The Business Video Challenge You’ll Love

Welcome to the Angel Anderson business video challenge.

The challenge is simple, create 5 videos this week that help your business.

So …What videos can you create this week that will help your business?

I asked this question to a local business owner, and he didn’t know the answer. But after we brainstormed, he now has plenty ideas.

However, as you know knowing what video you should create and actually recording and uploading the video is what makes the difference.

In his case, he hired me to record and edit a few videos for his business. You might not be able to hire me but that doesn’t mean that I can’t challenge you to create videos that will help your business this week.

Here are 5 business videos to help your business this week

12 things about launching a SAAS business you want to know

During a beautiful day at Delray Beach in Florida, I met with Chriss Brisson the CEO of Call Loop and Salesmsg because I wanted to ask him a couple of questions plus I had an excuse to stay at a hotel with the family near the beach.

Call Loop is a lifestyle business; there are people in place, systems, software, is scalable and automated for the most part.

Salesmsg is a two-way text messaging platform.

Take aways from our conversation:

Starting from scratch is hard, and sometimes we forget and end up repeating the same mistakes
Start selling before the product is ready
Use webinars to show, tell, and sell
Show proof
If your product solves a problem, your marketing becomes easier
Release an information product because is easy plus you will have an additional source of income
Get a dedicated sales person
Have three different options for your commission structure and let the sales person decide what they want to do
Document your sales process
Have a way to track your sales
Don’t think about it too much, pull the trigger fast and often
Don’t try to do everything, partner with someone with the right skill set

If you haven’t go and check out Call Loop and Salesmsg or at least share this post with a friend 🤙

June 2017 Lessons Learned

Having the freedom to focus on what matters the most has been a challenge but not impossible.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to choices. What’s more important to you and me right at this particular moment.

For me is to publish these lessons learned, for you is to learn something from them and avoid my mistakes.

I promise you that when you make the right decision, you will feel at peace, happy, and at the end of the day when its time to go to sleep you will feel fulfilled.

If you are an entrepreneur or have an online business like me your day can be full of distractions and tasks that don’t help you make more money. You and I have to consider what things we should do to provide the biggest ROI on your time and money.

Here is what I have learned so far.

Follow up with leads daily
Help at least one client every day
Use affiliate links every chance you get

May 2017 Lessons Learned

Sometimes you have to remind people you exist and what you do. I do that with youtube videos, social media posts, emails. How do you remind people you exist?

Recording and posting daily Youtube videos has helped me

Improve my storytelling skills
Improve my verbal and nonverbal communication
Increase my passive income
Sell my products and services

Posting to social media reminds people I’m still here, what I’m working on and how I can help them.

When it comes to email marketing, I need to do a better job. In the upcoming weeks, I will be releasing free products and services in hopes to attract new eyeballs to my website, products, and services.

However, creating unique content takes time and is why sometimes curating good content is crucial.

But curating content also takes time and can be challenging as well. If you curate your own content, you need to create a document with a list of all your content by category. To make it easy on you later include links to each blog post, image, and video.

When you curate content from someone else you have the option to automate the process saving you tons of time, but there is a chance something will be posted on your social media accounts that you might not be so proud of. The other options are to vet each piece of content from your trusted sources, but as you know by now, that takes a lot of time.

The current answer depends on your situation. Do you want to automate because you don’t have enough time and want to keep posting or do you want to spend the time vetting each piece of content?

While posting to social media server as a reminder that you and I exist following up with each person individually still the best way to help others in my opinion.

This month I got sidetracked again by a few distractions, the move from England to Florida and taking a few jobs with similar deadlines.

The good news is that I’m aware of the distractions and I’m eliminating them. I’m almost done settling in my new home and almost done with the house improvements my wife wants me to do.

The Plan

Prospect for new work everyday
Make a direct offer everyday
Follow up with leads and contacts daily
Network with other like-minded individuals
Record and upload daily lessons learned that help my clients and ideal client
Look client’s websites and recommend new improvements, strategies or tips
Ask for referrals
Give away one of my products to attract new eyeballs to my website
Do one guest post
Do one live event
Do one video collab
Do one livestream
Review and share products I like using affiliate links
Help one client daily

It’s possible I just have to avoid distractions, avoid consuming information that does help me get closer to my goals, shamelessly promote more and document the process.

How do you remind people you exist?
