Making a video questions

I would be interested in this too.

Cool, now I'm assuming that you are wanting to make the video for the chipfixx.ca website. If this is true, then I'm on the right track, so to speak...

When I start the process of making a video, planning is key and I tend to always start with "what is the purpose of this video?". So what I can gather from your website is they you offer low cost and easy to do fixes on cars. I.E. chipped paint, dents, etc...

So, what is the main purpose of somebody wanting to get their car repainted? Now I'm am no expert in the DIY car repairing business, but if I can an ugly spot on my car that I wanted repainted, the main purpose of me wanting it repaired is to have people notice my car.

You will know the answer to that question better than me, after I have found the purpose of the video I want to create it because a matter of creating the script around that purpose.

Which I have a simple formula that I follow, and here it is:

Step 1: Pattern Break - You mention you are wanting to put this on YouTube, you GOT to understand the mindset of somebody surfing YouTube, they are there mainly for entertainment (*hint: Your video should be both entertaining and instructional). Now a pattern break is simple, it is ANYTHING that breaks the mindset (pattern) of the traffic (YouTube visitors) and makes them pay attention to your video.

Your YouTube Analytics will tell you if you've done this correctly.

Step 2: Delivering the content, this is where the instructional part of the video comes into play. To better understand this part, there are two basic questions I always want to answer...

A. Here is what I got...
B. Here is what it will do for you...

Make sure you answer those questions (important), and if you have any social proof (testimonials) then you can add a "C" question: Here are the results others have gotten using this...

Step 3: Your Call to Action, Finally rap it up with a STRONG call to action, basically tell them what to do next. It can be anything and the more straight forward you are, the more people will take you seriously.

Something like: Quickly go to chipflixx.ca for a free diagnostic check on your car...

Make sure you give them a reason why to check your website.

I hope that helps and if you are wanting a good example of this formula in action, then here is a cool little commercial about selling razors.


Hope it helps,
