Are you ready to invest in creating YouTube videos? Is it worth it? I totally understand, I was on the fence too before I started creating videos. I mean, running your own business is already time-consuming, adding YouTube videos just seems like a hassle.
If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking of a lot of cons to creating YouTube videos. Like it’s too much work, it’s expensive, it’s not for you, and so on. If you want to know whether investing in YouTube videos will be worth it, here’s how to find out. Just answer these 5 questions to know if it’s worth it or not.
Okay, you know you want to create videos for your brand, but how do you get started? Most people focus on the technical aspect of filming videos. For example, planning, creating a script, what kind of equipment to use, how to edit videos, and so on.
But, will that help you create a great video that showcases your brand? No. Will knowing all these things help you know what to talk about or how to portray your brand on camera? No. Knowing the production aspect of filming is great. It’s one less thing to think about during the filming process, but you still have to think about your image. That’s why I’m going to talk about branding on YouTube and how to create videos for your brand even though you’re shy on camera.
Today I’m going to talk about using a teleprompter for your YouTube videos. When I first started my videos, I thought it would be so much easier if I could use a teleprompter, so I added Little Prompter to my Amazon wishlist because it could be used for webcams, phones, and an actual camera. After sitting in my Amazon wishlist for almost a year, who knew that my sister would actually get me one for Christmas?!
TELEPROMPTER FOR YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS? (Little Prompter review)
Little Prompter set-up
Setting up Little Prompter was actually easy once I realized how to follow the instructions to set it up. The instructions are straightforward and it doesn’t really take a lot to install it. To use this teleprompter, you’ll need a tripod. It ONLY comes with a teleprompter. I film all my YouTube videos on a webcam so I specifically set up the teleprompter for my webcam.
How to use Little Prompter
The first thing, of course, is you need a script. Before you use a teleprompter for your YouTube videos, write out your script first, then you need a teleprompter app for your phone. I have a Samsung phone so the app that I used is Simple Teleprompter. This, of course, is an Android app. I don’t know if it’s also an iPhone app.
If you’re just getting started creating videos, then the first type of videos you should create is *drum roll please* ‘HOW TO” videos. Here are 3 free options to record your computer screen for your service-based business to get you started on creating tutorials.
There are many reasons you might want to record your computer screen. You might want to train an employee or contractor how to do something, you might want to show your clients how to do something, or you might want to show your audience how to do something.
Basically, you’re creating a tutorial on how to do something.
Hello, and welcome back to my channel. Paigon here, and in this video I’m going to give you 3 free options to record your computer screen.
3 free options to record your computer screen for your service-based business
The first options is for Mac users. It’s also the option I use the most, and that’s Quicktime. Quicktime comes already installed on your iMac and MacBook, which I have both.
I don’t know if it comes with iPhone because I went rogue and bought a Samsung instead. Sorry iPhone fans, but I’m team Samsung on this.
Let me know in the comments if you know if Quicktime is also preinstalled on iPhones.
If you’re not a Mac user, then these next 2 options are for you.
The first is Zoom. I use it for discovery calls, calls with my clients, and coffee chats. I’ve also attended a lot of meetings on Zoom. But did you know you can share your screen on it?
Yes, so if you already use zoom for client meetings, then you should definitely try it for recording your computer screen.
The 3rd option is the best if you don’t want to download an app to your computer. It’s totally on the internet. In fact, you have to have a Google account because it’s a Chrome extension.
This one is called Loom. You can sign up using your Google account or your Slack account.
I know a lot of business owners use Loom to record tutorials for their employees. I’ve used it to send a quick video to my client on how to do things on YouTube.
The other great thing about Loom is you edit your video after you record it, so it’s super convenient.
Those were your 3 free options to record your computer screen. Let me know in the comments below if you’ve used any of these tools and which one is your favorite. If you like this video then hit subscribe to get my latest videos.
