You\u2019ve probably noticed that I haven\u2019t released a new Marketing Nugget<\/a> video for a little while. And that\u2019s because with everything that\u2019s been happening with the baby, I just haven\u2019t had time.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m planning to get back to filming next week.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen products on creating videos that go into huge detail. I\u2019ve worked on film sets, and seen first-hand how long it takes them to prepare a shot. I know enough about cameras to understand that different situations need different types of equipment.<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019ve also made enough videos and generated enough traffic and sales from them, to know that\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026you don\u2019t need all that detail to make a good video online!<\/i><\/p>\n

Hell, all you need is your phone.<\/b><\/p>\n

The cameras in phones are now so good, that you can make an excellent video with them, if you have the right app.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s how I do it\u2026<\/p>\n

There are two primary styles of video for your marketing, the handheld, slightly less formal selfie style, and the perfectly framed formal approach.<\/p>\n

Either can be done from a phone.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going for the less formal, selfie-style approach, like I do in my Marketing Nuggets<\/a>, then you should get someone else to film for you. Yeah, you can do it on your own, but it never looks quite as good, because you can\u2019t get the best angles.<\/p>\n

If you prefer the more formal approach, then buy yourself a tripod. They\u2019re just a few bucks off amazon and will mean that you can easily frame the picture and guarantee the phone won\u2019t move. It may take a bit longer to get everything in the right position, but after a few goes, you\u2019ll have it sorted.<\/p>\n

Next, you need a good film app. The one I use is called Filmic Pro, and it\u2019s by far the best app I\u2019ve used to record film on my phone. It allows you to adjust the brightness, set the white levels, and do a bunch of stuff that you can do on \u2018big\u2019 cameras.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve done recording your video, if you\u2019ve got an iPhone, run it through an iMovie filter. Often this will give it the final effect needed to boost the quality.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if there is an Android equivalent to this or not, but I\u2019d be surprised if there wasn\u2019t one.<\/p>\n

And then\u2026 upload the video to your blog, YouTube channel and anywhere else you want to put it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Simple and effective.<\/p>\n

But the hardest part, is getting the content to put in your video, and I\u2019m going to share how to get that in this afternoons email \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

P.S. I just checked The Elite Five out, and found the price freeze was still on! Craziness! Here\u2019s the link:<\/p>\n
