It is not big trick for a small business, entrepreneur, coach, speaker, author or consultant to stand up anymore. Never in the history of human kind has it been so easy. No matter what your product, service, event, or cause, you can create a platform.
The trick is how are you going to stand out in such a busy, noisy, crowded world? And how do you do it with video? Video is King (and Queen) now.
I don’t hear people talk about this much. Most figure if they build a great mouse trap, others will magically hear about it, and the sales will come flowing in. Nothing could be further from the truth. So what do you do?
I am going to give you a couple of little Media Polishing secrets that will help you as you try to get noticed through your videos.
Get to the point. Don’t take time to lay the groundwork. Don’t try to warm things up and eventually get to what it is you want to say. And whatever you do, don’t start your videos with, “Hi, My name is…” Start with the hook. Start with the climax of your message, and then fill in the gaps.
Know your market and who you’re talking to. I find far too often that many people have a problem zeroing in on a target market because they’re afraid of leaving someone out. The best advice is to pick a market and speak directly to them. You can expand out later, but initially, start with your key client or customer. Otherwise, you may find yourself waiting and waiting and waiting to get those videos done.
