The Payoff (last 5 seconds)
Never resolve your video until the final 5 seconds.
<aside>
๐ Every video should end by
- [ ] Satisfying the craving that you gave the viewer in the first 5 seconds
- [ ] Answering the questions you raised in their minds
</aside>
If you see someone about to do a backflip on a trampoline, the payoff is usually a fail, and if you see someone cooking a meal, the payoff is seeing the final dish.
Small details before we hit post on every video
- [ ] Hashtags: If you use #honda, it will go to people who are interested in Honda. If you use #viral, it will go to ANYBODY. You have a better shot of a good watch time when you're intentional about who sees it first.
- [ ] Use TikTok Sounds: This way it hits people who like the audio.
- [ ] Clear Thumbnail: If it's a repeatable idea and people want to find it on your feed, that will be impossible without adding a title to the thumbnail.
