Key Takeaways:

“Get it away from you. As long as you get it off yourself and onto whoever you’re trying to help, that’s when the videos get a lot better.” – Bruce Outridge

“Whatever it takes to describe whatever you’re trying to describe is how long it

should be. I don’t care if it’s 10 or two, or five or whatever. If it takes you 10 minutes to get that point across whatever it might be, then do 10 minutes if it takes two minutes, do two minutes.”

“If you have a decent phone, that will do a lot. As far as the video, it will do a lot. It’s not so much the equipment, a lot of people get caught up in this, you need to have good audio.”

“If you’re a real estate agent, where the hottest house comes up whenever, you might just want to post whenever. And that might be that’s its own tactic of making people subscribe to you so they can get the latest thing.”

“You’ve got to be careful with transcription. If it was technical, where someone has to follow steps or something like that, then yes, I would probably take that extra step. But I personally don’t for general topics.”

“I think the title is probably more important than the thumbnail, but the thumbnail needs to attract them.”

“Do that live now and get people excited. Use something wherever the audience hangs out the most, if you’re on Facebook, let people know that at 12 o’clock, I’m going to be showcasing this greatest buy, you’ll only see it once, and go and do a walkthrough of the highlights of that. And then say contact me if you want any more lives.”

“Video is powerful, because people can actually see what’s going on. And it’s best for SEO, because if you’re using YouTube, it’s owned by Google. It’s a way of really engaging people.”

“The way you want people to perceive you is the way that you have to be in the video.”
