How to use Do-It-Yourself Video, well, to promote your business…
First Step: Know your BRAND – Who are you, What distinguishes you from others in your field.
Claim that Brand and Emphasize it in your videos. (Pro Tip: do this wherever your business is expressed- social outlets, webpage, emails, in person, in your documents, etc..)
Second Step: Know Yourself (on camera)
Talent Tips –
- Consider the Lighting (whether outdoors or in)
- Check your position on the screen (Use the camera in Landscape position for Facebook, Horizontal for Insta Stories)
- Frame yourself well; The top of your head should be just 2 fingers below the top of the frame
- Consider ambient sound/microphone
- Think about your face. Smile with your eyes.
- Prepare your succinct message, but don’t memorize it
- Mess Ups are Okay
Third Step: Design a “Concept” for your videos and Set Goals
- A strategic “Concept” might be, as a Realtor, for example, that you’re going to produce and share “60 Second Showings”
- A“Goal” would be, that you’re going to commit to one “60 Second Showing” per week, with other, brief, engaging posts every two days.
