Up until recently, you also needed to have someone in your team who knows their way around technology for creating and editing videos.
Luckily, there is now a plethora of video tools that make the process painless and surprisingly affordable.
Lumen5 is one of those tools. Now let’s see what this video creation platform is all about.

Lumen 5 is an AI-powered video creation platform that turns blog posts into engaging videos. Using the tool is easy, intuitive and surprisingly fast. After producing a few Lumen 5 videos, I expect you could create one in as little as 10 minutes from existing content like a blog post. You can see my original blog post here http://bit.ly/LaoTzu8 to compare it with the video produced so effortlessly.
The creative and marketing possibilities are very intriguing and so far Lumen 5 is free although it may offer more features for a price in the future. For now, it's an interesting tool to explore.
Businesses, bloggers, trainers, authors and really anyone can use it to produce social content to drive audience engagement online. Great thing is you can focus on your message, visuals and creativity without having to touch the technology.

Do you want to increase your Social Media reach and make your message go viral? Are you tired of Facebook limiting the reach of your posts?
Video content is one of the best ways to increase your followers’ engagement on Social Media; and when engagement rises, your reach will also grow. The power of video as highly engaging content is the reason why most Social Media platforms are implementing new video products: video ads on Facebook,animated gifs on Twitter, the launch of Hyperlapse for Instagram, etc…

La capture d'écran peut être un moyen de convaincre, elle peut offrir un diagnostic et donne une dimension réaliste à la nécessité de traiter ou d'apprendre... de changer de comportement dans les pratiques. L'image vaut mieux que mille mots et peut renvoyer vers un lien, une application pour en savoir plus, un résumé succin ou un slogan peuvent accrocher et donner envie d'aller voir plus loin. La mise en avant de l'image pour attirer l'attention est importante, comment mettre en avant l'image, il s'agit du pouvoir des mots et de l'image mais aussi de la créativité générée autour de cela.
