With so many incredible escorts on Ivy Societe showing their best selves, it’s important to find a way to stand out and capture attention quickly. While a stunning photo can help, a video thumbnail takes it one step further—offering a unique chance to engage, spark curiosity, and give a glimpse personality from the first moment someone sees an advertiser’s profile. Video thumbnails are an elite feature on the platform, and the average user brings in 20% more views than those with just static images.
Let’s explore why video thumbnails make such a difference and how you can easily create one that draws people in, using just your phone.
Video captures attention
Think about how you scroll through content on social media or any digital platform—video content almost always grabs your attention faster than a still image. This isn’t a coincidence; our brains are wired to notice motion. Here’s why video thumbnails work so well:
- More dynamic and engaging: It immediately gives your audience a sense of your personality, your energy, and vibe in a way that a photo can’t. Movement feels more “real,” and viewers get a sneak peek of who you are and what you offer. This can increase trust and curiosity, making people more likely to click on your profile to learn more.
- Higher engagement rates: On Ivy Societe (like other platforms) video content typically sees much higher engagement rates compared to static images. For profiles, this means that users are more likely to click on a profile with a video thumbnail because it feels more interactive and engaging. And you know that clicks lead to bookings.
- Conveys more in less time: A picture might be worth a thousand words, but a video can tell a whole story in just a few seconds. Through a short video, potential clients can get a sense of your personality, professionalism, and energy all at once. It can show off your confidence, charm, and style in a way that a single photo can’t.
- Authenticity and trust: In an industry where trust is crucial, video thumbnails create a sense of authenticity. By showcasing yourself in motion, you present a more relatable and trustworthy image. Potential clients are more likely to book when they feel they know a little more about who they’ll be meeting. Video gives them that extra reassurance.
How to take a great video thumbnail on your phone
Creating a video thumbnail doesn’t have to be a Hollywood production. You don’t need expensive equipment—your smartphone is more than enough! Here’s how to make sure your video thumbnail looks professional, polished, and ready to drive more traffic to your profile:
- Lighting is key: Good lighting can make all the difference in your video. Make sure you’re shooting in a well-lit area, either by using natural light or some well-placed lamps. Soft, even lighting is best to avoid harsh shadows. If you’re outside, try to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause overexposure or unflattering shadows. Early morning or late afternoon lighting—known as the “golden hour”—is perfect for a soft glow.
- Choose the right setting: Your background should reflect your personality but also be clean and not too distracting. Whether it’s a luxurious room, a chic hotel setting, or even a beautifully framed shot outdoors, the key is to make sure the focus stays on you. Avoid cluttered or busy backgrounds that could divert attention away from you.
- Camera position and framing: Make sure your phone is stable, either by using a tripod or propping it up against something sturdy. Position the camera at eye level for a natural, flattering angle.
- What to wear: Pick an outfit that makes you feel confident but also reflects the vibe you want to convey in your video. Remember, you’re telling a story in a few seconds—so dress accordingly. Whether it’s classy, relaxed, or glamorous, make sure you’re comfortable and can move freely.
- Keep It short and sweet: Your video doesn’t need to be long, 5 – 15 seconds is plenty. Whether it’s a quick wave, a glance over the shoulder, or even a short greeting, the idea is to give potential clients a sense of who you are in a fun, engaging way.
- Embrace the collage: While moving footage is great, a quick and simple way to make dynamic content is a slideshow featuring your high quality photos! Using tools like Canva, or other editing software you can easily put together a moving collage that will entice and draw in clicks.
