1. Product Review Video

Product reviews, they come in handy when deciding on a purchase. People write reviews on a product whether it’s good or not. Ratings may not appeal to the audience intrigued to the item they want, but a product review video will.

Kickgenius, for example, sometimes make basketball shoe reviews to help the viewers decide to buy it or not. They are a channel that is basketball itself like workouts, sneaker news, their basketball series, and even making a video with NBA players like Nate Robinson! This helps basketball players around the world to feel empowered and siked up to get out and play. The way they do this is their editing skills. It’s not boring to watch at all, since every video seems to put into a lot of effort into it. With these type of video’s, this can be replicated by making product reviews on the senior magazine pamphlet that as a option to buy for our senior graduation.

2. Comedy/Skit Videos

Who doesn’t like a good laughing once in awhile? Watching something funny just relieves our everyday stress and depression. It can be found mainly on social media platforms or anything that you find laughable to yourself.

Chonny is a really good example of this subject. Although he lacks in updating his channel with new videos often, his humor covers it all. No matter how many times in the past I’ve watched it, I can’t help but to laugh. His videos are very immature, which I like a lot. His content relies on his past experience, self- interest, or just very random skit ideas. This can help our Puma News that are outside the box of something the schools needs to hear. They just need a good laugh to feel intrigued to watch more of our content.

3. How-to Videos

Very Educational videos that teach the viewers how to do a specific task. This can easily gain a lot of views depending on what it is. It can be about anything, it just has to appeal to the people’s eye’s to click on it.

For instance, Nigahiga makes people click on his videos that is educational with humor. It’s not a typical educational video, but more like to impress or make people laugh. He made a video how to be a rapper, your favorite actor, to sing like your favorite artist, how to be ninja etc. He keeps the people watching these how to video’s with social media interest/trends that make people laugh. This can help puma news with videos that help the viewers need and interest.
