How To Make Video For Offline Business?

Hey buddy,

I was just browsing and I saw your course on ranking on youtube...I thought I was pretty good at ranking, but your course is amazing. Far better than most of the paid courses on here!!!

Thank you very much

Listen to this guy.

If I were starting right now with no video production knowledge I would do three things simultaniously.

1. Research local market prices for TV commercials and video production. Let me tell you secret about it. Local TV STATIONS give commercials away for pracitally nothing. I know because I used to be the guy making those spots. At the most they would charge $150. Buy enough airtime and they charge $0. Air time is where they make their money.

Most Ad agencies hire production companies to do spots. These can run from $500 for something that looks better than local to several thousands to look regional or national. Of course the agency puts their fees on top of this. I did agency work on a freelance basis for several years. I did a 10k job for a hospital only to find out the agency billed the work at nearly 25k. This is the real money game. Call local production houses and ask them what they charge an hour. I know some that charge $80-175 an hour for editing/production time. And they get it.

Find a middle of the road production company to partner with. Look at their work and see if they can do any better than you can for yourself. See if their clients are the in the same financial bracket as the clients you want to go after. There are low end, mid range and high end video production companies who cater to every part of the market.

2. Learn as much as you can on video production forums and websites. Not just on the warrior forum. Most of these guys here know the bare basics of producing quality videos. I mean real quality. Now a customer is paying for the video to generate him leads, that's what he wants it to do. But the customer tends to have the mentality that the better it looks, the better it will work. Some who are broke don't, but the ones who have money, that's the mentality sometimes. Now small businesses just getting started or on small budgets, they will accept it if the price is affordable and it actually works on generating leads. But still, the better the video, the extra you can tack on. This is about making money after all.


3. If you are a complete newbie, I recommend Peter Beatle's video revolver and spending a metric ton of time over on reelseo.com to work on your seo side of things if you are offering that.. Google it. No affiliate link spam here. I'm not saying you can't learn it all on your own. You can, you can dig around the internet and find I'd say about 80 - 90% of the stuff he's teaching. The problem with being a newbie is that you don't know what you need. The reason why i recommend it, it's because he walks you through the process step by step. Also he was great about answering questions on his membership page and in email. I had a few sticking points and he worked through them with me. When you don't know what you are doing, is exactly what you need. If I were to teach a class on video marketing basics I would straight up rip Peter off. His program combined with a few classic threads, a few war room posts and some mentoring are what I'm using right now for my video marketing campaign.

4. If you can't partner with a local video production company, look into hiring a warrior or a fiverr guy. Test them out by having them make videos to market your video marketing services. You should be your own first client.

Oops. I said 3. I meant 4.

I personally would look into all of these and see what is a. easiest to get started on. b. will serve your customers and c. will help you make the most profit.

Good luck.

Let me also try those 2, been looking for this also. Thanks for the share.

I started out with Videos for Restaurants.....using PhotoStory3 and Windows Movie Maker and still using PS3....although ProShowGold offers more "professionalism".

Here's one of my first (although I paid a guy to use my photos to make this. He might have used Animoto)


I then went to PS3 and found it to allow me to "Do It Myself".


I considered using "REAL" Videos (like these; Video Something - Video Business Directory, Austin, Texas, restaurants, small businesses, local businesses, keep austin weird)

But....getting "real" people to appear ON CAMERA was a "Bear"...for me!

And...I'd have to invest in a lot of equipment and learn how to use it.

So rather than buying a Camera and all the eguipment needed for "Professional" videos....I found that just taking Digital STILL Shots of the outside, inside, staff, plates of food specialties.....then using PS3 or ProShowGold....was what Biz Onwers were willing to PAY for.

Also....I use a Portable DVD Player to show my Demos and....the Actual Videos I sell to biz owners.

"Zesh Ali" has a new WSO about making videos for offline videos.

Thanks redshifted, I would like to see that.

but how much do you pay?

Some warriors seem to think that a new WSO called Mining Video Gold is worth a look see.
It's by Ed Akehurst (and Ed Mercer and Martha) and costs less than$15.
Why not use the searchbox feature above, type in edakehurst and follow your nose?

I'm not an affiliate, so do your own due diligence.
I'm a newbie who thinks that the future of IM for offline will be done via video, facebook and mobile friendly media.

Cheers and good luck !!

Wow. Way too much work being suggested here for video production. You can make your own using the same tools as you do IM videos. Screencaster and presentation software is all you need. Add some pictures, script and a call to action.

Couple samples I knocked off with about an hour of work for each >
