Suzanne is living proof of the value of video marketing. To make video marketing easy she breaks it down into the 3 categories or types of videos we should all be making for our audience.


1. Positioning.

Just like you need great copy, you need great video. And similar guidelines apply here: put your best message forward in a high quality and professional manner.


If you arenโ€™t seeing results from your marketing itโ€™s because you are being beaten by people who are better positioned than you are. They may not be as good as you but if their positioning is better theyโ€™ll beat you every time. So get your best message out to your people in a clear, concise and professional way with video.


2. Personality.

This is where you let your freak flag fly! This type of video is the expert on-the-go type. These videos should be a mixture of iPhone, on the fly type videos as well as professional-produced videos.


In these videos you show you are warm and homey, this is where people fall in love with you.


Suzanneโ€™s tips for doing this:

1. Itโ€™s how you say it, not WHAT you say.

2. Know when to stop talking! These are great at 2 minutes and under so know when enough is enough!

3. Talk to ONE person. Just like with your copy you find a person and talk to themโ€ฆdo this in your videos to create connection with your people.


3. Promotional.

These are the videos where you sell your stuff and make money! They MUST be high quality, because high quality = more sales. These videos must also hold engagement and attention. If you’re spending money on videos from only one of these categories spend it here!


Suzanne has a few other tips for us in this episode. She says when you make the leap into video be certain you are working with a videographer who knows marketing. They have to know how to edit and make it sizzle; they need to know the world of marketing and video so do your homework before hiring someone.


And at a minimum you want to be making 1-2 videos per month, thatโ€™s the bare minimum! You want to position video marketing in your mind as a key component of your marketing tool bag, itโ€™s not just a one-off.


Suzanneโ€™s wisdom continues on todayโ€™s show – hear all of her wisdom and enthusiasm when you listen in to episode 145 of Life on Fire TV. Thanks for being here and weโ€™ll see you next time.
