Fast Start Video, 12 Tips for Setting Up Your YouTube Channel and Videos

I am one of the co-directors of the Boston Internet Marketing Meetup #BIMM and we recently did a presentation on how to make simple promotional videos using the phone in your pocket, usually a smartphone. The presentation went great and was a lot of fun. Along with the other members of the team, Lew Sabbag, Keith Spiro, and Andrew Penziner we demonstrated the production of two quick promo videos. Keith did a general intro video and I did one on my new book “Self-Publishing SECRETS, Create, Launch and Publish Your Book“. Each member talked about different aspects to about 20 participants. Lots of questions, and we had 5 people take us up on our offer to make a video.

In all our presentations we always try to have some kind of handout with the key points of the event. For this event, I put together some key video production pointers, plus a section on how to set up your YouTube Channel and your video. I would love you to have the handout, Fast Start Video Handout.

Sample Video ScriptOur second handout from the session was a sheet with a couple of sample scripts that you can use to create your promotional or book trailer video. The scripts are based on answering 4 statements.
1. Who I am.
2. This is what I have got.
3. This is what it will do for you.
4. This is what I want you to do next.
