What I Now Know About Video Marketing After 8 Years

Eight years. Eight years of navigating the ever-evolving landscape of video marketing.  It feels like just yesterday I was fumbling with lighting setups and struggling to get the audio right. Back then, I thought I had it all figured out. I had big ideas about viral videos and instant success. Now, looking back, I realize …

June Updates (VIDEO)

It’s been some time since I’ve made a video, and some SOME time since I’ve done so with any sort of consistency. But we’re back at it and have a lot planned. Not to say it’s all going to work out (in fact, I imagine most of it won’t!) but, what doesn’t work will provide …

2019 DragonCon Video Highlight Reel

If you had seen a few months back, I stated that at Dragoncon this year, I would be focused on improving my videography skills. The plan was to bull doze into many new areas in all of pre-production, production AND in post. Specifically I worked on: In-Camera transitions. (see 0:23 the TARDIS to Dcon sign, …

Consistency > Perfection with Video

I think it’s a common desire, the elusive “Being Discovered”. The thought goes, “If I put forth this ONE. PERFECT. THING. someone will see it and notice me. I will be whisked away into stardom and fame befitting my awesomeness.” I’m not here to crush all your dreams. There is always that CHANCE. And, there …

I’m not cosplaying at Dragon*Con 2019 and here’s why

Last year I went to Dragon*Con 2018 for the first time after being completely jealous on September 3, 2017 when my friends who had went told me all the fun things they had done. When I went last year, I brought costumes with me and during the four days I was there became Regular Sailor …

It started with a donut…

What did you do to your hand? The short answer is “I punched a wall”, the long answer is a little more embarrassing and a little  (okay, a lot) less indicative of anger problems.  On a totally nondescript Friday evening, after a productive (I think?) day of work, I was set about to sit down …

When you lose your lenses in Amsterdam, you buy new stuff and unbox it online (video)

I mentioned in my last blog that I lost my lenses on my and my husband’s honeymoon/1 year trip to Amsterdam, and that I ordered new stuff and would do an unboxing. Ta da! Done. In this video, we look at a Canon 80D body, Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, Sigma 10-20mm 3.5 lens and a …

Man, eight years. A lot of it wasn't what I expect Man, eight years. A lot of it wasn't what I expected. 

One, I've seen videos with millions of views that did absolutely nothing for a business. I've also seen videos with under 100 views (I think it was more like 12 if I'm remembering correctly) lead to big 'ole sales. It's not about the vanity metrics. It's about the people who actually care, who interact with your content, who trust you. Those are the folks who become your customers and your brand advocates. You want conversions, you want engagement, you want to build trust? Focus on quality but not in the superficial stuff. Give your audience what they want and need from you to help them be successful. 

Two, video works best when it's part of your marketing strategy. You can't just throw up a video and expect magic to happen. You need to integrate it with your email marketing, your website, your social media, your sales funnel – everything. It's a whole ecosystem, and video is a crucial part of it.

But here's the biggest lesson I've learned: you don't have to be perfect. You really don't. In fact, trying to be perfect can actually hurt you. People are tired of seeing polished, airbrushed, fake versions of reality. They want realness. They want to see the human behind the brand. It builds trust. And trust is everything.

It's been an incredible journey, and I'm still learning every day. 

Just jotted down some of my random thoughts after 8 years in the video marketing biz. If you're into that kind of thing, comment 'BLOG' and I'll send you the link.

Ouch. That's uncomfortable. 😬 If you're not us Ouch. That's uncomfortable. 😬

If you're not using video to showcase your business, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to connect with potential customers and grow your brand. People are scrolling faster than ever, and if you're not popping up with something engaging and moving, you're just a thumb-swipe away from being forgotten.

Plus let's be real, watching a quick video is way easier than reading a novel-length post. 

So, if you're ready to ditch the digital dinosaur act and actually get your business seen, comment "VIDEO" below and let's get you started. No more excuses, just straight up, fun, and engaging video content.
Yeah, you read that right. 53 TIMES!   We dove in Yeah, you read that right. 53 TIMES!
 
We dove into a fascinating article that broke down the numbers, and it's pretty mind-blowing.
 
So, why is video so effective? Well, Google loves engaging content. Videos keep people on your website longer, signaling to Google that your site is valuable and relevant.
 
In fact, videos can increase your website's conversion rates by up to 80%! That's because they build trust, showcase your products or services in action, and tell your brand story in a way that resonates.
 
Do you want that kind of impact for your website?
 
We're here to help you leverage the power of video 😉 Comment VIDEO and we'll send you the link to our booking page.
