A promo video is a key part of marketing your online course. Without video, it can be harder for your potential students to connect with you and understand what they’ll get out of the course. Making a course promo video is a way to convince your audience why they should sign up to learn from you.

For your course promo video to remain engaging and attract students, try to keep the video between 2-3 minutes. You don’t need to go into too much detail on every part of your course. Just give a high-level overview of what you cover and emphasise the outcomes for students.
