Demos- do you have something you can demo in 6 seconds? It sounds short, but it’s actually plenty of time to showcase a simple task that you do every day.
Silly videos- customers love when you show your personality. Don’t think that everything you share has to be about your business. Showcase some funny office moments or silly things you do at work!
Conference videos- a snip-it or teaser of a conference can spark someone’s interest in what you’re talking about and look into your topic more. Plus, nobody really pays attention to more than 6 seconds of a speaker anyways right?
Mini-series- do a bunch of small videos about something you do for your business. Let's say you have a pest control company. Try putting up a bunch of short videos showcasing you spraying a house or searching for bugs.
These are just a few suggestions, I'm sure you could come up with numerous different ways to utilize those 6 seconds to your advantage. And if you run out of ideas, grab your dog or cat and you'll rise to Vine stardom in no time at all.
So now that you have yet another social media platform to manage, go get started!

Another great think about this app is that you can actually use it for business. How do you do that you ask? Great question! Here are some ideas:
