MenuHow much do you charge to do a topic on video.
I'd like to have you talk about my service that can make anyone money.
Answers
It depends on where you plan to market the video and the value that you intend to make back from the video itself.
If you have the script ready you can then look at the length of the video to price the job per number of videos multiplied by the total time to record all the videos.
A good actor can cost as little as $100 per hour, but that can go up depending on their competency and experience.
That's an excellent question, and it's great to see you're interested in promoting your service. There are a few different options for creating a video, each with its own potential costs.
1. Do It Yourself: This is the least expensive option, where you can use your own equipment (like a smartphone) and free or low-cost editing software. This is best if you're budget-conscious and willing to learn.
2. Freelance Video Producers: Depending on their experience, freelancers could charge anywhere from $25 to $100+ per hour. They can handle the shooting, editing, and sometimes even scriptwriting. Websites like Upwork or Fiverr can help you find someone within your budget.
3. Video Production Company: These are the most expensive option, usually starting at a few thousand dollars for a short video, but they handle everything from scriptwriting to shooting to post-production. This is the best option for a highly professional look and feel.
Regarding the promotion of your service through the video, it might be beneficial to consider hiring a scriptwriter or marketing consultant to help you craft a compelling message. They can help you highlight how your service can make money for others and target the right audience.
TLDR: the most important thing about your video is the story it tells. No matter how much you spend on production, your video's effectiveness will come down to the clarity and appeal of its message.

How can I produce successful YouTube videos?
Depends on your personality a good bit. 1) Work. You can just work hard. Speak at Meetup Groups, WordCamp (or similar), Trade Shows, Niche Conferences. Speak to many people who are interested in your topic + plug your YouTube channel during your talks. Or better plug your Website with an optin device + publish content on YouTube + many other venues. 2) Create controversy. This is niche independent. This works whether you're a militant Vegan, Trump supporter, Liberal troublemaker. 3) Run paid traffic directly to video. This depends on traffic source + their content guidelines, which seem to change daily. Likely you'll have to embed your video on your site, wrapped in content + run traffic to your site page. Likely many people will click to play your video on YouTube. 4) Most importantly, give people a good reason to subscribe + tell them to subscribe + what benefit they'll receive by subscribing.DF

Youtube, Vimeo or Wistia , which one is a better option for Launch Page?
I highly recommend YouTube. You can configure the embed video to hide the YouTube watermark, autoplay, hide the controls, and hide all related videos (that show up after the video is done playing). This will make your video look amazing on your launch page. Here is a link on how to configure the YouTube embed code parameters - https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters If you do your keyword research and optimize the Title, Description, and Tags when uploading to YouTube you can take advantage of more search traffic from Google and YouTube.HM

I met these guys at the INBOUND14 confrence in Boston last year. Their pricing was way better than many things I was quoted before and they really do draw all thins by hand. They had a guy sketching people while there. They should be able to take you from start to finish within the scope of the project. http://thedrawshop.com/NP

Does a high quality explainer video generate higher customer conversions than a low quality explainer video?
If your talking about the pixel quality it depends on your brand. The content of the video is far more important. You should take into account on a broader level whether an explain-er video will increase conversions verse a text based explanation due to trade offs. Video: Visual elements help with user experience and also increase transparency with brand. The con is that search engines can't read video's and only the video description will be recognizable. (A work around is having a transcript of the video which may take away from the user experience). Also video's decrease your websites page speed. Text: This will allow people and search engines to read your content. May decrease visitors engagement and increase bounce rate. Solution: I have been in a position where we did an A/B text on having a video verse image to explain the concept. Turns out both performed nearly identical. We choose the image because videos hurt page speed. Page speed is a part of Google's algorithm for search engine results. Consider creating a landing page with bullet points around customers pain points (not your product/service benefits) with a CTA that takes them to your video or offer. With an explain-er video I'm guessing your offering an unique product or service.KP

What are some good solutions to driving up YouTube views on my recent TEDx video?
I like to approach these things with big wins. One, ask yourself who your message would help? Who would find this really valuable? It may not be people you'd typically think. Look outside of your industry. Find where those people hangout online. Where are they on Facebook? What are they reading? etc. Then brainstorm ways that you can show up on those channels. For example: let's say your peeps love Forbes. Have you pitched Forbes yet? Or let's say that mommy bloggers would go crazy for your idea (so you think). You hit up some of them via email and tell them you'd love to share this free content. You'd think it'd be valuable. Content creators are always in the biz of finding more great content. So, when you can provide it and it makes sense (your job is to show why it makes sense) then people are happy to promote. The scariest part about this is pitching it because it can feel vain. The key is thinking about those you're helping, removing yourself from the equation and releasing the outcome. Then see what happens :) Happy to discuss in detail how you can find potential partners to promote your work, formulate the pitch and even create some email templates for you to send out on a call. Shoot me a message if you want to set up a call.LB
