How To Get People With the Attention Span of a Gnat to Watch Your Videos

Don’t know about you but, most of the time, it seems like I have the attention span of a gnat.

Wasn’t always like this. But once the Internet and smartphones came into my life, VERY few things seem to hold my attention for more than a nanosecond.

Probably in the time it takes me to write this article, I’ll check the latest sports scores… kiss my kids goodnight… check out Fakebook and then, probably, check the sports scores again.

And, if I’m lucky, I’ll just stick to FB and sport scores. Chances are I’m gonna jump down the rabbit hole online and hop from website to website with the frequency of a cheap ham radio.

And I ain’t alone.

Stand on the corner of any crowded intersection and watch how many people can’t even drive down the street without checking texts, Instragram, emails, etc.

So what does this all mean for you when it comes to video marketing?

It means you have to create video for a world where attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. People simply don’t have the patience to read long articles or watch long videos… especially boring ones filled with complex concepts.
