Video Creation That Get's You Attention And Leads, WITHOUT Selling Like a Slime-ball.

Im going to start off by saying getting leads is never done by 1 single thing.

Getting leads is the culmination of all of your sales systems and your branding systems working together to build trust.

But I will say this, I have seen some things work way better than others.

I've seen the information I am going to tell you, work for almost every industry I have ever done videos for.

Creating marketing or good videos isn't that hard.

But it is important that you know who you are speaking too.

Which is why most people fail to make good videos.

Somewhere along the line someone told them, talking about themselves (come on man you aren't that great #sorrynotsorry) is the key to getting business... Huh?

Then someone else must have told them to race to the bottom and lead with their offer as a selling point. Which then what makes you any different than the school down the road?

Offers are great when used correctly. But not as the first line of offense. Plus you wind up attracting people that care more about the lowest price than the value of your program.

Now these same people are saying you need to build trust. Something I have been saying you need to do if you go back to my posts almost 4 years ago. Everyone scoffed. I was ridiculed. "SALES is what matters most" No duh-Sherlock.

But HOW you get sales and how I get sales are very different my man.

Funny those same people who contested me back then are now saying exactly what I have been saying all along.

Connect. Build Trust. Give Value - Focus on caring. Engage. Focus on being a REAL person not a cartoon charecter...

All of the hot topics being touted now - only problem is... Most of those cats are like dead drift wood in videos. Lot of puffery. No charisma.

If there is one thing I know how to do is get the goosebumps going and flowing with videos. In the great worlds of Mr. Shawn Carter.

I saw recently someone saying people need to "tell stories".

So my question is do you know how to tell a story?

I know most people don't. They think talking about themselves is telling a story. It isn't. It's self centered. It makes YOU feel good and that's about it.

Designers, writers, film makers are inherent story tellers.

That's what we do with images, pictures, words, and pieces of color, moving things and splashes of sound.

Marketers may be good at it but fundamentally most marketers today are still at it like used car salesmen. Looking for the sale right out of the gate. Without trust. Looking for a kiss without conversation. Looking for the digits way too early guy. So wack and so 1990.

So let me help you get up to speed.

There are 3 things you need to do to make your videos BLOW UP.

1) Know your audience

Research your audience well. Ask the hard questions. Do the hard work. Do not surmise or guess. Doing that in business is as good as taking a bunch of postcards and dropping them out a plane hoping someone sees one.

Do the hard work. Ask the hard questions.

A) Ask questions. Real questions. The type you shy away from in fear of bruising your ego. Those are the ones that will set your business up for success.

B) Survey your audience - You can do this anonymously using Wufoo forms or something similar - ask where they are stuck, how did they feel before they trained with you. etc.

C) Ask questions (without trying to sell them something) on Facebook.
Here's an example of what I have done - No ONE wants to be pushed in to selling. Start attracting! Stop acting like a tugboat! Act like a lighthouse.

2) Stop talking about yourself.
