We're all guilty of scrolling between one video to the next on social media. In today's digital age we expect engaging content at our fingertips. If we don't get that, we simply move onto the next video. 

By the time 10 seconds has passed, 20% of viewers will have already stopped watching your video and moved onto something else. 

So, we’re here to offer 5 top tips on how to grab attention quickly in your videos before time runs out! 

Capture Attention with Clear and Compelling Language 

Creating videos that capture attention quickly can be a game changer for your content. To do this, start with clear and compelling language that grabs your viewers' interest right away. 

Using familiar language early on helps to keep your audience engaged, making it easier for them to understand what your product or service is all about. The simpler you make it; the more likely people are to stick around! 

Let your viewers know upfront what they’ll gain from watching your video; this can be achieved through descriptive but concise titles, which can be in the caption or meta title. Ensure to hook your viewers, giving them enough to keep them watching without overwhelming them. 

Use Text Animation Upfront 

Try using eye-catching text animation upfront. This trick is perfect for stopping those busy scrollers in their tracks. Bright, bold, and creative fonts really pop. Don't be afraid to step outside your brand’s usual look if needed! 

The key is to convey your message in those crucial first few seconds, without viewers even needing to turn up the volume. This way, you hook them instantly and make them curious to see more, all while keeping things visually exciting.
