Let’s get started!
What do you want to sell or say?
Think about why you are making this video in the first place. Are you sharing your story? Wanting to communicate your values? Providing an overview of the products or services you offer? Or maybe you want to create a series of videos showcasing individual offerings?
Whatever the case, think through the video’s purpose. That’s where you really need to start.
Decide on a call to action now, not later.
Calls to action are many times decided after a lot of the framework has been put together, but we recommend starting here. Why? Beyond the actual purpose of the video, the call to action is the next most important step. This is where the rubber meets the road and hopefully, gets you the lead or the sale that you’re looking for.
Determining the call to action now will create greater continuity between your message and actual actions taken after the video has been viewed.
Think about your audience!
Next, consider your demographic…who you’re actually talking to. You know who buys your products or services. Make sure you’re appealing to that specific group both in the concept for your video and in your message.
Determine the length of your video.
This is an important step that many don’t consider ahead of
Make a bullet point list of your main points.
You’ve now considered the video’s purpose, what you want to say, and who you want to say it to. It’s time to start jotting down bullet points of the most important information to be communicated in the video, so a copywriter can be sure to include the most important pieces of information.
