Six video marketing errors to stay clear of (according the creators of video content)

When he started creating video clips, Pat Walls, the founder of the Starter Story began to commit mistakes by chasing every idea that popped into his head. The company was able to put in many hours creating videos using ideas that were eventually scrapped. Believing in the power of planning, Pat discovered quickly that well planned-out concepts will save him the time and produce better content.
 
  In this post, we asked pro video producers to guide the reader through their most costly mistakes. They also discuss chasing after the trend, speaking too often or speeding up trying to make it right or perfect or perfect, and then spending a lot on equipment before being comfortable in front of the camera.
 
  You can hear from stars such as Jay Clouse, Jay Acunzo and Jayde I. Powell as they offer advice on how you can avoid the same mistakes that they made.

First mistake: not vetting your thoughts

If you don't put in enough time and effort to creating they eventually slows down your process and cost money.
 
  The man who wrote Starter Story Pat Walls began producing videos. He took this incredibly wrong choice. "So often I would just think of an idea only to spend more than 10,20, 30 or more hours trying to make this concept a actuality and then create the film - editing, filming afterwards, editing, and everything else."
 
  "I'd have saved a lot of time as well as moved more quickly by dedicating just a bit of time to thinking about the best way to make the most of my time." Pat admits. Pat.
 
  In reality the best-thought-out plans provide a framework for how to display your video using the title and thumbnail as well as keeping your spending in check and under management.

What can you do instead: Brainstorm and evaluate ideas prior to putting them into making

Start to think of ideas. Next, you must work on defining your ideas in a way that each shot in the film will help bring the idea to reality.
 
  Start with "putting twenty possible concepts on a spreadsheet, then grading the ideas from 1-10. Then, sort them from most to least according to their score then pick the top ones and then throw all other ideas," recommends Pat.
 
  A thing to keep in mind Don't grade concepts based on the ones that youthink are most effective you can verify the concepts based on:

• What is their significance for your ideal audience
• They are aligned with the experience you're offering or the product that you're promoting

Some of the best ideas are those that blend the two.
 
  The time you spend developing concepts will allow you to make videos that will attract viewers. Also, you won't have to rethink your ideas once the video has been created.

Additional suggestion:Identify who you're making videos for.

The success of any concept for video is contingent on the relevance to your target audience, ask yourself: what do my viewers want to interact with?
 
  Instead of making assumptions, look into what kind of questions your ideal viewers have related to the topic you're focusing on.
 
  Start by getting clear on:

• Who do you want to create videos
• What subjects do they research or study?
• Which channel(s) they watch videos on?

The best customers are those who you wish to market your product to. Put the keywords that describe them in an instrument that allows analysis of audience like SparkToro for determining the audience they are.

• Demographics (age and gender)
• Who are the people they follow on social media
• What do they discuss

Then, look over the users you follow on video-driven channels like TikTok and Instagram for an overview of the videos they're releasing. This isn't about copying their approach, but instead to find out what tone and the content of the videos the ideal viewer is taking part in.

Second mistake: Thinking that the power of online videos can be used to affect business results

Whatever your idea is it's not a guarantee that the video you create will be viewed by millions. It's impossible to predict what the viral videos can supply you, aside from the increase in your follower number. However, Dan Bennett of Video for Entrepreneurs states that a majority of beginner video creators are in search of virality.
 
  "Oftentimes when I'm working with individuals, particularly in the very beginning people are looking at video as something that's expensive and that they have to pay a substantial amount of money for the video, but this one is going to go out and perform all the heavy lifting on behalf of them." says Dan. "It's probably going to become a huge success. The trajectory of their company. Even though it occurs once in 10,000 video clips this is definitely not something to take for granted."

What to do instead: Be consistent

Don't believe that only one viral video will be enough to be successful in video marketing, consistently publish videos that inform, entertain and eventually improve sales. Dan recommends "putting together a collection of content, including numerous videos that are related to the same topic, and covering various aspects of the subject, and taking an individual on a voyage [with your assistanceby assisting them."
 
  The engine that plays video such as this can help you remain on top of your target audience's mind, and thereby ensuring that the audience trust you which is crucial to driving business results. Videos that are viral don't offer this, as people are only able to view it once and then, soon enough they'll be able to forget about it.

Mistake #3: Investing in gear before nailing camera presence

"We want to look as if we were in the role, and so we invest in the high-end lighting, the high-end microphone, and a costly camera, or pay for or invest time in editing process to produce flashy photos including gripping animations as well as vivid subtitles, emoticons, and B-roll and all these items," says Jay Acunzo who is co-founder of Creator Kitchen. Creator Kitchen as well as host of The The Unthinkable podcast.
 
  What's the issue? A fancy camera won't allow you to convey your main idea effectively until you master camera presence. Be aware of how you present yourself on videos, the way you present yourself, and the manner in which you share the story.
 
  "Because it is the case that effective video marketing is dependent on having a great microphone and camera, and even if you don't have that, all content is valuable until you've mastered the ability to get in a chair, or before a camera and produce," Jay points out.

What do you need to do instead? Master camera presence

"Put yourself under a time limit and create enough video content to are proficient (in front of the camera) before you commit to any amount of dollars or time such as budgets (team or personal) and attempting to become more proficient at incremental work," advises Jay. Check the recordings you've made to understand:

• How can I view the camera?
• Which non-verbal cues are engaging?
• And how can you ensure that your speech is moving to ensure maximum impact

Then, you are able to revisit the original content and edit the content you recorded.

Fourth blunder: talking too often

If you're too engaging and talkative, you can accidentally spill an abundance of details -creating confusion for viewers, and eventually dropping them entirely.
 
  Founder of The Em Dash Co and the host the popular The Creator Tea Talk, Jayde I. Powell has had to deal with similar. Jayde Powell. Powell explains "Oftentimes what happens is that as a marketer, I'm trying to communicate the message so quickly that I forget whom I'm talking with and what kind of content they're consuming or the reason they're consuming it in the first place."
 
  Over time, Jayde has realized, "A lot of my work as a content creator or content marketer requires me to collect a lot of data and transform into content that is new However, I have to make it more palatable."

How to deal with it: Plan your content, but don't over-plan it

• It is possible to refine your opening lines
• Remove sentences that do not help the overall theme.
• Remove or add specifics based upon the viewers' knowledge of the topic

It ensures that the details you give out are easy for your readers to comprehend and are relevant for your audience.

5th error: talking too quickly

Alongside being conscious of how much you're talking, pay attention to how you speed up the way you speak. If you speak too quickly you'll find it's difficult for viewers to follow along. If you speak too slowly, it is possible to get bored and lose viewers. In either case, a inattention to detail can diminish the effectiveness of your message since viewers aren't given enough time to process the information you're providing.
 
  The public speaking coach Nausheen I. Chen shares she used to be a fast-talking presenter in the past. "Maybe that was stress, adrenaline or the pressure of putting together super-video clips for social events It just felt as if I was on 1.5x speed at all times."
 
  "In actual fact I was preparing to think about everything with the exception of my capacity to talk. I considered the subject and also lighting, background and setting" Nausheen recalls. "But the truth is that you might be the best photographer with the finest lighting and most captivating photos, but you aren't able to present your self on camera in the right way and you're not certain of the best way to alter your speed and create the pauses, your message might be lost."

What do you need to do? Check your speed, and note your breaks

Sin #6: Struggling to get the ideal outcome

"When I first into videomaking the mistake I'd made throughout the entire process was attempting to make the perfect video, and believe that I could." says Jay Clouse, Founder of Creator Science.
 
  Strive for the perfect is impossible and exhausting because it is constantly rethinking everything you do. In the end, it blocks you from being your true self when you are on camera.
 
  "Because every time you attempt to strive for perfect you have to ask"What is the definition of perfection? What is perfect?' "And most likely, you is look at your work in comparison to someone else's work that has been working on it for much longer than you have. Therefore, you try to create this a derivative and memetic rendition of what this different person was doing. "[Butyou're incapable of being able to do it as properly." What's the cause? "Because they're more likely to possess more knowledge in addition to the fact that they're creating the videos themselves."

What are you able to do instead: Look for your own style

It's easier said than executed. Yet, Jay suggests being a slightly loose with your camera in order to showcase your individuality. "[This implies that you won't look like you're uninvolved. In addition, you're not trying to emulate the style of someone else."
 
  It's all it takes to get an idea that you don't need to copy anyone else. Instead "Make the video you want to make, just as you'd create the video," Jay points out. Remember that finding your personal style takes patience. Therefore, Jay Acunzo's suggestion of creating a variety of videos as frequently as you can in order for the greatest camera's appearance is useful in this regard as well.
