Luckily there are some really easy fixes for this. Whether you’re using the mic on your phone, or stepping it up to a produce something serious, here are some tips that may help you out. […]

DON’T FREAK. SHORT FORM VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE The news feed previously favored short content, because it used the average percent that viewers watch (percent completion) to rank videos. Percent completion will now be weighted depending on how long the video is, which means that longer videos will have an easier time gaining placement in the feed. Within a few weeks, short videos that are high on percent completion but low on other engagement factors won’t be getting the same organic reach they’re used to. Micro-videos, short clips under 10 seconds, have historically been favored by publishers, because they’ve performed well at a relatively low cost to produce. […]

Office Hours Recap – 2.15.17 Last week we tried to host the very first #OfficeHours of 2017 and to be honest, it didn’t go well! Our stream kept disconnecting and eventually we chatted for 30 minutes without anyone actually ever seeing it. It was a mess! However, with that crippling defeat still looming over us, we walked into yesterday’s stream with the courage of lions and we went live. We streamed our little hearts out. A lot of wonderful people tuned in to the first successful Fullscreen Office Hours of the year and we had some great topics to go over – so let’s recap: […]

ICYMI: Fullscreen Creator Network benefits We often hear questions from Fullscreen creators about the benefits we offer, and we’ve found that some of what’s available in the Creator Platform goes unnoticed. So as a refresher, here are just a few of the apps and partnerships that you all have access to. In fact, all of our creators have access to a minimum of $350 in monthly value. This is one of my personal favorites. If you’re like me and are active on various social platforms (you totally should be), managing them all can be a pain sometimes. Epoxy brings everything under one roof – posting, sharing, creating, […]
