Top 5 Tips for Vine Success

  1. Keep it simple
    Initially, 6 seconds seems like a very short amount of time but once you start working in Vine you realize that there is a tremendous amount you can fit in that time frame.  At that point you need to back away from iphone and remember what your core message/concept was to begin with and stick with that.

  2. Relatable rules/Show people themselves
    Some of the most successful Vines are the ones who show the viewer a version of themselves or a familiar experience.  Those Vines get shared a lot. It doesn’t have to be realistically portrayed but it should show the viewer something that makes them say “I know this feeling!”

  3. Know your audience
    If you have an idea for a Vine, ask yourself who you think would appreciate it… and make sure it would make sense to them. Though the majority of Vine’s audience is young adults (teens to early twenties), there is a huge number of other demographics on the app that are desperate for content that speaks to them. That said, the younger the target audience, the more visible the engagement (Likes/Revines).

  4. Let the camera tell at least part of the story
    If there is a prop, person or action that is integral to your Vine’s concept, use the camera to make sure it is seen.  Don’t be afraid to move the camera from establishing shot to close-up and back again if it will help you tell your story.

  5. Have fun!
    No one wants to watch someone forcing themselves to ‘do it for the vine’.  Have fun making Vines!  Be creative.  Test what works and what doesn’t with your audience.  Vine is an amazing creative outlet that can be used by individuals and businesses alike to spread happiness worldwide.
