With competition growing faster online, the need for websites to rank better to increase traffic has never been this demanding. According to Zero Limit Web, the first five organic results account for 67.6% of all the clicks, so it really pays to be on the top.

In this episode, Chris Schwager (Co-founder and Video Marketer of Ridge Films) is joined by James Parnwell (Founding Director of The Online Co) to discuss everything about Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): how it works, how Google algorithm behaves, how videos help your website become searchable, and what businesses can do to rank better on Google search engine.

How well do clients understand their financial plans?

Financial planners create text document on Statement of Advice to clients that costs days and thousand of dollars to produce, only for some clients to come back, scratching their heads, with a ton of questions on the document. With the onset of pandemic that forced people to do video meetings instead, the concept of Video SOA was born, and more and more professionals and customers alike are pushing this medium as part of process in sealing the deal.

In this episode, Chris Schwager (Co-founder and Video Marketer of Ridge Films) is joined by Ben Marshan (Head of Policy, Strategy, and Innovation in Financial Planning Association), to discuss how Financial Planning Association has launched Video SOA Project Box Set in order to guide members in creating Video SOAs for their clients. Ben talks about the pushback on paper-based SOA, the benefits video SOA gives to both parties, and upgrading technology in order to meet their client's needs. Chris and Ben also banter about the pain points of professionals in learning new technology and how to systemise it into their process, and why video in email helps minimise context that can get lost in translation on text.

All in all, financial services is heading into an exciting phase as they dive into the world of video for both professionals and clients.

No one is perfect. And as much as you'd like your performance to come across au naturel, presenting to the camera without making it look like you're reading off a teleprompter may take years of practice and mastery. So how do you do it?

Two saving words: Ad lib.

Welcome to 'Video Tips,' the Video Made Simple podcast segment where we offer strategies for on-camera presenting, scripting, and video marketing: all the tools you need to get started with videos.

In this episode, Chris Schwager, Video Marketer from Ridge Films, talks about ad libs and creating a hybrid of reading and ad libbing for a much more spontaneous presentation. Chris shares how to script with ad libs, and what are the do's and don'ts of ad libbing.

The DIY Video Program comes with script templates that can help you understand what content is needed for your script, and how to break it down to sections so that it's cohesive and conversational. You can read it on the go to help you focus and refine your message. Check the link below or

Two words: Video Prospecting.

Mark Hodgson: So the question is, what do I need to do to attract a customer in a way that they say yes. Even yes to giving me that first. Yes, it's probably I'll give you five seconds. And that's kind of interesting. And I think could be five seconds retention. I like it, I might give you 30 seconds. If I like what I got after 30 seconds then, I might give you the two or three minutes and then I might spend half an hour with you on a webinar or something, or a call here. We don't have that first piece that catches the attention. You could be the smartest person on the planet, but now we'll be commercially struggling.

David Jenyns: Sometimes there's a misconception thinking, well, if I'm going to systemise I have to systemise like McDonald's and it has to be to that level of detail. But there's a good chance some videographers might not be building a hamburger business. So we don't need to necessarily follow their roadmap exactly. But there's a lot of so key valuable lessons to be learned from McDonald's. How they got started. You know, we don't look at how McDonald's is today. They're this lean machine systemized. They can open stores within 30 days and meticulous the way that the store runs recruit like they are every aspect of their business is down to sort of like a fine tooth comb. And that's the result of it 60 years worth of work. But if you come back and you look at the movie, right at the start of that movie, they are around on a basketball court, and they've got some chalk. And they're mapping out the floor plan of one of the stores. And that is the way that systems are built, you start off rough and ready, you kind of just get whatever best practices, you make a tweak, you move things around.

Welcome to 'Video Made Simple' video podcast featuring marketers, entrepreneurs & clients who help take the mystery out of video and break through the monotony of day-to-day communication.

Have you ever had a stressful vacation because you can’t put your phone down, answering client calls or putting out fire in the office? Ever felt like you can’t catch a break during office hours because your staff kept consulting with you for every decision? Ever dreamed of growing your business but always wake up to the reality that your hands are always full?

It’s simple really. Step back and let your business run without you.

Wait, what?

Welcome to 'Video Made Simple' video podcast featuring marketers, entrepreneurs & clients who help take the mystery out of video and break through the monotony of day-to-day communication.

In this episode, Chris Schwager (Video Marketer from Ridge Films) is joined by David Jenyns (CEO of systemHUB, author of Systemology) as they talk about how systemizing your business processes can create time, reduce errors, and give your business a chance to scale, as well as how videos help streamline the operations so that other people can take over in the absence of another.

David Jenyns: When I realized it's not about the software, it really isn't, as much as I'd love to be able to say system hub is the only solution. And everybody needs to have this. There are some challenges with every platform. And there's pros and cons. And then the real key is if you've got a project management platform, if you're running projects through an Asana, a teamwork, PM, a Podio, or Monday or something like that, when you start to think about assigning tasks out to team members, the point at which you assign the task, you want to have the link to that video or that training at that point. So you might say, alright, this task is getting assigned to Sally to issue out an invoice to the client. And in the description, there's a link to how to issue out that invoice in MYOB. And that way she gets assigned the task, but if she can't do it, it makes it so much easier to reassign it to someone else. Because you've already got the how to document or training right there. That's that's actually the real key.

Nathanial Bibby: It's more important than ever not to come across as a salesperson if you want to get customers. It's about looking professional and ensuring credibility. People need to know what you do. If your headline and your company name and your profile photos are that good that people are curious enough to click on your name and read your profile to find out why you do that, that's cool. But if people are looking for something specific, and then they're looking in their network for video marketing agency, it's good to have it in your headline. But other than that, I would keep it very professional, like the things are changing on LinkedIn. I think you want to make sure that first things first, if you are on there to get customers, make sure it doesn't look like a salesperson.

Nathanial Bibby: Videos are shared 20 times more than any other type of content. But it doesn't just mean that you can sit there and do a video and it's going to do well. It's got to be good. Get them to remember the content, what you're saying, having it edited properly, lighting, audio, all those sort of things are a skill and are important. You can't just expect to to hop in front of the camera and say Hi, here I am on my way to a meeting! and all of a sudden your business is going to go crazy. You've got to have some sort of strategy and it's going to take some time for you to get good at it."

Danielle Johansen: “I tried to film the investor video myself. I spent I would say a good two days filming, re-filming, filming, re-filming, watching, tweaking. So for me the advantage was, firstly, you helping us script it in a way that is going to resonate with the everyday person. And I think the professionalism of Ridge Films, people said so many compliments about the video, and how lovely it was to watch how professional it was. I couldn't have achieved that on my own.

It's a new world for business and one of the massive changes especially in marketing is the way we engage with people. In this episode, we're joined by Sian Jenkins, the marketing director ANZ of Genesys, as she gives her insights on the utilisation of pre-recorded videos in virtual events.

Sian has 14 years of experience in developing, executing and analysing B2B marketing strategies across a broad spectrum of industries. This year, Genesys ANZ hosted their first ever virtual flagship customer event — G Summit.

"Doing a 45 minute keynote presentation doesn't translate well in a virtual event. Clearly it's not how we consume digital content. We knew that we need to make session shorter and we have a lot less time to convey the messages. To engage people, we need to up our game in the actual production stakes. That's why we decided we definitely wanted to work with a company like you guys to help us do that."

Highlights of this episode

[02:23] Engagement level on virtual events
[05:39] What looks good VS what doesn't

It's a new world for business and one of the massive changes especially in marketing is the way we engage with people. In this episode, we're joined by Sian Jenkins, the marketing director ANZ of Genesys, as she gives us a snapshot of the engineering required to strategise and orchestrate a virtual event.

Sian has 14 years of experience in developing, executing and analysing B2B marketing strategies across a broad spectrum of industries. This year, Genesys ANZ hosted their first ever virtual flagship customer event — G Summit.

"We decided that we still wanted to have that large customer gathering virtually and decided to try to replicate that experience of our G Summit events that we hold every year. I think it is the testing ground for 2021. I think next year we'll probably see virtual events evolving massively even more and changing from from what they are now. There are so many being held now and people are only going to be learning more and improving and they're getting better and better as we go along."

"Stories are the glue that binds your prospect's attention to your solution.

Many of us are stuck in conversations about WHAT we do, lot’s of the time we forget to talk about WHY we do it.

In this podcast, Ray Djani from Cardena Private Wealth will discuss news, trends, and insights and show you how personalising videos will help improve relationships in financial services.

Marketing is built on emotion and yet that's the thing that we deny our audience of a lot of time. At the end of the day, it is a people's business. You're dealing with relationships notwithstanding the expertise you have. A person's going to come to you, not because of the perception they have of your skills but when you've established a connection. It's about humanising with vulnerability, explaining the why and as a result, building better relationships.

This 'Video Legend' Quickie is about discovering what types of videos should businesses have and consequently, when/how to use them?

In this episode, Chris Schwager (Video Marketer from Ridge Films) will help you understand the buyer's journey using Video Marketing.

Discovering types of videos is broken down into three stages - AWARENESS, EDUCATION, & CONVERSION. These stages will give you options of what types of videos you may be able to use.

Awareness videos are top-level content. These are about building credibility and showing why you do what you do.
Education content is about letting your consumer's know about the process, product, service etc.
Conversion videos are usually testimonials and case studies. These pull people through your sales to make their final decisions about you.

One of our clients, Navwealth, has produced a bunch of videos across these stages. This includes a Company Profile video, Our Approach, Prospect Nurture videos, Service Overview videos, and a Company Testimonial. Click here to check their amazing videos.

With the rapid shift in staffing due to COVID-19, wouldn’t it be easier if you employ the right person the first time? If you’re looking for work, wouldn’t it be great to cut through the hassles of CVs and the time it takes to search?

We're joined by Tobias Taylor from Pulse Talent who’s helping change talent searching forever with AI-Powered Interviewing combined with video marketing.

AI-powered talent searching removes the old-fashioned CVs. It targets persons who are seeking entry-level opportunities. It is about personality profiling with the use of video interviews. Thus, delivering a short, sharp, and on-point message.

Presenting in front of a camera could be uncomfortable the first time. Watch behind the scenes of virtual on-camera training with Tobias and see how he was transformed. Click here to watch.

Rapport is an unconscious state of trust and alignment with another person. It's unspoken. It's when you get into that concept of knowing and respectfully understanding each other's world.

In this podcast, Adrian Fadini from TradesFormation will discuss news, trends, and insights and show you how to build rapport and reinforce relationships virtually.

"Video gives you such a great way to communicate when you're not face-to-face. You start to build up some identity of who you are. Hitting the right person at the right time with the right message which turns into a sale. It doesn't have to get millions of views. It's just gotta hit the right person that's got the money at the right time to buy your services. And that makes it a huge impact on me as a business owner."

It’s probably no secret, but many business owners go it alone. Running your business is not about doing what you love, your skill, your product, or the service you provide. You got to know about marketing, sales, finance, managing teams.

And to make better decisions about the direction of your business, you have to compete in your market and not just sell on price.

We're joined by Greg Betty from Growth Potential Australia and discuss news, trends, and insights and show you how to manage disruption and still grow your business.

"Things people that they may need to change with their marketing is go through the marketing plan and decide if the target markets are still valid. Explore other marketing activities that have never been tapped. The reality is business owners probably need to get going with prepping a lot of marketing, to generate lead flow, and be ready to get going again."

No one is immune to nerves when presenting. It is essential during these times to be able to communicate effectively which comes down to a few different factors.

In this episode, Video legend Arabella Macpherson from Resonate Communications gives her perspective on how to keep your remote team engaged through the likes of Zoom video conferencing.

"The biggest fear of engaging and keeping your remote team happy is how to do it professionally. Have your thoughts in long written from. If you are getting on a camera, it has to be short, succinct, and well-prepared. Because if you're not clear, then no one else is going to be, especially when you have to get past that video lens to connect with one another."

Videos build relationships particularly in this environment when we've got to be able to communicate virtually. Also, it communicates simpler and faster than a human as it can bridge the gap in terms of delivering a simplified message.

Video legend Rob McAdam from CXO Security gives us his perspective on how to ensure your videos are working and keep them relevant for your clients, staff and the broader community.

"It really comes back to defining the strategy right upfront. We will be different for every business because every business has already existing touchpoints, whether that's over an email or a phone call. It's about video supplementing and helping people through that journey."

Videos need to be purposeful, relevant and executed easily.

Today’s show is about unpacking as many ideas as possible to help you remain relevant as crisis consistently presents opportunities. Some businesses can drive empathy but actually not have a solution that's going to be helpful.

"We are a civilization that needs to connect and communicate. We have the ability to communicate on video like this and transmit anywhere in the world.

Most of the time, DIY investors end up with poor investments and that scares them because they don't get the results they want. Researching the right property can be pretty daunting if you go it alone and yet property is the most valuable asset you'll ever purchase.

Video legend Jay Anderson from Jay Anderson Property gives us his perspective on creating a more humanised business and how he’s leading the way with video marketing.

"As soon as you start getting technical, people might not understand, and it goes straight over their heads. It's about injecting some empathy, simplification and making it easy. Be simple, talk to your lowest common denominator and talk like you're at a barbecue. Just be cool and don't try and be too technical, robotic, wordy or clever, because otherwise you'll lose them and it's very important to build that trust and rapport early on."

People are tired of boring and robotic automated non-human template emails. While one could argue that it works, there's often not a lot of humanisation in the process.

Video legend Matt Barnett from Bonjoro gives us his perspective on creating and growing a more humanised business using videos.

"People say, I don't have the time to send a video to every lead, every customer that comes through and to ask what my response is, if you don't have a minute spend on the customer, you probably don't deserve that customer. In terms of doing the live video, just be yourself. People appreciate it more because it's transparent and trustworthy."

There's really not a lot of restauranters that are using video marketing. When lots of times businesses think about videos in a corporatized sense and that doesn't transition well in the restaurant game.

Video legend Simon Chan from Fortune Village Chinese Restaurant gives us his perspective on creating a more humanised restaurant business and how he’s leading the way with video marketing.

"I wouldn't say strategy, but we try to have a repeat customer because having a repeat customer is much better than having a new customer every day. But the world changes. So you do need new customers and if you are not sure how to go out to the world and expose your business on what I call the modern world with internet and with VIDEO it would be a minefield. So it's good to have good advice on how to do that because a video is not just a video."
