How Long Should Your Video Be

 

How long should my video be? is a big question people ask a lot of times and it really depends on what the goal of the video is.  Yes, people have a short attention span.  Take a look into your niche.  Look at what other folks are doing in your marketplace. Go to YouTube and see what the average length of the video is in your niche.

Now if we’re talking specifically about a website video whose main purpose would be to convert website visitors to the business’ most wanted response (phone call, email opt in, etc), you’re probably going to want to go with the shorter video, right?  Again, what is the goal of the video?
