The 5 Main Ways Video Gets Used

Personal branding, podcast promotion, education, advertising & marketing, and revenue generation.

Personal Branding

The core of the business — building around a name and a person. Podcasting/audio and video remain the two most intimate, effective ways to promote a personal brand.

Currently making: Instagram Stories, Facebook & Instagram Live, and daily quick tips on YouTube.

Mobile tools used: DJI Osmo, Manfrotto Pixi Tripod, MeFoto Sidekick 360, Rode VideoMicro, Manfrotto Lumimuse LED light.

Moving forward: more documentary and vlogging-style content.

Podcast Promotion

Currently making: a weekly teaser video built in Adobe After Effects for each episode, shared across the website, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Medium. Side tip: always link back to the actual episode.

Moving forward: break each episode into bite-sized clips instead of one single teaser, to generate more interest per episode.

Education

Tutorial videos that go deeper than the daily quick tips.

Currently making: daily quick tips, plus product demos and tutorials.

Moving forward: more gear and product demos aimed specifically at podcasters and content creators.

Advertising & Marketing

Direct marketing through video ads.

Currently making: boosted Facebook and Instagram ads and promos, aimed at reaching a larger audience.

Moving forward: more promo videos advertising the podcast, website, and channels to build broader buzz.

Revenue Generation

Currently making: a couple of animated tool videos for local businesses, plus promo videos for t-shirt designs.

Moving forward: more products aimed at podcasters and creators, each promoted with its own branded video.
