Videos don’t just record themselves. But wouldn’t that be nice?
From coming up with the concept, all the way through to using the finished video to grow your business, there are steps. These steps can be built into a process or Standard Operating Procedure.
Wait, you’re saying I need to have a process and a plan? Yes, my planner friends. This should be right up your alley!
Your SOP doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the most simplified steps are the easiest to follow. Any good SOP includes defined dates. And you definitely need to assign the tasks in your SOP, or they’ll never get done.
Here’s how to get started (play the video above):
When you have an SOP, your videos are more likely to work for you and less likely to sit around collecting cyber dust. Is that a thing?
Sadly, you’re not going to wake up one morning and have your SOP built. But Laura Webb and Faith Doyle of Webb Investment Services have done a lot of the hard work, so just borrow this version and make it your own:
