Educational video series

Instead of posting a one-off tutorial, consider creating a video series tied together by a common theme. This helps build anticipation with your subscribers.

What to do

When defining the topics of a video series, try creating videos that are relevant to a certain stage of the customer journey. Are you looking to appeal to a broad audience?
