How to make a good review

  • The video should be 1-3 minutes long. If the software has so many features that you can’t fit it into 3 minutes video, make a series of posts. It will get you additional income
  • Create multiple videos which show different software features. You might put it in a single post but I’d again recommend to make a series of posts
  • Think of a use case that might be interesting to potential buyers. For example, show how a download manager can improve download of big files: start a download, close the download manager and open it again. Thus you’ll show the users that the download is tolerant to interruptions.
  • Always add text description to your videos. Google and other search engines will index your post and get it into the search results when someone is looking for the software your video is about.
