Hi there. This is a video by me, Teena Hughes. Nine quick tips for creating outstanding videos for your small business.
- Tip number one is, tell a story. Talk about your experiences. Viewers will easily identify with that, and then share how you did it.
- Tip number two: Don’t try to sell, pushy selling is a turn off, focus on the viewers pain or problem, mention a solution. This will grab their attention. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. And don’t procrastinate.
- Tip number 3, don’t wait until you have everything perfect. Just jump in, and start making a simple video. You’ll be amazed at what you can do.
- Number 4 is, no need for “talking head” videos (with your face on the screen).
- Got a face for radio? Use an image with a voice over, or just a photo slideshow, or record your computer screen. That’s pretty easy.
- Number 5, keep your videos short. Focus on one message only.
- Video length of one to three minutes is good.
- Less than one minute, use text, pictures, music; and no audio is okay.
- Greater than one minute, any audio improves the viewers’ experience.
- Number 6, create a video story-board.
- Draw a grid on a sheet of paper, with rows and columns.
- Use one grid or box for each step
- draw stick figures as people and add text
- add your ideas and notes, and it’ll be like a mini cartoon to help you plan ahead.
- Number 7, do your video SEO.
- Add the key word phrase in the right places, take advantage of Youtube SEO options.
- Use other video websites too, because the more places your video can be seen, the more likely you’ll find customers.
- Number 8 is be creative, and entertaining.
- Got a Facebook page, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc? Add only the relevant links to your videos, but don’t over do it.
- Number 9, the biggie. Add a call to action.
- What do you want the viewer to do?
- Tell them. Guide them.
- Sign up for more info? Call you?
- You have to let them know.
Okay, that’s it today. This has been a video by me, Teena Hughes, of TeenaHughesonline.com
