A few tips from the Pitch Avatar team to help creators make more effective online content.
Use video as your main content. Dynamic content performs far better than static. By “performs,” we don’t just mean generating revenue — viewers can “pay” with likes, comments, time, and attention as well. In fact, studies show that after watching a relevant video, potential clients are 85% more likely to convert into real customers. Meanwhile, 91% of marketers already use video as a tool. And let’s not forget YouTube, the world’s most popular video platform, boasting 2.5 billion active users and over 70 billion daily views. All this makes one thing clear: video shouldn’t be treated as just an illustration — it should be the foundation of your online content.
Define your target audience. Knowing who you’re speaking to makes it much easier to choose the right style, tone, and platform for your videos.
Tailor your video to the platform. Every social network or video hosting site has its own quirks and requirements. The simplest example is video orientation: if your main platform is YouTube, your video should be horizontal. If you’re focusing on Instagram, make it vertical.
Follow the right production sequence. Even short videos benefit from the classic “film production formula,” which can be simplified as:
Idea → Script → Tools → Shooting → Editing → Promotion.
For live streams, the sequence changes slightly:
Idea → Script → Tools → Promotion → Live Broadcast → Post-editing of the recording.
By sticking to these basic principles, your videos will be better structured, more engaging, and more likely to achieve their intended impact.
Invest in Quality — Viewers Always Notice
The internet is overflowing with amateur videos, and it creates a dangerous illusion: that people are okay with low-quality content. Shaky shots, background noise, blurry visuals — we’ve all seen it, and yes, people still watch it. But here’s the truth: no one actually likes it.
Ask yourself: if a viewer has to choose between two videos on the same topic — one crisp, clean and pleasant to watch, and the other sloppy, which one will they click and stay with? Exactly. Always aim for the highest quality you can produce with the tools you have, and constantly work on improving it.
Master Your Tools
To create better videos, you need at least a basic toolkit — both equipment and software. But if you want to grow as a creator, your job doesn’t end there. Follow what’s new. Test fresh tools. Stay curious. Experiment.
The more instruments you master, the more creative freedom you gain and the stronger your content becomes.
Think Short. Short Videos Win.
Marketing data shows that 85% of experts consider videos under two minutes the most effective. And you don’t even need statistics to feel it — just scroll through any feed. Short, dynamic formats dominate attention and get the highest engagement today.
Keep it tight. Say it fast. Respect your viewer’s time.
Keep the Visual Flow Moving
Modern audiences consume video in a “clip-thinking” mode. Long static shots = instant boredom. So don’t let your visuals freeze. Mix it up: switch angles, add graphics, insert diagrams, reaction shots, overlays, or even micro-cutaways to objects in the scene.
Even a simple talking-head video can stay engaging as long as the picture moves and evolves.
Bring in Co-Hosts and Guest Speakers
One of the easiest ways to keep viewers engaged is to introduce a second voice or personality. Each switch naturally refreshes attention and boosts dynamics. Two people on screen make the storytelling flow and your audience stays with you longer.
Talk with Your Audience, Not at Them
Interactivity is one of the biggest drivers of successful online content. Ask questions, run polls, invite comments, respond to viewers, spark conversations. When people feel involved, they return. When they’re ignored, they leave.
Optimize and Promote Your Videos
A great video won’t perform if nobody sees it. Learn the basics of titles, descriptions, keywords, hashtags and platform algorithms. There are tons of guides and tips online — use them. Visibility is not luck. It’s a strategy.
Watch Trends and Competitors
Whether you want to ride the wave or go against it, you still need to know what the ocean looks like. Study creators in your niche. Notice what takes off. Notice what fails. Inspiration + analysis = growth.
