We've all witnessed the massive growth of social media. Has your business taken the plunge?  Social media can be a cost-effective way to promote and grow your business. But creating content to "feed the beast" of social networks can be overwhelming and time consuming. In this Voodoo QuickTip we talk about how to use your Voodoo custom-framed video content, along with images (that we now provide to you) to boost social media engagement and drive traffic to your website. 

Voodoo QuickTip #712: Thumbnail Images for Posting Voodoo Videos to Social Media and Websites 

As a Voodoo user, you can post links to your co-branded and personalized videos on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. This helps you build traffic, engagement, fans, connections and followers. You can see exactly how many people clicked through to watch from each post, and you're likely to be surprised at the high view rates.

Check out this Voodoo QuickTip on How to Post Trackable, Personalized Videos to Your Social Media Accounts.

Now that you know you can easily post a link to any video in your Video Library on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, let's talk about how (and why) to add still thumbnail images to your social posts. Adding an image is one of the best ways to increase engagement with social media followers (clicks, retweets, shares, replies, comments).

According to Twitter, Tweets with photos receive an average 35% boost in Retweets. That means driving more traffic to your content, and more potential prospects learning about the products and services your company offers. 

You can also leverage Voodoo videos by posting them on your company website. Adding video to your website can increase your SEO rankings, and drive more traffic to your site.  The most flexible way is to place a small thumbnail image from the video on your website.  Link the thumbnail to one of your Voodoo videos.  When visitors click-through, they'll see a full-size version of the video playing in your company's custom frame.
