Dubai-UAE: 22 February 2023 – Likee, one of the region’s most popular short video platforms in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, presents the most popular content types that users can leverage to engage their fans more effectively. With millions of people turning to Likee every day to be entertained, keep up with the latest trends, and also learn, short-video creators who seek to stand out need to choose the content type that works best for them and sprinkle it with character and originality. Likee's immediacy, its "power of now," can convert even the simplest idea into viral material, reaching thousands of people across the world in no time.

 

“The creator economy is overflowing with opportunities for the youthful population of the MENA region and the rapid advancement of technology enables almost anyone to seize them,” commented a spokesperson from Likee. “In this short-video era, personality is essential for content creators.

Before you grab your smartphone to start shooting your next short-video, check out the following content types that, when executed properly, can result in success.

 

Sport Content

 

Sports have a unique ability to evoke strong emotions in fans, from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat. By creating content that taps into these emotions, content creators can create a deep and lasting connection with their audience. As sports are all about action, you need to ensure that your videos are visually exciting and showcase the best moments of the game. You can try using creative camera angles, slow-motion, and other techniques to make your content stand out. As the world of sports continues to evolve, creating compelling content on short-form video platforms is expected to be a key driver of success.

 

Delicious food videos

 

Who doesn’t love good food? Food can easily bring people of various cultures and nationalities together, and sharing a meal is one of the most popular ways to spend quality time with family and friends. Consequently, it is not surprising that food dominates video platforms such as Likee. Of course, you don't have to be a chef to create a fantastic food video. Simply browse for several recipes, whether for breakfast, dinner, or desserts, select the ones that suit your tastes, and execute them to perfection. Given the fast pace of modern life, recipes that require just a few commonly available ingredients and can be quickly prepared will almost certainly catch the attention of users.

 

Gaming videos

 

With such a large gaming community, you can’t go wrong by creating gaming-related short-videos for Likee. Avid gamers among us can share their most remarkable achievements in popular games, whether on mobiles, consoles, or PCs, to gain recognition and connect with other gamers all around the world. Of course, you should keep in mind that the most hilarious gameplay moments have the potential to become just as popular.

 

Videos based on trending sounds and hashtags

 

If none of the options above appeal to you, or if you prefer not commit to a specific type of content, all you have to do is launch the Likee app on your smartphone, go to the Discovery page and check out the trending hashtags and sounds. There is a steady stream of new trends and challenges on Likee, and if you are among the first users to participate, this will definitely drive additional fans to your profile.

 

What matters most, though, is to create videos that really reflect who you are. Whatever type of content you prefer, you should always strive to personalize it by infusing your authentic voice and perspective. If you don't succeed the first time, try again and again; experimenting is the key to success. Those who persist and establish their footing will soon find themselves with a growing legion of devoted followers across platforms such as Likee. This will further go to establish the important role that short form videos hold in the region.
