Congratulations! You Are The Producer.

Congratulations! You have the best job in show business. You are in charge of everything and responsible for none of it. In other words, you paid for all this!

Seriously though, you have little interest in learning the ground level skills required to dream up amazing content, shoot and edit it, but you do want to have a hand in what happens to it next.

For you, video marketing strategy is key to building a video strategy. And of course this explains your interest in the ROI of doing video.

The best way for you to get started would be to develop a strategy for having your videos written, then deployed in the right places with the right calls to action to the right places. Then you should interview video production companies. Check out how they are marketing themselves, and if you’re a fit, go for it. This is a very personal business, and you’ll have to get along really well for your videos to be successful.

That's why I created this. It's to help someone forever shift the way a market sees a business that can use video. In brief, how they can transform themselves from invisible expert to trusted authority.

Congratulations! You Are The Director.

As a died-in-the wool techie, you’ve never met a technical challenge you couldn’t conquer. You have a genuine interest in learning all you can about how to make your handling of sight and sound second to none.

Your biggest problem may be that you don’t know when to stop. You need to incorporate the old producer’s adage “Videos are never really finished. They’re just abandoned.” That may sound harsh, but it’s actually quite true.

Up to a point there are benefits to your audience in terms of how comfortable you make it for them to watch. But you can cross a line where the only person who sees the difference in that one spot where there are a few too many red pixels…is you.

Focus your attention on creating systems for making video, so that each time it only takes the amount of time it takes to read the script. That’s a goal worthy of your skill!

Congratulations! You Are

The Writer/Performer

It’s not easy being on display all the time unless you love what you do. And you do. So being on camera is just part of the gig for you.

Looking your best is a concern, but it doesn’t hold a candle to your mad attention to detail in your scripts. It’s got to be clear, compelling and strike the right tone with your tribe. Otherwise it’s not worth your time.

You might even shoot a script, then see it in editing, throw the whole thing out and start over fresh. That’s the kind of ferocious obligation you feel to your mission.

And if you were just writing articles, that would be enough. But as you’ve chosen video, you have a choice to make. Can you be satisfied with a simpler, yet clean level of production quality, or do you need to hire someone to shoot greenscreen for you?

See, it’s not that you can’t do it yourself. You’re plenty smart enough. It’s just that you don’t naturally think that way. But your score indicates you could if you really wanted to. Were I you and budget-challenged, I would spend some time developing a simple system for shooting and editing that didn’t tax me each time I went to make a video.

That way you could focus more of your attention on the message, and each shoot will only consume the amount of time it takes to read the script.

You might also spend some time on building an authority-based distribution system for your completed videos, so they go in the right place and get in front of the right people, with the right calls to action.

Those are goals worthy of your skills.

That's why I created this.

Congratulations! You Are The Auteur.

The only question here is why haven’t you done this before now. Among all the people who have an interest in using video to move their businesses forward, you have all the skills in the right measure to make this very successful, all by yourself. But that doesn’t mean you have to.

One of the problems of being an auteur is that you have a singular vision which may make it hard to find others who can help you in the various functions of making video.

The hardest will be the writing. Everyone’s style will feel too this or that; too boring or too cutesy; too dry or too conceptual. You probably should remain in the writing role and maybe find others who can shoot and edit, unless those are really fun for you and you’re really good and fast at it.

Where you may really need help is in the strategy piece. This is the only part where you have less of a feel for what needs to be done.

That's why I created this.
