1. How long g does it normally take you start to finish for the 15 videos? 2. Vertical or horizontal videos? Have you tested if there is a difference? 3. Have you tested if thumbnails actually make a difference? Thank you for all your helpful videos.

1. It depends If I have some help I can get through 30 in a few hours. If its just me, I can get 15 videos done in about 1.5 hours from start to finish. 2. I am testing that now. I like horizontal better. I don't have too much analytics yet, but it seems that horizontal is doing better for me right now. 3. I'm still testing this out now, but by the looks of it my videos with thumbnails are doing very well. I think because it stands out from the other videos.

This was so helpful. I just became eligible this week and I'm working on uploading my first 3 reviews.

I just got approved 2 days ago and I will be done by tomorrow with my initial 3 videos. Getting through this phase is going to be difficult from what many have said but I think I know what to say and how to present as I am just using Amazon's guidelines for best practices. I am just shooting from my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus phone, so nothing in 4k. The only thing I did was purchase a nice gimbal and tripod to shoot my videos.

IM curious, I looked through your videos on amazon and they all look the same. they look great but they also look very "done". you don't feel that gives the impression of a non-legit review? I'm sure your reviews are legit of course I'm just saying from the consumer's view I would imagine they are looking for reality, not a well-shot video that looks staged. but I'm curious to hear your perspective as I'm just starting out and curious about this decision. This also goes for the thumbnails.

Hi, I appreciate your outlook. My input on this is that I just make my videos to try and stand out. On product pages, most of the videos are shot vertically with bad audio and video quality. My videos give off a different look and can be appealing to a customer. Also, I have tested out different kind of videos and I have found these videos to work better for me. I have a bunch of videos shot vertically from my phone so they look less "done" but they just aren't converting for me that well.

@@mercedesgomeznow oh wow ok. I’m building out my videos now and Ive been shooting high quality commercial content for years but thought for this platform the vertical was the thing considering they just launched the “inspire program” and that’s a vertical space. Are you posting on inspire too in vertical then? I’m about 33 videos in so totally new and wanna make sure I get it right. Don’t wanna make 300 videos in vertical and regret it hahah. Thanks for the help. Also I noticed you start all your videos with the same hook. Is there a reason for that? Thinking behind that or just easiest? I’m aiming for 300+ videos like yourself (you inspired me) and wondering if that for ease of scripting or more intentional than that? Also are you shooting on a DSLR or iphone? Or vlogging camera. I have em all so I’d love to know which one to use. Again thanks so much for all the info. Go get em girl!!

@@SHEISRYAN I will make specific videos for Inspire and those are really short like 15 seconds long. For those I'll do vertical videos. I haven't done too many specifically for inspire because I was aiming at getting my videos onto product pages first. I don't know all the analytics behind how they push out inspire posts so it hasn't been a huge focus of mine yet. I totally get where you're coming from. I think you would have to test out some different videos and see what works. I personally like horizontal videos better and my results are better with them but other influencers are different. I think I will end up having a good mix of both kind of content but for now I'm sticking with horizontal. As for my hook, I just try to get straight to the point. That's what I used in the beginning and so I just stuck with it. I use a sony point and shoot camera right now because I love the 4K video quality. I'm so glad I inspired you. Follow me on Instagram, I'd love to talk further!

Content: Overall product info Why you purchased it What it does How it works Simple facts on the product. You cant show everything from a desk, so you just talk about what you can and dont do a lot of extra work. Really focus on shooting 15 videos at a time. Mention if you DO recommend it at the end.
