How to Wow Customers With Time-Lapse Videos on Social Media

People love time-lapse videos. Whether they're made from lots of photos stitched together or a simple sped-up recording, the power to capture the story of a scene that lasted hours, days or even years in just a few minutes or seconds, is something that really resonates with audiences.

And with mobile apps that make generating time lapse videos as easy as a few taps of the finger, there's never been a better time to get involved. What's more, time lapse videos make for great content on social media - digestible in moments and very shareable - as you'll see in the examples below.

In October 2013, Google+ finally started to roll out the option for users to apply a custom URL to their profiles and pages. While the address you end up with isn't completely  your choice, it is  a whole lot better than previous, i.e. something very long and complicated!

Google+ custom URL requirements

Google isn't handing custom URLs out to any old Tom, Dick, and Harry. You'll need to meet the following requirements until the offer is made to you. Your account:

  • Must have 10 or more followers
  • Must be 30 days old or more
  • Must feature a profile photo

Getting your Google+ custom URL

If you meet the above criteria, you'll see a notification at the top of your Google+ page or Profile. Click the "Get a custom URL button" or from the "About" tab on your Profile, click the "Get" link located under your Google+ URL.

You'll see the URL(s) you've been approved for; just choose the one you like most, agree to the terms, and click "Change URL." Once you change it, it's changed for good and you won't be able to make or request any amendments other than capitalization or accents/diacritics.

And that's all there is to it!
