However, for videos to be effective, you have to get people watching–this is where Facebook and mobile videos come in.  By tapping in to your social media network and allowing people to watch your videos when not sitting in front of a computer, you have the potential to increase your videos’ audience by 10-, 20-, or even 100-fold.

Learn the best tips and tricks for mobile video marketing when Angela speaks with internet strategist Dan Hollings this Wednesday, October 12th.

In this class you will learn:

  • How do I make videos that people will want to watch?
  • How can I upload my videos to Facebook?
  • What is the best way to make videos available to mobile users?
  • What are QR codes, and should I be using them to promote my videos?
