Fails & Funnies: Halloween Edition
Everyone loves a good prank, more so when it doesn’t quite go to plan. A filmer discovered this the hard way, when his prank-gone-wrong video became one of the most popular on the platform.
Key takeaway: Tried to film something that didn’t quite work? No need to worry – fails (especially those with added humour) are key sellers. When uploading, remember to include phrases like “goes wrong” or “hilariously fails” to help buyers find them faster.
Cute Pets Take Flight
An all-round best-performer, cute pet videos are attractive to buyers all over the world. This month, Qi Lin, the paragliding Border Collie from Changsha in Hunan Province, soared to the top of the popularity charts on Newsflare.
The video follows the pup as it enjoys a paragliding session with its owner (a paragliding instructor) in southern China, which according to other instructors, is a daily occurrence.
Key takeaway: Take your fur baby on unusual activities? Make the most of the category’s popularity and upload it today. Combine the cuteness with the unusual for a killer combo.
Mum’s The Word
Everyone needs a little help. In fact, parenting hacks and those who film them have become some of the most popular on the internet, with hashtags like #mumhacks garnering over 100 million views on TikTok.
NYC mum, Newsflare filmer and TikTok creator, Stina (@stina93446), is a great example of this. Her video ‘Mom reveals three things in your home you didn't realise you had to clean’ opened viewers eyes to key areas in the home that might be in need of a good clean.
Key takeaway: Have a talent for something? Uploading a helpful hack video is the perfect way to make your skills go further. Buyers are always on the lookout for the new and exciting.
