5 Steps To Making A Video

By Rose Marie D'Amico


Want to know how to create do-it-yourself marketing videos for your business? I grew up making online marketing videos with my parent's camcorder.

Today, it's a bit easier. And the technology we have today has allowed me to raise-the-bar on the quality of my videos (using tool like my iPhone!) and help me generate over 1.7 Million views just on my YouTube Channel.

So whether you are an online entrepreneur, local business owner, author or coach, you can start making quick and easy videos with these simple steps.

First, you need to identify the OBJECTIVE of your video.

What do you want to accomplish? Identify this first, and it will become much easier to make your video a reality.

Step #2: Script it. Take a moment to plan and script your video. Be concise and keep your video short.

If you don't, you'll end up rambling on and on and on. It may seem like more time, but it will save you time in the long run...trust me. The filming and editing can be brutal if you haven't planned properly.

Make sure to grab a tripod, and properly lighting so your video looks more professional.

We've used iPhones, GoPRO's, dSLRs, and handycams. The best camera is the one that you will actually use.

Make sure to grab a tripod, and properly lighting so your video looks more professional.

The next step is to edit your original footage. The software I recommend is Screenflow (Mac only). If you're on a PC, I recommend Sony Vegas or Camtasia. Editing is ery time-consuming, so if you can: outsource the editing! It will save sooo much time and money!

Now, export that video of yours and let's broadcast it to the world: AKA: YOUTUBE!

This most likely means you'll be posting your video to YouTube.com.

Take the time to give your youtube video a proper title, description and tags so you optimize it for a highly searched keyword or keyword phrase.

Don't let technology or a fear of being in front of the camera hold you back. Take action now to start making multiple marketing videos in your business so you can get more traffic and build a powerful brand that gets you more sales!

Failure to do so, can prevent your video from ever being viewed or seeing by anyone. Take it from someone who has + 2 Million views.
