How to Create Better Videos For Your BusinessWith Ross Coverdale Video Editor & Producer

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

ABOUT

VIDEO EDITING COACHING VIDEOGRAPHY

Using the raw footage you’ve filmed, or I’ve helped you produce, I then edit your footage together, resulting

in a ready-to-publish, polished piece of video

content.

I offer advice on your technical set-up, strategy, and coach you one-on-one

on your performance on camera – helping you

become the best you can be in your video marketing.

If you need someone on-hand to step behind the

camera, you can concentrate on what you do best:

creating your content and communicating with your

customers and clients.

TIMEMaking videos takes time (sorry)

Can you find ways to save time setting up?

But! The more you do it, the quicker and easier it will become

FEARYou don’t need to be ‘broadcast ready’

You will care about the way you look, the way you sound, and how you come across a lot more than anyone else will

Embrace the messy, but always try to improve

PLANNING

WHAT SHOULD I TALK ABOUT?Research! What questions/keywords are people asking questions about in your area of expertise?

Review questions from your customers/clients

CATEGORIESSeries of videos are good, but try to keep things mixed up enough for variety:

Product/Service questions – e.g. Who is this for?Tutorials – e.g. How to… Behind the scenes – e.g. How I…Events – e.g. My time at…
