Now, let’s get into the different types of video content on LinkedIn and how you can use them to grow your brand and generate leads.
Types of LinkedIn Video Content
LinkedIn supports both live and pre-recorded videos, each serving different purposes.
Live videos are perfect for real-time engagement and interaction, allowing you to connect with your audience instantly.
Pre-recorded videos, on the other hand, offer the chance to create polished, evergreen content such as tutorials, testimonials, and more.
Hosting live videos is just one way to amplify your brand’s visibility. Discover how LinkedIn and PR can work together to boost your brand’s exposure.
Creating Engaging LinkedIn Video Content
Overcoming camera shyness is a common hurdle, but with a few strategies, you can shine on camera.
Start small and remember your purpose, practice speaking in front of the camera, and do a test run with no one watching.
Using notes can help keep your thoughts organised.

Leveraging Live Video for Lead Generation
Preparation is key when going live.
Promote your live sessions in advance to build anticipation. During the live video, engage with your audience by addressing comments and questions.
This interaction not only builds rapport but also encourages viewers to share your content, expanding your reach.

Utilising Pre-Recorded LinkedIn Video for Lead Generation
Pre-recorded videos like tutorials and talking head videos allow you to present your expertise in a controlled environment.
Ensure your videos are clear and concise, with good lighting and audio.
Adding subtitles can make your content more accessible and engaging captions can draw in viewers.
Best Practices for Video on LinkedIn
When crafting your LinkedIn video posts, pay attention to lighting and sound quality.
Subtitles are crucial for accessibility, and an engaging caption can entice viewers to watch.
Don’t forget to include a clear call-to-action (CTA) to guide your audience on what to do next.
