Here's a helpful list of key questions to consider:

  • What is your target audience's goal? What is their pain point?
  • How can your product or service solve your audience's pain point or help them accomplish their goal?
  • What type of video will you create? Will you create an explainer video like Renee, or opt for a different format?
  • What production style will you use in your video: screen recording, live action, animation, or a combination?

Use the project space as a place to share your progress, experiences, and insights. No matter where you find yourself in the video production process, we can't wait to see what you're working on!

Boost traffic to your website with Pinterest (Skillshare)

Why? Boost your traffic ten fold, or even 100 fold. If it weren't for Pinterest I wouldn't be getting the thousands of weekly views I receive now. Gone are the days of true organic reach from the likes of Facebook where they have killed organic visitors in favour of paid advertisements. Pinterest doesn't do that. Pinterest still allows people to search for what they need, and receive what they search for. This is best platform for growing your organic views by many, and I'm going to show you how to do it.
