Kasim:

Hi everyone.

2

:

It's Regina from starter PPC.

3

:

Today.

4

:

I want to talk to you about videos.

5

:

Okay.

6

:

Videos are gold.

7

:

And when you are a small business,

you're just starting out.

8

:

Unfortunately.

9

:

The amount of videos that most

small businesses have is zero.

10

:

and oftentimes when they do get

videos that we can use they're

11

:

not made in an ideal way.

12

:

So I thought I would put together a

quick video that talks through Some of

13

:

the common questions that come up with

clients when they're considering making a

14

:

video or when we ask them to please make

us some videos that we can run ads with.

15

:

And I'm also going to run through a quick

like a very basic one minute script that

16

:

you can swipe and use in your videos.

17

:

All right.

18

:

So first things first, we have

service based businesses, right?

19

:

Lead generation.

20

:

Businesses.

21

:

And we have e commerce businesses.

22

:

So if you're running a service

based business, you might have

23

:

several different services.

24

:

And you also might have several

different target customers, right?

25

:

And so it might be that with this

script I'm about to lay out, you

26

:

might say to yourself, okay, I have

Three services and two target markets.

27

:

So I'm gonna make six versions of

this same video because you want

28

:

to talk about each service and you

want to talk about each service

29

:

in two different ways depending

on who you're speaking to, right?

30

:

It could be the same target customer,

but they're searching with different

31

:

ways, different keywords, right?

32

:

Different pain points.

33

:

Some people might be focused on the fear.

34

:

Some people might be

focused on the solution.

35

:

you might decide, okay, there's.

36

:

A few different ways

I can talk about this.

37

:

So I'm going to make six

versions of the same video.

38

:

And that's perfectly amazing.

39

:

Okay.

40

:

If you're an e commerce company, you

have some tough decisions to make.

41

:

Oftentimes what we see with e

commerce companies is they don't

42

:

just sell one product, right?

43

:

So you can't just make a video about

that product and call it a day.

44

:

It's not that straightforward.

45

:

Most e commerce companies have.

46

:

20, a hundred, 2000 products.

47

:

And so they come to us saying, well,

what kind of video do you want?

48

:

For this, I usually say, let's

make a couple of videos as always.

49

:

First video that I want you guys

to make is the one that talks

50

:

about your business as a whole.

51

:

And unfortunately, this is the hardest

one to make because you're going to

52

:

be talking about, the pain point.

53

:

That kind of sums up all the products

in one general pain point and a solution

54

:

that kind of sums up all the products

you're talking big picture here.

55

:

You know, what is your brand do?

56

:

Who does it speak to?

57

:

What does it solve for?

58

:

The reason why I want that video

first as a marketing agency, it's

59

:

nice for us because we usually

want to run remarketing ads.

60

:

And so we have that kind of that

fallback video that can just kind of

61

:

remind people everybody who came to the

site, reminds them to come back to the

62

:

site, tells them we're still around.

63

:

And so that's just essential to have.

64

:

However, I wouldn't stop there.

65

:

I would also make about

six versions of the same.

66

:

Video template that I'm about to give you.

67

:

and so what you do after you make

that base brand video is you start

68

:

thinking about, okay, does it make

sense to do like a category of products?

69

:

Or do you want to like hone

in on like the star product?

70

:

Because the rest of the products

on your site are just upsells.

71

:

So you kind of have to think about

how you have your business laid out.

72

:

Nine times out of 10, we always suggest.

73

:

Pick a category of products that gives

you the highest profit margin on average

74

:

when those products sell and Make a

video about that category of products.

75

:

So now you're talking about a group

of products, a pain point that

76

:

applies to all of them, a solution

that applies to all of them.

77

:

So I hope that gives you a

better idea of where to begin.

78

:

Again, if you have two different target

customers buying the same product, but

79

:

they're searching for things in different

ways, it is a good idea to make again, two

80

:

versions of that same video, just speaking

to the different target customers.

81

:

So they're different pain points.

82

:

You can't have too many videos, you guys.

83

:

if you're recording videos, don't

just record one, record six record

84

:

20 if you want, but I would say start

with six and they can be identical

85

:

videos, but have different, the first

five seconds should be different.

86

:

I say that, we're about to get

into the one minute script that

87

:

you can apply to your videos.

88

:

I say that the first five seconds

should be different because nine

89

:

times out of ten, people don't

watch past the first five seconds.

90

:

Right?

91

:

Whenever you see a commercial, how many

seconds of that commercial do you watch?

92

:

You watch until the skip ads button shows

up on YouTube and then you click it.

93

:

That's five seconds.

94

:

So you have five seconds to capture

their attention and either hope that

95

:

you got the message across even if

they didn't click or hope that you

96

:

got attention enough for them to

watch beyond the first five seconds.

97

:

Usually they're not going to click on

a video ad but it will remind them to

98

:

open another tab and go back and shop.

99

:

Or to shop for that thing that

they forgot to finish buying.

100

:

Right.

101

:

Or that they're thinking about.

102

:

Okay.

103

:

Let's get into the one minute video.

104

:

that you can swipe and

apply to your videos.

105

:

So the first five seconds is the hook.

106

:

I just talked about why it's important

to fit this into five seconds.

107

:

So all you need to do in the first

five seconds is think about what is the

108

:

pain point and what is the solution?

109

:

That's the first five seconds, right?

110

:

If you have this problem, you

need my product or service.

111

:

If you are this type of person, you need,

product or service was made for you.

112

:

If you do this thing, you might find

that buying this product or service

113

:

will change everything for you.

114

:

Right?

115

:

So that's five seconds.

116

:

That's the hook.

117

:

Okay.

118

:

Moving on.

119

:

The next 20 seconds of the video

is called the impact statement.

120

:

So the first half of the impact

statement describes what the product

121

:

or service or category of products.

122

:

So product or service is insert

one sentence description here.

123

:

So I'm sure you've summed up what

the product or service is before.

124

:

That's all you have to do.

125

:

Just write one sentence

that describes what it is.

126

:

Again, this can be identical

from video to video.

127

:

If you make six of these

videos, this doesn't change.

128

:

One sentence description

part two is functionality.

129

:

How do they use it?

130

:

And what is it like to use it?

131

:

Right.

132

:

So you just got finished saying

this product or service is this now

133

:

you're saying and it does X, right?

134

:

So not necessarily what it does, but

also what it's like to use it, right?

135

:

So you're just kind of describing the

product or service a little bit more

136

:

elaborating on it this is what it does.

137

:

This is how it works.

138

:

This is what it's like to experience

it and then part three of this 22nd

139

:

impact statement is the results.

140

:

So now you're going to describe what

is their life like after they've

141

:

used the product or service, right?

142

:

So you just got finished saying

my product or service does X and

143

:

this is what it's like to use it.

144

:

Now you're saying once

you're done, you have.

145

:

What more time, more beauty

less headaches, less cost.

146

:

What is the solution and what

does their life look like?

147

:

Paint a picture if you can.

148

:

You have 20 seconds to

do these three things.

149

:

write it down, rehearse it and hit record.

150

:

The last 15 seconds I'm sorry.

151

:

There's.

152

:

There's two more sections of the video.

153

:

So the next 15 seconds is

called the how it works section.

154

:

So we've got part one where we're

restating the benefits, right?

155

:

So we're saying We're kind of reaffirming

how it's going to change their life.

156

:

And part two is the value proposition.

157

:

This is where you get to distinguish

yourself from the competitors.

158

:

So you're saying their life will be

changed in what way, how is your product

159

:

or service different from the majority

that's going to make their life that

160

:

much better than the competitor would.

161

:

And then the last 20 seconds, you have 20

whole seconds to do the call to action.

162

:

Now, this is often the hardest

part for business owners.

163

:

You have to decide, okay, do I want

them to try it out, try something

164

:

for free on the website, opt into

the email list, or do I actually want

165

:

them to head over to the site and buy?

166

:

I would say 9 times out of

10 for your first few videos.

167

:

Probably the answer is that you want

them to head over to the site and buy.

168

:

The only exception is if you're selling

a very high priced product or service.

169

:

It's probably a better idea to get them.

170

:

Into the top of the funnel, right?

171

:

So you would say schedule a

consultation, give us a call to ask

172

:

your questions sign up for the free

lead magnet that we have on the site,

173

:

that's going to get you started and

provide value to you right away.

174

:

you guys know what's best based on what's

worked for your sales funnel in the past.

175

:

make a decision on what the call

to action is and you have 20 entire

176

:

seconds to elaborate on that call

to action that gets you to one

177

:

minute and you now have a video.

178

:

Now you just have to hit record five

more times and finish all six of these

179

:

videos, which again are identical except

for the first five seconds, because in

180

:

the first five seconds, you're talking

about a slightly different pain point.

181

:

Right.

182

:

And you're talking about a

slightly different solution.

183

:

Well, I guess not all

six will be identical.

184

:

If you're talking about different

categories of products in each

185

:

video, you're going to have to

rewrite the script for each one.

186

:

The only time these scripts

would be identical is if you're

187

:

talking to two different target

customers about the same product

188

:

or service or category of products.

189

:

Okay.

190

:

That's it.

191

:

Oh, and what What I have pulled up

on my screen right now is actually

192

:

a really great example of a monday.

193

:

com commercial where

they do this exact thing.

194

:

So, what I'm going to do is I'm going

to link you guys to this monday.

195

:

com commercial in the description

below so that you can check

196

:
