    There are 3 stages creating videos. These are the pre-production phase, the production phase, and the post-production phase.

    Let’s start with the Pre-production phase.

    This is the most important phase of the 3 phases. Without this phase, the whole video content process is a mess. Everything will be unorganized and it’ll take longer to create your videos. We all know that time equals money.

    Pre-production can be a big process when it comes to creating big productions, but we’re only talking about creating short videos for YouTube or your other social media channels.

    Are you a service based business that can’t think of video content ideas for your YouTube channel? Learn 3 simple ways you can brainstorm video content ideas.

    The hardest part of creating a video is actually thinking of what to create. I think it’s even harder if you’re a service based business.

    I mean if I were creating videos for my own vanity, I would definitely create lifestyle videos, but my lifestyle is too lazy and stagnant for that.

    AND, if I had a product based business, I would create videos that showcased my products and how awesome they are.

    So if I’m a service based business, which I am *wink*, what kind of video content should I create?

    Well, there are actually 3 different ways to create your content.

    Here’s the backend of the website. If you didn’t know, I use WordPress and I design WordPress websites.

    This is what Gutenberg looks like. Basically, you’re creating content using blocks. Each block is used to represent a header, paragraph, image, and so on.

    Honest thought alert!

    My honest thoughts are I hate Gutenberg and prefer the original basic word document. It was easier for me to add my own code and less time-consuming.

    Now, you might be wondering why I don’t switch back to the original layout, and that’s because of 2 things: laziness and trying to keep an open mind.
