Six Refreshing Video Marketing Tips You Should Implement in 2020

Are you hoping to stand out a bit more with your video marketing tactics? 

Hoping that you can find some tips to give your own business an edge?  

In 2020, the pandemic has forced businesses to rethink their marketing tactics. Despite the sudden change in our landscape, here are six refreshing tips that should provide a boost to your company’s video marketing strategies. 

Firstly, you want to be sure that you are familiarized with the 7 sales and marketing video types - 80%, Employee Bio’s, product/service, landing, bad fit, customer journey, and claims. It is not necessary to have an About Us video despite it being common among companies online because it doesn’t tend to generate revenue or trust. After that, be sure that you spend some extra time polishing your YouTube channel by -  optimizing your playlists, use sections, designing a banner, and more. A cleaner layout allows your viewers an easier time browsing through your channel.

A personalized video for sales will allow you to connect with an audience deeper than a bland email message and can provide a better way to pipeline your sales for your sales team, look up vidyard’s chrome extension as it is a free tool to use in creating one. Try researching into hiring a videographer to help you create video content, as you are getting an individual/crew to fully commit time making high-quality content!  Don’t forget that there are more outlets than YouTube for you to post your content!

How To Create Videos At Home During COVID-19

Do you need to create video content but can't hire a video crew because of COVID-19 and Shelter In Place?  

Some businesses had a robust video content marketing plan for the Spring but had to put everything on hold due to the virus.  Video creators such as myself could no longer shoot these videos, let alone interact with our clients in person.  How do we build the momentum back up for video content marketing when you can't hire a professional team to create the content?

Through ingenuity and adaptability, I've been able to advise, consult, and coach clients remotely to create video content which I would then edit along with other assets such as stock footage to create video content for marketing.  Thank God for technology.

I'm hosting a Free Live Webinar on April 18 at 11AM PST to teach this process to business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers so you can learn video production fundamentals that translate to your phone or an inexpensive camera setup.  I'll go through video content marketing methods (I was just certified for Google's Fundamentals of Digital Marketing) with filmmaking techniques so you can create engaging videos at home that are aligned with your business goals.

Sign up at VideoContentSchool.com and feel free to ask me any questions along the way!  I feel that we're all going to be stuck indoors for an indefinite time so learning how to create professional video content for marketing at home without a video team is crucial.

You don’t need film school to be great at video content.

Have you ever stopped yourself from making videos because you thought you weren’t educated enough to create something people would watch? As a film graduate and Youtuber, I’ve found that film school isn’t necessary to create amazing video content. I’ve found that you can become an outstanding video creator if you watch classic and current films and TV shows, study trends online, find a mentor or experienced crew to teach you, and learn by practicing consistently. 

What if you just want to make videos for marketing your products?  Sometimes the most viral videos come from an iPhone - what matters is your message and if it resonates with your audience.  

Not to mention the breadth of online sources to learn from, you can become a powerful video creator without the film school debt.
