What to Say in Your Videos

I decided to commit the month of May to getting really good on video by giving myself a personal challenge to do a video a day for 30 days.

As promised, here’s my first video. No lights. No script. No second takes. 5 minutes and I was done.

The focus of this video is how to approach the 30 Day Video Challenge and what to say when you hit record.

Love it? Hate it? Let me know...

    You motivated me more than I’m ready for… and that’s perfect! Today was my second video ever and I’m excited for the opportunity to get comfy in front of the camera. I definitely have lots of room for improvement. Thanks for the challenge!

    Love your approach and natural confidence on videos Marisa!

    Don’t you just love DLSR cameras! We had some fun with a Canon 7d when we shot our initial video for Manifest Income: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRdBo3Cx3KE

    I think setting commitments is a great way to get started in this industry, and getting yourself in front of the audience that has a pain in the marketplace is the best approach for quick conversions.

    We’ve been having a lot of success using forum marketing, my partner Matt wrote about it on http://www.firepolemarketing.com/2013/05/03/forums-firestarter/ , would love your 2 cents on how this can be used with your video approach.
