The easiest way to get people’s attention is through video. Especially one minute videos. No
one is going to watch a 3 minute video if they don’t know who you are. Attention spans on
social channels are brief. The average watch time for a video on Facebook is only 6
seconds. You must learn to grab their attention quickly and pull them into the
story you are trying to tell.
This isn’t as hard as it seems, you just have to start. So, pick up your phone, point it at
yourself and tell us why you’re doing the work that you’re doing. Start with, “when I was...”
then tell us, “I Believe that...” and finally, “I am...” and how that led you to the work you do
now. This program teaches you how to make engaging one minute videos so you can
generate the attention you desire for your brand or business. No one made a good one
minute video on their first try, so start now, make a lot of them.
You can test them and compare them against our Standards of Excellence, put money
behind the winners, and capitalize on your most engaged videos. Before you know it, you’ll
have hours of content generating interest for your business or brand.
Assignment:
Post a one minute video in the group to introduce yourself to other members and
the CoachYu team. You must mention you got the One Minute Video program, since
no response to the required eld is automatic rejection.

1: When I was...
2: I believe...
3: I started…
This format has worked well for me in the past in helping me figure out the best way to tell
my story. If you've been holding back, maybe this is a quick step you can follow to get a
video out there and start getting some motivation and momentum around your story.
Have as much open space behind the subject you are interviewing.
If you're tired, to help make you look fresh, put some ice under your eyes. It reduces
the puffiness making you look vibrant and reenergized.
It's the little details that matter, which show through if you put in enough time to notice.
For example, on creating iPhone videos to market your business:
You cannot switch from front to rear camera while filming with the camera. So you
either have to use another app or manually flip the phone in your hand.
You can reply with a video in Gmail by hitting the attachment icon and then photos
icon. Way more powerful than text replies.
Sound quality is WAY more important than video quality to keep people watching
your videos. If you have an iPhone and a regular lavalier mic, you need a TRS to
TRRS adapter (2 lines to 3 lines on the plug) and a TRRS to lighting adapter. I use the
Rode Wireless Go and have to buy these two gadgets, which don't come in the box.
You can comment on a Facebook post with a video, but you can't do this on
LinkedIn-- only a picture.
You have 15 seconds to reply in Facebook Messenger, so learn how to keep it short--
or make multiple 15-second replies.
You can share your phone screen if you're a presenter in a Zoom call. And
everything works great (just like if you're projecting to Apple TV), except when you're
recording video-- since the two interfere with each other. So pre-record your videos
(stored in your favorite app) or switch to a desktop webcam to show you using your
phone.
Google Photos app is super slow in uploading your videos from your photos library
on your phone. So also pay for iCloud, Dropbox, and Amazon Photos (another $10
each per month) to have your videos automatically backed-up). You will have to
keep these apps open every week to let it catch up, since uploads are faster when
the app is open.
Film vertically (portrait mode) most of the time if you're reaching mobile users, but
horizontal if an interview or in a webinar app.
Zoom records participant videos, but GoToWebinar does not. We had GoToMeeting/
GoToWebinar for 10 years but switched because of this.
Amazon Photos has the smartest facial recognition and easiest way to share groups
of pictures (instead of having to select each picture/video, one-by-one) with your
external people (like freelancers and partners).
Once you've built your Topic Wheel with at least 3 topics and 3 people each for you
to interview, it's time to seed your Content Library with videos that you create.
Start by listing out questions that you can answer in one minute. 60 seconds isn't
long, so choose topics you can properly cover in that time-frame.
Avoid being too ambitious -- break bigger topics into smaller chunks. Your audience
prefers to consume many small tidbits versus sitting through a full hour of you
talking, especially with 80% of these being consumed on their phones.
If you have an iPhone, use the notes app to keep track of these topics and continue
to add, as thoughts pop up. You can use a daily planner or whatever it is with your
way of organizing your time.
When you're ready to lm, make sure you have a well-lit location. You don't need
fancy equipment, but having a pro set up doesn't hurt. Just don't let an apparent
need for pro equipment stop you from making videos.
Avoid using profanity if you're planning on uploading to Facebook since the usage of
profanity is against Facebook's guidelines.
● Most people, even pros, are camera shy. Standing in front of a camera with the
lights glaring at you and mic clipped to you is intimidating.
● If your subject is tense, their videos won't be as good. You'll be there much longer
doing multiple takes, and nobody will be happy with the result.
● Get around this by shooting your one-minute videos as an interview. The subject
can sit comfortably in a chair facing the interviewer, who can be on or off camera
(depending on whether you're doing a two camera shoot).
● They can naturally answer the questions while facing the interviewer, while
pretending the camera isn't even there.
➔ Only keep the footage you plan on using in order to save time when editing.
➔ If the subject is really shy or psyched out by the camera, you can run the camera
continuously, instead of starting and stopping.
➔ This requires more effort on the editing side since you can’t clap or motion to
unmark sequence starting and end points. But the subject can comfortably know
they can restart any botched sentence with no pressure of being "perfect".
➔ If they do restart a phrase, let them know to wait 2 seconds before restarting, so we
can splice cleanly.
➔ Another trick to reduce tension for subjects that aren't experienced pros in front of
the camera (which is 99% of us), is to use a boom mic instead of a lapel mic. Snaking
a lapel mic down someone's shirt can be invasive, adding to the tension. Plus, when
viewers see that lapel mic on the subject, they don't have a natural look.
➔ A boom mic gives a fuller sound, so long as you're shooting in a quiet environment --
don't do this at a conference with people milling about.
➔ If you have two cameras, use both whenever you are shooting your video. Especially
if someone is helping you shoot the video, the extra camera set up and file upload
takes another 10 minutes at most for a huge payoff.
➔ If your equipment allows, ensure that you are doing so in 4k and upload the footage
in 4k as well.
➔ Choose or set up the background of your videos to enhance visual aesthetics to help
create a far better composition of what you shoot, which will lead to more people
engaging in the content.
➔ If you have 2 cameras shooting in 4k, you effectively create 4 camera angles because
when you crop for punch-ins, the footage will still be at a 1080p resolution.
Assignment: Identify the three items above for your business/brand and upload a word
document.

Having bumpers at the start of your videos is a good way to get people to STOP
watching your videos instantly.

Learn how to boost posts effectively on Facebook. Check out our Facebook Dollar a
Day program. https://blitzmetrics.com/fdd/
You may boost multiple posts that stack up, spending a dollar a day each. Over time, you
might spend $50 a day across 50 posts, or a budget that makes sense, as you accumulate
more evergreen posts for different users at different stages in the funnel.
For example, you may boost a post each day that runs for a week to promote the next
webinar you’re hosting and end up boosting 5-10 posts over the program of a week that
are running together at a dollar a day.
