in how your community engages with your content. Fortunately, improving your setup doesn’t have to be complicated.

Most Skool community owners overlook video quality, thinking their webcam or poor lighting is "good enough." But with just a few simple upgrades, you can dramatically enhance the viewing experience for your audience.

Focus on these key areas:

Lighting:

Poor lighting can make your videos look unprofessional. Instead of relying on natural light, invest in some affordable lighting equipment like softbox or ring lights. Good lighting makes your videos look more polished and ensures your face is always clear and well-lit.

Audio:

People will forgive average visuals, but poor audio is a dealbreaker. Using your laptop or phone’s built-in mic just won’t cut it. Upgrade to an external microphone, even an affordable one, to ensure your voice is crisp and clear.

Camera quality:

While a high-end camera is ideal, you don’t need to go overboard. If you can, switch from your laptop’s webcam to a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Even a decent smartphone camera with the right setup can be a big step up in quality.

Simplify your space:

A cluttered background can distract your viewers from the content you're teaching. Keep it simple. A clean, organized space with minimal distractions is more inviting and professional. You can even add a few personal or branded touches, like a logo or framed artwork, to enhance the environment.

Refine through testing:

Once you’ve made these changes, record a few test videos. Experiment with different camera angles, lighting setups, and microphone placements. Small adjustments can make a huge difference. Play around until you find what works best for your space and style.

A professional video setup can turn good content into a great learning experience.
