And that an overwhelming majority* of folks are influenced by social media videos when deciding to buy.
So why not give your market what they want, which means more videos?
"But I don't know how to do it," you say?
"Oooh, it's too hard," you say?
It may be true that you don't know how to create a video. But it is not hard. In this month's Do-With-Me Demo, I will prove exactly how easy and quick it can be in Canva.
"But I freeze on camera," you say?
It may be true that you freeze on camera. But you don't need to appear on camera! You can use images, text, and videos within your video. Again, I will show you how.
"And it's too expensive," you say?
Seriously? It is not expensive at all, especially if you use a tool like Canva.
Please join me on Tuesday for this new and improved demo. I'm pulling back the curtain to show you my own behind-the-scenes process for creating videos. (You may have noticed that I've published video news flashes for the past 18 weeks.)
Here's the improved part: I'm sharing my tips and lessons learned for creating videos in Canva. Use this handout to follow along during the demo.
Plus as a bonus, my personal video SOP [standard operating procedure] for my weekly videos. Use it to inspire your own video creation and distribution process.
You will SEE live and in real time exactly how to create videos in Canva quickly and easily. So if you've been frustrated, confused, or overwhelmed by Canva videos, this demo is for YOU.
This live members-only experience will be recorded. But if you show up, you'll get to ask your questions and get my support live.
YES, this helpful live demo is INCLUDED with your membership. No extra charge. (And no guests, please.)
*Waaay too many stats to list here; google it if you want to know more.

Hey DIYer, here's another member exclusive tool for YOU:
The How to Make a Video in Lumen5 Cheat Sheet is my step-by-step start-to-finish guide for creating social videos with Lumen5.com.
Yep, full videos, with music or voiceover, plus all the copy you want, as well as video images. All this, even without a paid account (really).
Full disclosure: I do NOT get any "credit" or income from your paid (or unpaid) account. I recommend Lumen5 because it is easy, intuitive, a great product, and an amazing deal.
This cheat sheet has detailed instructions for making your video, just as if I were doing it right there with you. (That's why there are so many reminders in the cheat sheet to "save your work" as you go through the process!)
Wondering where to start? Here are 3 quick & easy-peasy video ideas to promote your business:
Client reviews &/or testimonials (use copy from your online reviews)
Expert (you!) advice or tips your market looks for
Event or offer promos (sales, specials, newsletter sign up, etc.)
TIP: Be sure to include a call-to-action &/or a link in each video.
Reminder: Don't worry if you've shared the information before, especially in another format. Repeating content is how you reinforce your messages to your market. ←
As coach John Wooden said: "The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition."
These eight laws apply to your marketing, too! 😎
By the way, even if you use another video-making tool, this cheat sheet is super helpful! You'll see how helpful in the June Do-With-Me Demo: Social Videos in Canva. See the details and register: Canva Video Demo
☑️ The Event Promotion Cheat Sheet includes over 40 ways proven to help spread the word about your event.
☑️ The Lead Bait Titles Cheat Sheet (a member favorite!) has 30 lead bait title ideas that you can customize for yourself.
☑️ The Repurpose, Reuse, & Recycle Content Cheat Sheet: 50+ Tried & True Ways to Monetize & Publicize Your Intellectual Property, has over 50 ideas for effective ways to deliver your message to your hungry market.
What if you had a marketing process that you could use over and over again to produce consistent results? A process that would generate tons of leads, again and again? Make quick sales, over and over? Or reactivate former clients into current buyers?
It's not magic, it's a marketing campaign! Once you have one that works, you can use it to put your marketing on auto-pilot. So you'll spend less time, effort, and frustration while getting better results.
In this class, you'll see:
How a marketing campaign differs from a marketing plan
The five categories of marketing campaigns
Why campaigns fail (and how to fix that)
A sample campaign to inspire you
Plus my step-by-step campaign checklist for your next campaign
And more
