Tips for Making Effective How-To Videos
It may seem like a how-to video should be easy to produce. After all, it is simply a matter of showing the viewer how something works and how they can learn to do it. In today’s crowded digital age, your video must stand out among the rest, grab the viewers’ attention in the most dynamic, engaging ways to compel them to stick around for the final video frame.

The following tips will help you stay on track and create the most effective how-to videos that will meet your goals and objectives.
Provide Solutions to Consumer Needs
You know your business and industry better than anyone. Use your knowledge and experience to produce digital images that showcase your expertise. This will set you apart from the competition and establish you as a leader in your industry and valued resource to your customers. Show your viewers that your product or service will provide solutions to your problems and answers to your questions.
Focus on How, Not Why
Most viewers of your how-to videos already know why they sought you out. They have a specific issue or need and are looking to you for how to solve it. Focus your content on how something works, and teach viewers to get the most out of your products. Your video script will serve as the guiding foundation for the content of your how-to video. Some suggestions for streamlining the information being presented and allowing your viewers to get the greatest benefit from your presentation include:
- Keep it short and on topic
- Avoid industry acronyms and terminology
- Present the information in a casual, conversational tone
- Remain consistent with your brand elements and the tone and voice of your business
- Demonstrate complex or confusing topics and processes slowly and in as much detail as a first time user of your product will need
Keep It Simple
Even though some of the information and procedures you are present may seem dry and boring, an important part of the process of creating how-to videos is to make the content succinct and simple enough to keep your audience engaged. You are better off making multiple videos to cover all needed aspects of the process rather than cramming too much information in one video that may confuse or, worse, bore your audience.
Recap, Repeat
Particularly with more complex and involved material such as complicated software or mechanical instructions, it is an important part of the process to keep refreshing and recapping the information as you go to keep viewers on track. Summarize the information you just covered before moving onto the next.
Have Fun!
Adding personal touches, humor, and other fun elements will keep the information fresh and easier to follow. Make sure you let viewers know that you take your business and the benefits of your products seriously, but that you take yourself less seriously and can have fun while demonstrating the material your viewers came to you for.
