Are Your Videos Even Optimized?

Give Them What They Want or Lose Out On The Best Leads
At the bare minimum ask people to subscribe to your newsletter. It’s the easiest way to get new subscribers.
If you want to put a little more thought into your lead tactics then you can offer your audience something they can’t resist.
For example, provide worksheets to help them solve specific problems, give them a case-study, or some deep dives into specific topics.
I have even given away a One Page PDF with my content creation framework. The key is to make the offer so valuable it feels like a steal.
Don’t Overthink Your Content (No Fancy Production Necessary)
Your audience doesn’t need a Hollywood production. They want to see how you work.
Teach viewers how you’re solving problems, using tools, or helping clients achieve results. Pair these videos with relevant lead magnets to drive conversions.
