7 Basic Steps To Start Making Videos:

 

The best practical advice to give to a total beginner to shoot  a video is to just do it using your smart phone.  And be sure to hold your phone horizontally and not vertically. 

[1] Devices needed:

In the beginning, there is no need to buy special high quality cameras or microphones.   What you will need you probably already use daily.

Camera: Your Basic iPhone, Galaxy or Blackberry
Microphone: iPhone Ear phone 
Tripod: Selfy with Expandable Clip & tripod. (optional) 

Adequate Lighting

[2] Your Video does not have to look like  professionally done:

However, maintain quality and value on what you are conveying.
Decide what type of  life style and professionalism you want to convey.
Formal, informal, dress casual or just everyday clothes?
It is OK to make mistakes or stumble a little.

Make-up? hair style?
You do not have to look like a super model, an actor or some professionally done commercial.

You can speak in an every day conversational style.
Know the topic of your conversation and have a general outline or bullet point of what you want to say.

 [3] Be Authentic:

Speak from your heart.

Share your vision and who you are.

Talk about your experience and your team members’.

Don’t talk about  things you do not know or haven’t experienced.

It is fine to share about the things you are learning.

“Learn, Do and Teach.” is an excellent model to follow.

Don’t lie.

Don’t talk about your laundry list of negativity, complaints and defeats.

Only when you have transformed your difficulties and challenges, then share how you overcame these situations.

Introduction: You name and a brief statement of what you do. 

State and identify your viewer’s problem.

State that you have a solution for his problem. And briefly outline your solution.

Include Call to Action you want your viewer to take.
