One of the best ways to put your content out there and engage more people is by using videos.
In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Pete talks to Cody about social media marketing and video content strategies. Cody was able to gain thousands of followers on various platforms and was named YouTube Creator On The Rise in 2018. According to Cody, the most important thing in content creation is you find a story/idea interesting enough for you and them. After this, you’re all set to go. You can now continue in the video production phase.
There are so many things they talk about today—from the evolution of filmmaking in social media, to brain health, to not having 100% perfect content—so tune in!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
“If there’s something you need to do, quit thinking about it and do it.” – Grant Cardone
The way people consume media has changed a lot. For example, videos have now evolved because of the platforms available. Tiktok, a video-sharing app, has now been downloaded million times on Google Play Store and Apple iOS. People are getting more creative and resourceful to fit it all within the one-minute mark of Tiktok so they get more views.
What should be your video content strategy? More than the skill of video editing and what not, storytelling should be the priority. It is what drives your sales. People click your content (i.e. video) and engage more because of the idea you offer. When you have the story laid out, then it’s time to get your hands on the video production.
Cody sees he is at his best self when creating. Your ideas need to keep fresh, so do everything to boost your brain power. Proper sleep and good nutrition are always the way to go if you want to keep the neurons working. Mindfulness meditation can also help stimulate creativity too.
Get it done first before making it 100% perfect. There will be so much time and energy—and even opportunities—wasted if you wait for an Obra maestro to appear in a day. Take it step-by-step; meet your deadlines first, keep putting out video content.
BEST MOMENTS
“I am not a 100% type of person into somebody else’s system; I am a type of person who creates systems and implements my own systems.”
“Sales and creativity (or creation) are so in mesh with each other.”
“Embrace your weirdness. Embrace what makes you ‘you’ and don’t shy away from that.”
