If a picture is worth a thousand words What's the value of a video? Turns out someone has actually done the math According to researchers A single video is worth 1.8 million words. 1.8 million words here we go! I'm done! Can you imagine how long it would take you to write that much? We all know time is money So why aren't more companies investing in video marketing? Our budget projections for
the third quarter are cautiously optimistic But margins are tight. As previously stated, if it is not in the marketing budget. Stanley wait wait! Stanley, video production costs have dropped so much in recent years that will all due respect, we don't even need the budget to make this happen In fact I can do this with my phone The thing is, we have a comprehensive marketing strategy that we have developed through
years of careful research and analysis We just can't compromise that for some passing trend But video marketing is essential for us to maintain our competitive advantage By 2017, 70% of all consumer internet traffic will be video. and three-fourths of all companies will have video as part of their marketing strategy So the way I see it, we really have 2 choices Use video marketing to stay ahead or just fall behind Our

What am I going to talk about today? In today’s episode of The Big Vision Show we’re going to talk about how to do killer videos that inspire people to respond to you. Hi there. My name is Max Simon. Welcome to The Big Vision Show. This is all about how you can do things like make killer videos that people love. So here’s the thing, I’ve
been in this marketing world for a few years now and you see all sorts of stuff going around like people doing sales pages and people doing emails and if there’s one thing I can say that is radically and dramatically helped me to get my message out and build credibility and inspire people to invest in our programs, it’s video. And so today I figured since everybody’s all freaked out
about doing video, we’d do a video for you about how to do video. Cool? Cool. The first thing to realize is that even though you’re talking to a camera, always remember that you’re talking to your people, you’re talking to your audience. So even though I’m looking at this little funny camera box right here, I know I’m talking to you, the person watching. And because of that I can
interact with you and have a conversation with you and be myself with you in the same way I would if you’re in front of me. So the first point, which is like one of those mindset points, is don’t talk to a camera, talk to an individual; talk to the person that you want to speak to and reach with your message because then you won’t sound like, “Hello,
I’m doing video,” which is kind of creepy. Step number two is don’t do video against a flat surface. Let me show you what I mean. This is me against a flat wall, you see how that makes me look; super flat and almost one dimensional? Instead what’s important is that you actually put yourself in a place where there’s some space behind you, that way you separate yourself from the background and
actually look like a real human being. The third thing is to make sure that you have a good opening fast, something quickly that draws people in. In fact, studies have shown that people will turn off your video within four seconds if you don’t capture their attention right away. So don’t be like, “Hello, my name is Max and today I’d like to share with you a video.” Boring!
You need to have something that right off the bat grabs them. So bring your energy levels up, be more compelling and think of what you’re going to say right off the bat that will suck them in. The fourth thing which is very important even if you don’t have all the fancy equipment is you have to have some kind of decent light. So let me give you an example;
this is me with lights on, this is me with lights off. With lights I look like there’s a lot of energy and I look like a real human being with color in my face and like I’m somebody not sitting in a dark closet. And without lights I feel like I’m sitting in a dark closet. So the important thing here is you don’t need to have lighting necessarily, even
though it’s a good investment, but you do need to be surrounded by natural lighting. So go shoot your video in front of a window so that the natural light is hitting your face. Or do it outside where there’s lots of light because if you’re not well lit, which happens in most internet videos, you look like the creepy stalker in the closet. And the fifth and final point of
doing great video, at least for today, is make sure you have fun with it. I can tell you the content and the words and the exact phrases you say, they don’t matter as much as having a good time, of showcasing who you are, of letting your personality kind of shine through. So if you have to like shake yourself off a little bit and do some jumping jacks
and have somebody behind the camera laugh at you, do that because if you’re lighthearted and having fun about the whole process, I assure you everybody on the other end of the camera will like it a lot more. So that’s it for today and here’s my question of the day for you. What else do you want to know about video? What are some challenges or questions that you
have? Go ahead and leave them in the comments section below and we’ll either respond right away and we’ll make a whole other video about them for you. And I will say this, if you are itching to get better at video, hit the little link right below. That will take you to an awesome training, all about how to create your own magnetic videos fast. So that’s it for today’s episode.
As always if you loved it, please hit the “Like” button, share it on Facebook, send it to all your friends, the ones that suck at video. And if you are not part of the Big Vision Business Insider Tribe, head on over to www.BigVisionBusiness.com and sign up for your free video updates coming to you every week. Thanks for your time. Hope you had fun with this one. I’ll
see you in the next episode. Much love.
