Your time is precious. I’m sure that as you get further and further into the business of video production, more things are competing for your time, especially marketing. It’s so easy to lose countless hours on social media or in your inbox marketing what you do. Don’t get trapped! Today’s guest is here to tell us how to avoid this all while maximizing your outreach and landing repeat customers.
Key Takeaways
Don’t rely solely on a single social media platform to market your business. Bring potential clients to a platform you have more control over, like your email list. This will give you more direct access and control over your outreach.
Everything you do should tie into your overall brand. This means having consistency in how you present yourself and your business in every way that you present yourself.

Using Your Uniqueness to Market Your Business
Today, Laura sheds some light on the mistakes we make when marketing and how to do a better job without overworking. First of all, too many of us just market in one way, often a single social media platform. But you shouldn’t rely solely on social media. Sure, you can meet potential customers there, but then you need to lead them somewhere where you can have direct contact, like your email list.
Once you’ve made these connections, it’s up to you to convert them into repeat paying clients. Laura explains how connecting on a personal level is essential to this. Not everyone works well together. But I assure you that there are clients out there who work best with you. Laura explains how to harness the power of your unique personality to make these connections.
Why Do You Even Need a Marketing Strategy?
If you’ve never come up with a marketing strategy before, Laura urges you to think very clearly about who you want to serve and who you don’t. Your message is central to this. Having great content is wonderful, but if you can’t connect it with an appealing yet succinct message, you’ll never capture people’s attention.
Beyond this, you need to be clear on how your videos will actually help your clients. People can get a video anywhere, but you need to communicate what makes yours different if you want to get their business. You need to make it clear how your video will be a transformation for your client in language that resonates with both of you.
