How Influencers Use Video Editing to Drive Sales

 🎯 Editing Trick #1: Add Subtle Product Call-Outs (Mid-Video) Simply holding a product isn’t enough. Influencers are using clever editing techniques to highlight the benefits without being salesy.

Insert quick before/after split-screens. 📌 Pro Tip: Overlay a mini discount banner in the corner mid-video to catch the skim-watchers. 🔥 Editing Trick #2: Use “Day in the Life” + Product Placement Fake ads bore people.
