According to research by Verizon and Publicis, 92% of your audience will watch a video with the sound OFF. Thus, as a small business content creator, you must add captions to your videos.

If your audience is unable to watch and understand your video without captions, they will simply click away and watch something else instead. Can you afford to lose a potential subscriber, customer or client so quickly?

In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to add captions to a video in Canva.

The benefits of doing so:

It's free to do
You can customise the captions so that they are completely on-brand
You can also add eye-catching text animations

Having started my business in 2013 from a position of total ignorance, I've since become one of only 44 global Canva Verified Experts. I'm also a Canva Creator, meaning I design templates for your use in the Canva library. Feel free to take a look at my profile page and help yourself to my templates! Over the past 6 years I've also built a successful YouTube channel with almost 30k subscribers. I'm passionate about teaching other small businesses how to use Canva to market their brands online, so most of my videos are about Canva. However, I'm also equally passionate about email marketing, although I don't have enough hours in the day to devote to that subject at the current time. In summary, my business strengths are:- Canva Email marketing with Mailchimp YouTube video strategy and SEO Content marketing Social Media marketing
