Today I am talking to those who are thinking about creating videos but are just not getting them online. For a lot of you, there are some reasons why you are not creating videos. One of those reasons is fear, or just being afraid to do it.
Many people think that everything has to be perfect with their video. When they mess up, they want to redo the video over and over again until they get it right.
If you do that, you are making it a lot harder than it needs to be! You just need to start doing them!
Trying to Create The Perfect Video Can Derail Your Business Growth
Is This Your Experience in Creating The Perfect Video?
This morning I was watching a video blog post that a fellow network marketer posted, and it teaches a great lesson.She was one of those who is a perfectionist in regards to her videos. If something is not quite right, she will do it over and over again until it IS right.
One time her and her husband was getting ready to go somewhere, and they had 5 to 10 minutes before they actually had to leave. She thought that she could use that spare time to create a video before they left.
She started creating the video, but something wasn't quite right. It was not perfect. So she redid the video. This time there was something else that was not perfectly right. So she redid it again. And again.
Each time there was something wrong with the video, so she felt she had to redo the video. The five minute video session turned into an hour endeavor. And the final revision was STILL not perfect!
Forget About Creating the Perfect Video!
You really have to forget about being a perfectionist when you are creating a video. It is best just to begin the recording and just start talking!If you wait until it is perfect, you are never going to get the video done.
In addition, there is an advantage to not having a perfect video. When people see you stumbling over words or doing goofy things on the video, they realize that they themselves don't have to be experts in order to create a video. They think, "Maybe even I could do that!"
Don't try to make it perfect. It doesn't matter if your hair is not perfectly styled or your lighting isn't good. You can be as goofy as you want on your videos, and people are going to think that you are authentic. You are just being who you are. People tend to trust those who they feel are being themselves.
So forget about having perfect videos. Just do them!
Just Create the Video By Being You!
One of the advantages of using Facebook Live is that you don't have any do-overs. Just push the record button and you're on! Then do whatever it is that you do. There is no rehearsal, it is quick and done.People see you for who you really are. And it is okay to be nervous. It is okay to not be fluent and smooth in your video presentations.
The people that you are trying to reach are not really looking for smoothness and perfect videos. They are looking for ideas and content that will help them in their network marketing business.
And one of the things that will help your business the most is to get over your fear of doing videos. Just do them! Just do them.
Some people might think that you are pretty goofy and awkward in your videos, but others are going to think "I like this guy, he is just like me." Or "I like him, he is really down to earth and real!" You will gain the faith and trust of those people and they will listen to you when they would just skip over watching some smooth and polished presenter.
