16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,320
like the task of going to script your
17
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,640
videos
18
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,600
uh is kind of overwhelming and daunting
19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:12,159
maybe
20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,760
um maybe when you go to hit record
21
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,680
you feel like you're not really genuine
22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,320
or you're not saying the right things
23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,439
that actually
24
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,720
invite your audience to be inspired
25
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,640
and then to invite them to take action
26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,799
or maybe you found that past videos
27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,840
you've created just a fallen flat
28
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:31,119
uh whether it was a video that you just
29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,840
put out on social media
30
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:35,680
publish it to get it out there or one
31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,640
that you actually put paid advertising
32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,360
behind
33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,320
if you find like this sounds like you
34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,840
then
35
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,000
what i'm going to share with you will
36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,360
help you really effectively
37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,520
plan your marketing messages and then
38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,119
go to script them and scripting can look
39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,920
like a word-for-word script like you're
40
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:54,640
reading off a
41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
teleprompter or it could even look like
42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,079
an outline
43
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,560
to know exactly what is my beginning
44
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:01,520
middle
45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,159
and end for how to connect and then
46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,880
invite
47
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:05,920
my audience and one thing what
48
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,920
definitely look at too
49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,239
are some helpful kind of tips to keep in
50
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,040
mind uh to
51
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:13,680
help remove all of that overwhelming and
52
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,560
sometimes
53
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,000
the the waste of time that you put into
54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,040
writing scripts that may
55
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,680
never even be recorded or see the light
56
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,920
of day
57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,879
because it's one thing to have an idea
58
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,040
and a concept for
59
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,560
a marketing video it's a whole nother
60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,519
thing to plan
61
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,720
script it out even storyboard it meaning
62
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:34,959
you're putting you're planning out your
63
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,680
visuals of what's going to happen
64
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:39,200
and then go to film it and then edit it
65
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,400
and then publish it
66
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,959
i guarantee um every single
67
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,599
entrepreneur or business out there has
68
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:50,080
at least
69
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,760
one if not many more videos that were
70
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,959
even recorded got to the point of being
71
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,319
recorded but never actually got
72
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:57,200
published no one actually
73
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,840
saw that video even if the concept and
74
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,480
the message
75
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,400
was powerful and would have done great
76
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,519
to help them grow their business
77
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,800
so my my goal with this is to definitely
78
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,400
give you that confidence that your
79
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,239
script is right but also that you can
80
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,000
carry it all the way through getting it
81
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:15,200
published and out there
82
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,599
okay so consider this
83
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,040
when it comes to marketing videos um
84
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,680
it's just that it's
85
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,440
marketing first and then video second so
86
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,720
when you go to plan out your marketing
87
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,040
messages
88
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,480
you need to consider the entire customer
89
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,080
experience
90
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,159
for new marketers out there obviously
91
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,599
you can call it a sales funnel
92
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:35,440
and so what that looks like is
93
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:38,480
considering what is
94
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,920
each essential step my audience takes
95
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,599
from
96
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,239
learning about me for the first time so
97
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:46,000
being a cold audience member
98
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:48,000
not knowing anything about me learning
99
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,239
about me right to then
100
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,599
learning a little bit more to maybe
101
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:53,599
becoming a new lead
102
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,959
in your business to then eventually
103
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,000
showing that they trust you when they
104
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:58,239
pay you
105
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,519
and what i'm speaking to are three
106
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,840
phases of marketing there's the traffic
107
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:05,519
phase there's the lead phase and then
108
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,439
there's the sales phase
109
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:08,879
it's all about generating that attention
110
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,920
in the traffic phase this is where a lot
111
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,720
of your content
112
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,920
and your messages your videos exist so
113
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,799
you generate the traffic get that
114
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880
attention
115
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:18,320
send them to your website or your sales
116
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,680
page or a place that you're offering a
117
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,479
free resource
118
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,479
or a you know even a paid resource and
119
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:26,320
they become a new lead
120
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:28,080
and then the third phase is when they
121
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,560
become a new cell and they get access
122
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,080
to different types of content along each
123
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,240
step of this journey
124
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,360
so when you can understand where your
125
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,160
audience is
126
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,759
in this journey in learning about you
127
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,680
and even working with you
128
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,440
then you can understand what type of
129
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,120
message you need to deliver
130
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,520
because when it comes to marketing
131
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,520
messages marketing videos
132
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,360
the script that you're going to put
133
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,840
together is going to vary differently
134
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
the
135
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,960
invite the call to action is going to be
136
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,320
different because
137
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,440
you're gonna do less selling when
138
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,680
they already know love and trust you
139
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,880
and they're paying you as a customer
140
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,160
you've already sold them so you don't
141
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,240
need to invite them
142
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,639
uh necessarily to go and buy a product
143
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,680
unless they are upgrading or taking you
144
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,840
up on
145
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,520
an upsell you know another product or
146
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,919
service opportunity
147
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,759
so in understanding where your audience
148
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:22,800
fits in their journey
149
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:24,639
then you can know what type
150
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,479
of what types of things to say in your
151
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:28,479
scripts and you let alone before you
152
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:31,440
even script you can plan out certain
153
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:32,479
marketing videos marketing messages okay
154
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,759
so
155
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:35,600
let's pause here for a second and kind
156
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,160
of consider well
157
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,840
this is great you know i can consider
158
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
this but what if i have multiple
159
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,520
products
160
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,280
or services you know what
161
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,639
your products or services all fit
162
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,919
underneath the same
163
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:49,840
business unless you have multiple
164
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:53,199
businesses then consider that but
165
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,880
they fit all within the same business
166
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,479
then the messages for what product or
167
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,199
service your audience needs to start
168
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:03,360
with
169
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:05,759
to be successful and then maybe you can
170
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,639
progress them to the next product or
171
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,919
service you offer
172
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:11,520
if you offer multiple ones uh but
173
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:13,520
plan those out understand that those
174
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,120
messages can exist as
175
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,680
ads on social media or youtube videos
176
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,440
right for marketing videos or they can
177
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,800
exist as video sells messages
178
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,600
on your sales pages or
179
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,880
maybe it's a brand hero video a brand
180
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,720
story video
181
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,880
that exists on the homepage on your
182
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,960
website to then
183
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,680
after they buy your product or service
184
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,319
maybe it's training videos maybe it's
185
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,000
product demonstration videos if you're a
186
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:43,199
course creator right it's your course
187
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,759
content
188
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:47,520
so considering what those messages are
189
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,400
is first important then you can plan out
190
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,520
okay
191
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,720
what does my audience need to know and
192
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,759
feel and then do as a result of watching
193
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,160
this message
194
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:00,880
and so the most powerful and usually the
195
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,039
most marketing focused messages exist
196
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,919
in the first phase of marketing which is
197
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:05,759
traffic
198
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:07,360
this is where you're capturing their
199
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,880
attention
200
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720
and obviously you want to send them to
201
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,479
your website or your sales page
202
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,360
okay so in this in scripting your
203
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:18,000
messages
204
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280
um you want to again consider remember
205
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,759
these three things what do i want them
206
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240
to
207
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:23,919
to to know by the end of this message
208
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,960
what do i want them to feel
209
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:28,880
what the what do i want them to do so
210
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240
you can even say like for example you
211
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,360
heard me say at the beginning of this
212
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,919
message that
213
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,680
i want you to know and feel confident
214
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:38,000
that you're doing videos right
215
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,240
videos that actually will help you help
216
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,240
that will work to grow your business
217
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
um so there's an element of filling like
218
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,280
feeling confident that your marketing
219
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,160
messages and your scripts are going to
220
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,319
work
221
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,840
and then knowing that you think can then
222
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,599
go and uh
223
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,879
and get them recorded and published and
224
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:56,000
out to the world
225
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:58,160
and then do is
226
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,599
the invite at the end i'll even give you
227
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,120
an invite now by the way because i'm
228
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:02,960
going to reference it
229
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,479
it's called the video supply scripts
230
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,240
document it's a free guide you go to
231
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:09,360

walks you through
234

my video scripting framework
235
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,479
and and so that's a helpful resource to
236
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:20,720
know how to go and script those
237
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:23,360
those ad videos maybe it's a video sales
238
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,360
message on a sales page
239
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,120
whatever it may be for the journey of
240
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,879
your customer
241
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:33,279
excuse me so go and download that
242
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,320
that will help be a helpful resource um
243
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,240
and then
244
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,159
once you do that and when you go to
245
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,919
script your videos
246
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:46,160
consider some of these details one is
247
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:49,040
don't over complicate um your message
248
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,720
sometimes people like to give 20 call to
249
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,399
actions
250
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,760
and be super pitchy
251
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,760
delivering all these sales pitches and
252
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,360
their marketing messages
253
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,040
um and let's say you give 20 call to
254
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,839
actions but they're all the same call to
255
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360
action
256
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:06,880
that can be relevant that can be a
257
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,160
really long video because you're gonna
258
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,920
have to insert other messages
259
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,360
throughout but don't over complicate
260
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,000
your marketing video
261
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,360
uh if you do so you're gonna overwhelm
262
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,640
so if you over complicate it you're
263
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,720
gonna overwhelm
264
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080
your audience and they probably won't
265
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,800
take action
266
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,600
um anytime soon because you got to keep
267
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,040
the message
268
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,320
simple give him that no feel
269
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,680
and do type mentality and knowledge by
270
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,720
the end
271
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:36,399
another aspect too is using a hook
272
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,200
you find that at the beginning of this
273
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,560
video i i did just a very simple hook
274
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800
saying this is what we're going to cover
275
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:45,120
in this video and so what you'll do
276
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,200
as an a viewer or audience member
277
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,040
watching the marketing video
278
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,600
um you know calling this marketing video
279
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,640
is identify hey is this for me or is it
280
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,640
not for me
281
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,640
if it's not for you you're gonna go
282
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,160
scroll through and watch something else
283
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,760
and that's okay but the people who feel
284
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920
like it's relevant to them
285
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,200
right now will end up watching it all
286
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,040
the way through
287
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:10,079
or at least for the messages that are
288
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,399
good enough to get them to then act and
289
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:15,839
go to the next step in their journey
290
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:17,440
so use a solid hook and then make sure
291
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:20,640
that you deliver
292
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,360
your core message as early as possible
293
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,320
so you may ask what does this look like
294
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,839
your
295
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,839
core message you know the marketing
296
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:31,200
message you want to deliver
297
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:32,800
is it needs to be defined before you
298
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,240
even go and script a video
299
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,279
because a lot of me a lot of people may
300
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,480
feel and maybe this is you included
301
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:41,680
that you don't know what to say because
302
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,240
you don't know how to talk about what
303
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,839
you do in your business
304
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,360
sometimes you may feel like you may know
305
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:49,440
how to talk about what you do
306
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,120
but maybe it's not working that's
307
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,320
because you're not doing it in the most
308
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,279
powerful way
309
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,800
and in order to do that in order to get
310
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:58,000
people to really resonate with what
311
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,360
you're saying
312
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,480
you need to craft a more
313
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,120
powerful and clear brand message uh we
314
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,880
have
315
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,360
a framework called story supply that we
316
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,519
help people do that with because
317
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,040
that messaging piece is essential for
318
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:14,000
you to actually do marketing right if
319
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,839
you have
320
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,959
uh an unclear or a poor
321
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:22,160
messaging um a poor message
322
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:23,920
inside of your marketing then your
323
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600
marketing won't work and then of course
324
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,120
your videos will work because then
325
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,200
you know this is part of the framework
326
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,160
actually of content supply
327
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,640
is a focus on messaging marketing then
328
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,040
medium so the type of content you use
329
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,160
and they all come you know one after
330
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,680
another you have to first
331
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,680
focus on your message then your
332
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,680
marketing then your medium
333
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,040
so make sure that you understand and
334
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,480
have message clarity
335
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,320
as one of the first steps because when
336
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,639
you can do that then when you're
337
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,120
scripting your marketing video
338
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:54,560
you can feel confident that okay great i
339
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,160
can hook them this way
340
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,399
this is the type of person i'm speaking
341
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,000
to here are their problems
342
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:03,279
here's what they want here's their
343
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,360
payoff here's the results that they want
344
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:06,399
and then here's the plan i can present
345
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,079
to them
346
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:10,240
maybe here are some objections i can
347
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:11,600
overcome all of these pieces that are
348
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,440
common to
349
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,639
messaging common to developing a more
350
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,760
effective marketing plan fits inside
351
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:24,240
of your marketing video script so
352
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,040
consider that and then you also want to
353
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,839
this is a big one you want to speak
354
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,720
to your audience in a way that they can
355
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:33,279
identify
356
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,279
with the message so oftentimes you can
357
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,079
do this early on in the hook or shortly
358
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:38,720
after the hook
359
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:40,720
to your marketing video where you can
360
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,680
literally call out their identity
361
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,320
hey entrepreneurs hey course creators
362
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,279
hey
363
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,399
thought leaders hey nonprofit business
364
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:51,440
owners
365
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,160
uh hey visionaries whatever the identity
366
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,560
may be
367
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,120
to your audience that you're speaking to
368
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,519
call them out so that way they can
369
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,680
self-identify
370
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:01,760
and then be like okay i'll keep watching
371
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:05,519
because this is definitely for me or
372
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,160
i know of someone who this video is for
373
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,120
so definitely speak to them and use
374
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,240
words like
375
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,279
you you've got to do this notice that i
376
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,959
just did it there
377
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:20,399
you got to do this use you and less of i
378
00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:23,040
uh and the more you use you
379
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,680
the better that you will be set up to
380
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,720
succeed
381
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:27,760
with your marketing video messages and
382
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,360
then you also want to make sure you have
383
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,920
a conversation so
384
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,600
i would say having conversation comes in
385
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,000
multiple forms one
386
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,040
is making sure that when you script a
387
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,480
video
388
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:42,880
that it sounds conversational that
389
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,560
you're not using language say that would
390
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,480
be
391
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:48,079
you wouldn't use in a conversation
392
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,680
having with a friend
393
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:51,600
you also want to use simple language
394
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,240
let's say people who are not familiar
395
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,519
with
396
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,279
your industry as much or the industry
397
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:59,600
language like you know if you're
398
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:02,160
speaking all this marketing language
399
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,079
then you want to try to simplify it as
400
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,839
much as possible
401
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:07,920
and then also it also comes down to your
402
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:11,519
delivery you also don't want to be
403
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:15,360
too monotone even if you may have
404
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:17,120
no no you know even if you don't have um
405
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,560
even if you have conversations that can
406
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,680
often be monotone
407
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:24,079
you want to definitely
408
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,279
deliver your message with more of a
409
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:28,240
powerful voice
410
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:29,199
but don't do so in a way that is
411
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,680
inauthentic
412
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:33,440
and overdone and i i've definitely found
413
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,519
to speak to an eye moment
414
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,120
you know personal experience there's
415
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:38,320
been times and this is definitely coming
416
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,560
down to
417
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,040
how you develop your own brand voice and
418
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,680
your ability to be confident on camera
419
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,120
is through trial and error there's been
420
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,240
many videos
421
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,360
uh that i have recorded
422
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:56,959
many published some maybe not published
423
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,760
that were kind of inauthentic to
424
00:14:56,959 --> 00:15:00,560
who i was i had friends or colleagues
425
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,800
saying
426
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,839
oh i love that video but you know it
427
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,079
didn't seem like
428
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:10,720
the true down it's because i was
429
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:11,360
not trying to be someone i'm not but i
430
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
was
431
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,199
delivering with far too much energy and
432
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,320
making it less conversational
433
00:15:15,199 --> 00:15:19,839
so focus on having a conversation with
434
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,519
those you're talking to even
435
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:24,000
if you're just looking at a camera or
436
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:27,839
your computer as you're doing it
437
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:31,440
another piece is you want to make it
438
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:32,480
concise so for your marketing video make
439
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,320
it concise
440
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,600
this video is going to end up being or
441
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,199
you know if you're listening to this as
442
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,920
a podcast for example this is going to
443
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:40,560
be
444
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,440
longer form not as concise but if you
445
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,560
under if you
446
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:47,120
look at it as this the messages
447
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,040
within it can be concise meaning i can
448
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,320
repurpose these messages and turn them
449
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,120
into ads
450
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,399
um the central message though needs to
451
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,680
be concise
452
00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:00,639
and simple and to the point and not
453
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,040
beating around the bush and so this is
454
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,399
more
455
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:08,000
of an education related message
456
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:10,639
versus say a strictly ad
457
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,680
you know marketing message and so that
458
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,199
can
459
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,959
provide the opportunity to make more
460
00:16:13,199 --> 00:16:17,120
long form and that's what you see often
461
00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:20,320
with youtube videos but even youtube
462
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,160
for example is testing different
463
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,000
shorter form videos although they've
464
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,120
historically have favored longer form
465
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,959
content
466
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,959
so consider that in keeping your message
467
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:31,360
concise and concise
468
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:33,680
and then you also want to practice your
469
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,959
script before you even go to record it
470
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,320
uh and this comes uh this helps out with
471
00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:40,800
the conversationalists
472
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,880
uh making it sound like a conversation
473
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,079
um where you do what we call a table
474
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,600
read
475
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:47,920
actors do this all the time before they
476
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,440
go and record their shows or movies
477
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,519
is they do a table read they read
478
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,320
through and practice
479
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:55,199
their delivery uh and as you do this for
480
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,079
yourself
481
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:59,440
and making sure that there's no typos it
482
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:01,040
sounds natural
483
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,040
then you can go and fix and do a new
484
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,720
draft of your script
485
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,240
if it needs that kind of overhaul so
486
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,559
that's a definitely central face before
487
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,439
you go and hit record
488
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,919
there are times that you find you may do
489
00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:14,160
the first
490
00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:15,120
draft of a script and never read it
491
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,919
until you
492
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:18,799
go to hit record that can kind of set
493
00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:21,520
you up for
494
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:23,760
a tricky place to be in because then
495
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,360
you'll you may have to do more takes
496
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,839
you may fumble you may look
497
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:30,320
unprofessional you may be like ooh
498
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:31,360
there's another blooper bloopers and
499
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,600
retakes are
500
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,720
normal but why not give yourself the
501
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,320
confidence that you know what you're
502
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520
going to say in your videos by reading
503
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,080
them
504
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,960
days beforehand if not weeks beforehand
505
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,120
and prepping to film because oftentimes
506
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,480
one thing that we recommend is batch
507
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:49,760
content creation
508
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,080
script a series of marketing videos
509
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,200
weeks before you end up actually
510
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,679
recording them
511
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,280
and then record them all at once in a
512
00:17:55,679 --> 00:17:58,320
multiple hours
513
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,160
and then that way you can get them
514
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,880
recorded for months to come whether it's
515
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,400
a series of
516
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,200
new ads you're doing new youtube videos
517
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,760
whatever it may be for your customers
518
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,440
okay
519
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:15,039
so those are some strategies to consider
520
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,120
um when it comes down to scripting
521
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,960
more effective marketing videos and
522
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:21,039
giving you that confidence
523
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,799
and one thing that i definitely
524
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:24,080
recommend in doing so as well as you go
525
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:26,720
to plan it out
526
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,080
is again focus on message clarity first
527
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,480
knowing how to talk
528
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,960
about your customers and then to your
529
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,919
customers in a way that gets them to
530
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,360
know why they need to watch or receive
531
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:39,919
your message
532
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,640
feel your marketing fill your message
533
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:42,240
and then
534
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,160
know what they're supposed to do so the
535
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,000
know the feel and the do
536
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,600
and in doing so you can connect with
537
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,200
them and then you can
538
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,679
inspire them to take action and
539
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,240
again there is a resource to help you
540
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:56,559
with this
541
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,160
uh you go to com slash resources called
542
00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:01,120
video spy scripts
543
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,840
it's a free video scripting guide book
544
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,160
that helps you
545
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,200
get started to plan script and outline
546
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,320
your marketing
547
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,120
messages alright so go off
548
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,480
get your videos scripted get them
549
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:15,919
recorded and get them
550
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,280
published don't allow the
551
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:22,960
perfection of the perfectly edited video
552
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,120
or the perfectly crafted and scripted
553
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,200
marketing message to keep you from
554
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,480
simply just publishing and testing these
555
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,960
messages
556
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,679
and getting more confident with being on
557
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000
camera
558
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:36,160
because bni camera will make the
559
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,520
difference between you being
560
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,600
visible and invisible in your industry
561
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960
and what that means is the difference
562
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,120
between invisibility
563
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,120
and visibility is the fact that your
564
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:49,520
customers will your audience will
565
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:51,039
actually know you exist and then be
566
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,600
