Description
Here's what people say about this practical and enjoyable course:
“These guys definitely know what they are talking about. A lot of people think that high-end cameras will do all the work for you, and yes they can make the job easier, but if you don't do your part nothing will work. This is very detail oriented about how to use everyday objects to get good production videos and you will definitely get something out of this course. Even for the seasoned video maker, there are some good tips and tricks. Highly recommended”

Great videos boost sales
Smart companies realize that great video boosts sales. And you can make your own professional videos for next to nothing by following our simple video production and editing techniques.
If you’re a business owner, a freelancer or a startup…
a skilled artisan or an ambitious manager…
if you work in education, a sports club or a non-profit...
...you can reach your target audiences easily by creating videos.
By learning simple video production techniques, you'll be able to make unlimited videos quickly and easily, you’ll attract new customers and educate them in how to use your products or services - before they even buy. And you’ll build loyalty among your existing customers, encourage repeat purchases and teach people to get even more value from what you offer.
We’re not talking about slick, expensive ‘corporate’ videos that no-one watches... nor long, dull, unsteady videos that look awful and are more than likely to drive customers away rather than win them over.
We’ll show you how to make honest, quality video that feature you, your staff or your customers at their very best - video production that shows the human side of your operation.
And we’ll show you how to use video production to educate your customers - because educated customers are everyone’s best customers. They’re frequent users, they tell their family and friends how great you are and, above all, they’re loyal. Heck, they’ll even share your videos and do your marketing for you.
This video production course shows you how to create such videos, how to edit them, how to publish them and how to promote them - without having to spend a fortune on technology.
And yes, this course will help even if you’ve never made videos before, or if you don’t own expensive video equipment. The truth is that most people already have the technology to make great videos, sitting unused on their smartphones, tablets or desktops.
But there’s one big problem!
If your videos are not engaging, entertaining and informative, your audience will quickly turn away. That means the knowledge you have will never reach them ...never enrich their lives ...and never give you the warm glow of satisfaction in passing your skills along to others.
And that’s where this course comes in
We’ll show video production and editing skills you can use with minimum expenditure and little need for technical knowledge or complicated equipment.
This is not a course about video production technology... or the latest video cameras ...or the expensive accessories that will give you the cleverest effects.
In this course, we believe it’s not about buying more technology, but about learning what to do with the technology you already have. Yes, that’s right! You probably have all the technology you need right there on your smartphone or tablet.

Why you need next to nothing to start. That’s because today’s electronic devices are jam-packed with video production technology and features - most of it underused or completely ignored. We’ll show you how to get super results with the equipment that you already own.
How to make videos your audience wants to see. We’ll show you how to easily find the questions your audiences are already asking online - and how you can turn that into an endless source of relevant video topics so you’ll never be short of new ideas.
