    Complete transparency throughout the video. And here's why-

    If you want me to buy something from you, then you first have to make me trust you first. Because ultimately I don't care about your product features or anything else you say until I can determine that you're the type of person who is honest and worth listening to. So in your video, you start by trying to build connections with your listeners outside of what you're selling...which gives you later testimonials and insights a whole lot more weight.

    If the video keeps on telling me how much I can earn within days (some even hours?) with "secret method" without telling me how I get benefit from the product, SORRY, I won't buy it and I will close the window.

    2 years ago, many many times someone send me offer, there were many many times I didn't know what the products were. Until I bought the products and get access to the so-called member area, only then I could 'see' the products. Out of 10 products I bought, 7 - 8 of them I will request for refund because the products dont meet their over-hyped claims as in their sales video.

    Now, I will only buy products that sincerely tell me how it works and how I can benefit from it. Keeps on telling me how much sales I can make or how big the house I can own within few months, sorry, I will let it go.

      It's being able to clearly communicate efficiently and effectively a complete idea that overcomes all your customer's objections, and leave them clearly understanding how your product will benefit them.

      Here's an article I wrote that is the most valuable thing I could offer to help you improve the quality of your videos (and all your content):

      Since customers online are already looking for what you offer, the only thing stopping them from buying is an objection to one of 3 things- your content eliminates all these objections, leaving only the confidence in their purchase.

      The purpose of great content is to achieve 3 objectives:

      1. Have engaging content that maintains attention
      2. Educate them about your product and sell your solution
      3. Eliminate all objections stopping them from buying

      Your customer mentally goes through a very specific process when making a decision,
      and you must understand this in order to be able to create the most powerful marketing possible.

      In order to make the sale, you need to be able to communicate a complete idea, and you must overcome your customer's objections in a very specific order.

      When designing content, there are 3 things your customer needs to know before they feel comfortable buying your product:

      Why, what, and how.

      First you need to educate your customer on why your product can help them - the benefits they're going to get, and pain they'll avoid by listening to what you have to say.
      Second, you educate them on what your product is - you show them why you're qualified to teach them, and introduce the blueprint for how your product is going to deliver results.
      Third, you educate them on how to go out into the world and apply this information.
      Throughout this example, I'm going to pretend I'm selling you a GPS - it shows you how to get navigate roads and streets.

      You don't want to buy one based on that description.

      I'm going to show you a scientific formula for selling the same product with maximum persuasion.
      Why

      First, your customer is asking themselves:

      "Why should I listen to this person? how is this content going to help me? Is this person even interested in helping me, or just trying to sell something?"

      This is the salesman stage, where you're persuading them of the value of you and your product.

      Your customer needs to know why they should care, or read your content, and your job is to make connections between your material, the benefit they get from taking time to read your page.

      You're telling them why your product is such a miracle, all the great things they'll get, how it will erase all their fears, and what they'll move toward by learning this information.

      An example of this is:

      "If you don't have a map, you're not going to know how to get to your destination, get lost trying to find your way to places the fastest way possible.

      Imagine missing a doctor's appointment, and having to deal with 2 hours on the phone trying to reschedule, because you took a wrong turn, or weren't able to get there on time - is it worth $50 to avoid the hassle?

      Imagine the tears in your child's eyes when you miss your child's soccer game, because you couldn't find your way to the school - is that worth another $25?

      Then, imagine the joy on his face when you show up smiling and show him how proud you are, all because you had a GPS"

      You're selling what your customer is going to gain from your product, and what they're going to avoid by not investing in it.

      What

      Second, once your customer knows what your product will do for them, they want to know how it works, and how it's going to deliver the benefits they want.

      This is the stage where you transition from being a salesman to showing you're a true expert, and can walk the walk on your product.

      This is the super scientific stage, where you eliminate all the hype, and focus on a description of what your product is going to do for them.

      This is the stage where you convince your customer of all they hype - they know you know the facts and walk the walk, and deliver on all the promises you initially made.
      In this stage, you want to present charts, facts, theories, data etc. about why your product is the best to persuade their logical mind, and eliminate skepticism .

      An example of this is:

      "If you have a map of step-by-step directions, you can find your way anywhere instantly, imagine being able to go anywhere in the country knowing exactly what turns to take, avoiding all traffic and construction, because the computer detects traffic and makes sure you're sent on the fastest route possible."

      You explain what your product is (automated verbal direction delivery system), and how your solution relates back to thewhy (you can effortlessly get anywhere you want to go as fast as possible).

      Once you've grabbed their attention,the 3rd step is to show them how to go out and use the technique, and translate the product into results.

      How

      Third, now that you've grabbed their attention, and persuaded them of your expertise, you need to make it worth their while for reading by giving them the answer to "how do I do it?"
      At this stage, your customer wants a step-by-step procedure, recipe, and process - how they can take out into the world and apply their new insights to the real world to get real result.

      You're selling a small taste of how your product will benefit their life on a much larger scale if they purchase it, by giving them a real-world demonstration.

      An example of this:

      "Go out right now, turn left, in one km down the road turn left, take a right at the first set of lights, then arrive at your destination."

      Imagine being able to go anywhere in the country knowing exactly what steps to take, and how easy it would be to get anywhere you want as fast as possible, and never get lost again.

      Once you understand why your customer is buying, how to craft your headline, and how to construct incredible content, your next step is learning the biggest mistakes most marketers make, so you can make sure you avoid them.

      Hope that helps!

    Keep in mind that the first thing your viewers or your audience sees and catches their attention before they can even click the play button is your "video headline" or "video title" then they will be reading next that very short excerpt or video summary you have! These are attention grabber!

    So in short, it's not enough to have high-quality videos. You should know how to present them to your audience. And having a powerful and compelling video headline with enticing excerpt or video summary will definitely attract your audience to click on the play button of your video!
