From Snooze to Success: Crafting Captivating Training Videos

In today's fast-paced digital world, engaging training content is more crucial than ever.

Ever wonder why some training videos put you to sleep while others keep you engaged to the screen? 

Here are five tips for creating training videos people will actually watch:

1. Keep it short and sweet

No one wants to watch an hour-long lecture. Aim for 3-5 minutes max per video.

2. Be more animated than real-life

If you are recording yourself, your energy must be at a 9 to come across as a 7 on camera. Smile, vary your vocal range, and be uplifting! If it’s an animation, change up the screen to make it more interesting. 

3. Focus on one topic at a time

Don't cram everything in. Break complex topics into bite-sized videos.

4. Make it visual

Use simple graphics, screenshots, and animations to illustrate your points.

5. Make it interactive

Include hotspots, questions, or scenarios to involve the viewer actively.

Remember, your goal isn't to showcase every feature. It's to help viewers succeed quickly.
