Hi,

We are going to start collecting video testimonials from customers. We have many great customers we can approach, which is excellent.

Curious - is there an interview template with questions available through Impact Plus?

Cheers

We are employing a new videographer. Our last one was awesome and had all his own equipment. The new guy doesn't really have much because he is newly qualified. So we are looking to buy in the right kind of kit to get some awesome TAYA videos made See More

We used to have a subscription to Vidyard but no longer have one. We are looking for a 1:1 video tool that we can use to create video easily on a desktop and include in an email. Will the free version in Vidyard allow us to do this? Is there another tool that others use to create 1:1 videos easily that does not require a $3000 per year subscription? See More

Hi! Just starting out with video doing case studies of financial advisors who use our start-up planning software in their offices and wondering what the minimum you all think I need is in terms of equipment. I like the idea of two cameras for different views, but also want to be cost conscious as we are just experimenting so far.

I've only ever used point-and-shoot digital cameras and phones in my personal video experience, but of course want this to be high enough quality to not look too amateur.

Also I'm not sure where to start with sound equipment, but I know it's important. See More

I always use just the basic markers for myself but I didn't know you could drag them open to see the notes on the timeline! Cool little trick for sure. See More

Video & SEO can be confusing. I found this breakdown really helpful for simplifying best practices.

Some of my takeaways were:

Make sure videos have dedicated pages User actions should be simple, not complicated to make it easier for Google to find your videos Simple, but necessary, make sure your videos have "public" access

And, if you're using Vidyard, make sure to connect it to Google Analytics to learn more about viewing habits on your website.

This could be a huge SEO consideration moving forward for YouTube and video creation.

Brandon Hafeli and the Bill Ragan Roofing team are CRUSHING it with video content!

Brandon sent this recap video over to me showing the wins and trends they're seeing in the early stages of their video journey and I couldn't be more impressed.

Views are starting to build and the CTA rates really tell the story of how valuable this content is. That hockey stick growth is coming up quickly.

Way to go Bill Ragan Roofing team, keep up the amazing work! See More

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone have any thoughts on Vidyard vs Vimeo? We are just starting our video journey and would probably start on basic plans for either. We don't like the Vidyard ad in the free version either. Hoping we don't have to have it if we pay for Pro. We just need a clean way for our sales team to send out videos to prospects, know if they at least started watching a video, and have the ability to trigger a workflow in HubSpot from that event.

Thanks! See More

Hi all!

I am new to the videography world. I'm working on putting together a list of equipment we would need in the office so that we can shoot videos quickly and easily instead of trying to find a studio, hire a freelancer, etc.

We're a small business with about 10 employees total. Up to this point, we've been filming via zoom/webinar software and just repurposing that footage.

Please send me any links to specific things that would help! Type of camera, lighting, backdrops, lapel mics, etc!
We're starting from scratch basically.

Thanks!

Dear impact plus community,

I am left with a very difficult decision. With financial resources limited and resources in general highly limited. I don't know which one of these I should go with, based on the in-depth information and examples that Tom has provided. They're both great ideas and I love that.

Problems:

But I am using the Basic Calendly Package and it would cost me $12/month for the pro. To add allow me to add more content

For option 2, Create an " in-between" landing page and hire a professional videographer to do it right in how it is in the sample. See More

I am looking for an article, video, or examples of writing a "Best" type article. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. See More

This has been discussed in prior threads, however, it's so interesting that YouTube continues to grow. The biggest contributors to this growth seem to be the increased viewership on TV platforms, which is a recently add behavior that can be tracked on YouTube's channel dashboard.

Hello!

Lately I've been working on revamping some previously produced 80% videos and making them more personable to be sent by individual sales reps from my team. My biggest hurdle at the moment is the teaser and call to actions at the end.
I'm curious if anyone else in this group has some examples or guidance when it comes to making them feel genuine and personable. I look forward to seeing what everyone has come up with. See More
