Facebook Video Killed the Radio Star



Videos on the internet have always been popular. Back when AOL started in the late ‘90s a single video could take hours to load. Now we stream through hundreds of videos in minutes on our social media feeds. Optimizing content to meet the platform you are using is always beneficial, but when it comes to Facebook marketing video makes a huge difference.

Video Ads
Facebook is quickly attempting to become a platform for video sharing. With the creation of Facebook Live, a feature that lets users record and broadcast live video simultaneously, it is quickly shaping up to be one of the fastest-growing live mediums. Even with the advent of live video, Facebook still favors regular video posts over posts with still images. Facebook ads with videos tend to have results 3x better than ads that don’t use video.

Live Video Streams

The Facebook algorithm prefers users who are adapting to the new technology Facebook offers, including live video. When live video first launched, Facebook would tell users about people and brands using live video in the moment, without that brand having to pay for the announcement, just because Facebook was trying to promote their new feature. Facebook still favors brands using live video and will still let users know who is live, utilizing new social media offerings has its benefits.
