Are you avoiding video? Afraid you’re not interesting enough or don’t have enough content to produce? Does it look too hard or are you worrying about production quality? Find out how to build your digital communication with a video presence. It’s more accessible and approachable than you think! In this episode, we’ll cover: Understanding the importance of vlogging. Finding a style that works for you and/or your client. How to avoid getting discouraged. How to turn viewers into subscribers. Today I’m chatting with Amy Schmittauer, a media triple threat as a successful YouTuber, with her channel Savvy Sexy Social, best selling author of Vlog Like A Boss and keynote speaker. If anyone understands the power and importance of video in digital communication it’s Amy. She's looked to as the authority in the how-to vlogging space and actually one of the influencers of my vlog, SwenkToday. Understanding the Importance of Vlogging Digital communications is becoming a big need for businesses, both large and small. This need started with social media but is now moving towards video. It is difficult to survive online communications or digital marketing without some form of video. Understanding the way people are consuming content is going to decide your digital communication. People are trying to find the better, faster way of what they want… video accommodates that need. Video and vlogs are growing because they make the host seem approachable. The platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram Stories, Snapchat, etc. are growing and video is becoming more accessible. Because of this, it’s time to step outside your box and start asking, “How can we, as an agency, better consider what our customer wants when it comes to video?” Sit down and have a conversation with clients because using the visual of video is going to make a much deeper connection. This will help your agency make more money and serve your clients better, because this is a necessity in business today. Finding a Style That Works for You People can get caught up in feeling uninteresting, but that is the beauty of video… you can make ANYTHING look and sound interesting with video, IF you think about what it’s like for the end user! So when you think about your video style you need to ask yourself these 3 questions: 1. What is the Brand of You? How do you want people to be talking about you? Get creative. Stay consistent so your audience can get to know you and care about you. 2. Who are You Talking To? Know your audience. Know what your audience wants. This will make you more interesting and keep them watching! 3. What is Your Audience Size and Loyalty Level? If you are new to vlogging and have little or no audience, you have a lot of work to do to earn trust and interest. This will help you build a solid base audience, which can allow you to take things to another level and take some liberties with your content. If you are more concerned with the number of views than the quality of viewer… you’re in trouble. How to Build a Solid Video Presence Don’t get discouraged! I get it, entrepreneurs are impatient (myself included!). Remember: It’s not about the number of views or number of people you reach, because it just takes one person -- the perfect customer. Don’t lose focus on who that person is. It’s tough, vanity metrics on Facebook can make it hard to choose a platform. Facebook feels like your content is getting more views, but in reality, the context of that view is not as valuable as on, say, YouTube. Facebook pushes content into a newsfeed, can come without audio, and is logged as a view if it's watched for 3 seconds or more. So of course, views can look higher on Facebook. YouTube viewers are more intentional. They come looking for the content you are providing and a view isn’t ticked off until 30 seconds is viewed. Every platform has a different algorithm to make more money and keep people happy. But remember, you are working with the same algorithm as top YouTubers. If you get that one person, that perfect customer to watch you and can build a connection through advising them on something that will help them in a positive way… that’s all that matters. Keep ‘Em Coming Back The BEST thing to do to get people to come back is: Ask them. DO ask for them to subscribe - the ask makes them more likely to do it. DON'T assume if they watch your video they will subscribe. DON'T assume if you put a visual, without actually calling it out, they’ll subscribe. Technology is always trying to get better for the viewer and also the vlogger, but sometimes they conflict. You have to be explicit. Lead off with it, but make it short. You don’t want to spend too much time or you will lose them. You want to keep your viewer until the end. If you get them to watch your video all the way to the end, you are considered their thought leader. So tell them what to do next, whatever the natural next step might be (i.e. subscribe, opt-in with email, or visit your site). Say it. You have to say it. Use visuals and create features that make for a nice user experience. This also encourages more action. Related: Want to get better at producing video?

Stop COLLABORATE and LISTEN! On this episode we welcome a new sponsor IOGRAPHER who make the iPhone case that I leverage for all of my live streaming video.   Giving away an iOgrapher case and 1 Vlog Like A Boss book by Amy Schmittauer  Tweet out: "I'm listening to #FOMOFanz podcast and want to win an @Iographer case & Vlog Like A Boss book"  I believe in the power of collaboration and often give a keynote called "We > Me" so on this episode I broke down the 10 keys to driving collaboration success!   Don’t throw technology at a people problem Sharing of knowledge requires a mindset shift, don’t force this change TEACH it! Celebrate collaboration success stories demonstrating productivity and value gained compared to doing it the old way. Create procedures and policies that allow digital dinosaurs and digital natives to meet in the middle. Incentivize managers to redefine workflow and key performance indicators to include collaboration tasks and goals. Create a culture of collaboration by including collaboration practices in everyday tasks such as meetings, group messaging, conference calls, document sharing and company wide announcements. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) adoption of collaboration tools must focus on simplification of basic tasks as the mindset shift is massive therefore the technology must increase productivity not add steps or time. Establish an emotional intelligence baseline as with increased transparency and trust comes more exposure of mistakes therefore everyone on the team must understand the proper way to encourage continued collaboration after mistakes are exposed. Define collaboration long term goals but include short term wins that allow for group validation to motivate and inspire the team both inward and outward. Re-evaluate tools and technology on a regular basis as today’s collaboration tools are now growing beyond a singular SaaS based solution to include artificial intelligence, hardware integration. Collaboration is nothing new and most organizations today understand the importance of teamwork and departments and business partners working together to reach mutual goals.  More and more often the adoption of collaboration tools and strategies is driven by the fact that millennials now make up over 50% of the current workforce and are traditionally the biggest champions of collaborative work environments.  Although collaboration is seen as an essential element within today’s business culture many companies still lack the key components to drive change.

Resources Mentioned in this Episode Today's expert is Amy from SavvySexySocial.com Amy on Youtube Amy's Podcast iRig Mic Rhode Lapel Mic Let's dive into this week's question! JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to a Q&A with S&J. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to the Expert edition of the Q&A with S&J and today we are bringing back one of our favorite guests to talk about video and how it can improve your brand. It is Amy Schmittauer; Amy, welcome back to the Q&A with S&J. AMY: Shane and Jocelyn are my favorite people in the world, thanks for having me. SHANE: Love it. JOCELYN: Yeah, we are like super pumped when we talked to Amy a little bit ago that she is in the Eastern Time zone. There are very few people in the Eastern Time Zone. SHANE: This is the only podcast we get to record in the Eastern Time zone is when we get to talk to Amy. AMY: It's so funny because most people don't even believe me when I say I'm in the Eastern Time zone – SHANE: I know. AMY: – they're like, “You're in Ohio, so what does that mean?” SHANE: “Do you even have internet?” AMY: “Is that central time?” I'm like, “Yeah, exactly. I'm on Eastern Time, it's all good.” SHANE: I always say, we have to like plus or minus four from everything we do because of all the people in California. AMY: Oh no. JOCELYN: East Coast represent – SHANE: East Coast is in the house today. JOCELYN: Let's jump into today's question. It's from Cathy, a Flip Your Life member, and she says, “I cannot afford expensive equipment to make videos; what should I do?” SHANE: If we get any video questions, it's this one because you know, when people start out affordability on everything, you got to get hosting and domains and blah-blah-blah and you got to spend some money to get started. But then we're like “Okay, how are you going to use video?” And they're like, “I can't afford a camera.” That's impossible. So what do you say to people when they come to you and they are like “I don't have anything to record with; what do I do?” AMY: Well, it's a bunch of crap, is what it is because you do have something to record with – Cathy, no disrespect. So, most of us have a smartphone and there's no reason to think that if you are going to get serious about video content that you can't use what you already have. I mean, it's actually sort of mind-blowing when you think about the abilities of the cameras that are built into smartphones. This is why the flip camera got discontinued and there are so many other hand-held video cameras nobody is buying because you just have it in something you carry around anyway. So, other than maybe a memory issue, there's no reason for you to say like “I can't use my phone” and there's so many accessories out there to enhance even that product alone if you are worried about internal audio being an issue ‘cause you like to do stuff outside a lot. There's a way of getting a microphone that can just plug into your phone and then you automatically have an upgrade there. So, often times when people are trying to sort of drag their feet on video, they are always talking about equipment and it's just very hard to wrap your mind on what are all the things we need: lighting, sound, quality everything; but if you just start with what you have at that point in time, you are going to prove to yourself that you need better...

Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys?

Jocelyn and I are always upfront and say we do not have all the answers but, we do know where to go find them. Today's question is about video and there is nobody else on the planet that I would rather ask a video question to than our guest today; it is Amy Schmittauer. Amy, welcome to the show. AMY: Well hello, what a kind, kind thing to say Shane. SHANE: We have a lot of love for Amy Schmittauer; I'm just saying. AMY: What a stroke for the ego SHANE: That's right, exactly. Bring the value now, bring the value to us. JOCELYN: And some people, you know, we give them the questions ahead of time but not Amy. SHANE: Not Amy – JOCELYN: She's such a pro – SHANE: She's so good, we said, you know what, we're just gonna drop the bomb on her. AMY: And if people send me questions in advance, I'm like, oh, I feel like I'm studying for a test. SHANE: I know. AMY: I can't do it. Just on the fly, I'll have the answers. SHANE: That's right, organic. Everything is organic right here. AMY: Totally. SHANE: Really we just have no time to prep but that's beside the point. All right Jocelyn, let's go with today's question. JOCELYN: All right, today's question is from Brad, one of our Flip Your Life members, and Brad says, “How long should my videos be? All the videos I watch on YouTube seem to be long, but a lot of experts say you should keep it short. Which one is it and what works best?” SHANE: This is very confusing because – it is true, when I read this question, I was like you know, that's true; seems like I'm always trying to learn something that's like 20-minute videos. But then I always hear, “Three to five minutes, get it out there and get it quick” kinda deal. So what do you think about that? AMY: Well it's funny – Brad, really, really good question because that's absolutely right. We are constantly kind of fielding the search results to find the video that's going to be best for us in that moment and no one is saying, “Man, I really hope I find a solid 25-minute video on this.” SHANE: That's right. AMY: No one is doing that. Now, it depends on the situation, it depends on the content; I mean, if it's an intense tutorial, then maybe you do need every minute of that. But I tend to tell people, you know, if you're creating informational content on YouTube, you really want to be between two and five minutes. If you think about the fact that you can inject so much copy into your headline, your description, your tags and you can rank really well for something; but if you end up on the results page with a video that's seven minutes and yours is twenty, and you're supposed to be accomplishing the same thing in that amount of time, you're just not gonna be the option that people choose. So it's really sort of a human SEO factor that I like to talk about is you can tell YouTube how to rank you, but according to the human that sees you when sea...

Amy Schmittauer of Savvy Sexy Social talks about how to launch a vlog that rocks and run a YouTube channel that provides value and gets subscribers.

#012 - She started making personal videos and uploading them on YouTube 5 years ago just for her family, but she quickly fell in love it. Amy Schmittauer has consistently been video blogging (or vlogging) for half a decade. In that time she's piled up 1.5 million views on YouTube and learned a ton about how video can work for your business. In this episode I chat with Amy about how she is able to produce three or more videos every week, which YouTubers she looks up to, what gear she recommends for the vlogging style of videos, and what keeps her from hitting record.Items mentioned in this episode:schmittastic - YouTubeSavvy Sexy Social - YouTubeHVlog Boss StudiosPhilip DeFranco - YouTubeiJustine - YouTubeTurning Pro by Steven PressfieldTop 5 Beginner Tips for Vlogging with a DSLR CameraPewDiePie - YouTubeJennaMarbles - YouTubeNovember 21, 2014
