We’re doing something different this week, starting with episode 1 of a 5 part series getting into the topic of short form video production.

So, how can you leverage short form video content to grow your business? And what are some trends to look for?
This 5 part podcast series gets into the details starting with TikTok:
What started as a platform to showcase short form video, often silly, has caught on as one of the newest social media platforms. TikTok’s emergence as a mainstream social media staple also presents an opportunity for early adopter brands, many of which are seeing surprising results from having short form video on the app.
TikTok calls itself the leading destination for short-form mobile video. the platform has millions of active users who open the app more than 8 times a day.
The Wall Street Journal did an amazing article (https://www.wsj.com/video/series/inside-tiktoks-highly-secretive-algorithm/investigation-how-tiktok-algorithm-figures-out-your-deepest-desires/6C0C2040-FF25-4827-8528-2BD6612E3796) about their algorithm – the article and video set the tone for the somewhat “sketchy” practices TikTok is using to keep users engaged and committed to their platform with short form video.
I’m going to play the entire audio version of the Wall Street Journal video (https://www.wsj.com/video/series/inside-tiktoks-highly-secretive-algorithm/investigation-how-tiktok-algorithm-figures-out-your-deepest-desires/6C0C2040-FF25-4827-8528-2BD6612E3796) for this podcast. Listen closely and try not to get caught up in the tone and presentation…it’s sort of 20/20, CNN newsy style with documentary style music, words and prompts that kinda suggest TikTok is doing something really bad.
What I want you to do when you listen is avoid that, put yourself in the shoes of a marketer and listen to the information…to the growth TikTok's algorithm can give your business… then visit our website at thedvshow.com for times and dates for the live discussion where we are going to host a discussion related to this topic...we want your feedback!

Scary Truths About Ecommerce Video Production 10 May 2021 11:08 AM (4 years ago)
We’re getting into my favorite topic on this episode: ecommerce video production! An entirely different creative and business process before any video can perform successfully.
Ecommerce product videos empower shoppers with product knowledge and confidence. Shopping online is an amazing resource for our busy lives and growing by leaps and bounds every day. But eCommerce sites lack the tangibility and real-life product demos that people get in brick and mortar shops. There is no salesman or pro staff to pitch the product and relay product information relative to each customer’s unique situation. eCommerce lacks the human touch. Video Review Labs creates eCommerce video experiences that make online shopping more tangible and genuine. When people are shopping for higher price point products or technically complicated products like pro camping gear or electronics, they need to thoroughly understand what they are getting in the box.
When producing product videos, every e-commerce platform is different, the audience you’re selling the product to, and creating the video for, is different. There are formats, specific lengths to adhere to, social media platforms to think about, search engine optimization and the list goes on...
On this themed episode we have two product video production experts from resultsimagery.com joining us in the studio. We have some listener questions on tap to answer with our social audio audience ready to chime in with feedback and advice, and some cool tools in the download vault this week - some free stuff you can use to get those product videos produced faster and without hassle.

Ghosted? What to Do When a Client Doesn’t Pay Up! 16 Mar 2021 11:08 AM (4 years ago)
We have a great podcast for you this week - hopefully solving the age old issue of a client not coughing up the goods…you know, that client who refuses to pay you after all of the video work you did. Freelancing in the video production world does have its perks but one of the downsides is that risk that your client won’t pay on time and is seemingly unreachable.
In the dating world, when someone stops calling and seems to have fallen off the radar completely, it’s referred to as “ghosting.” As you can imagine, getting ditched by last night’s dinner date is disappointing, but it isn’t nearly as traumatic as being ghosted by a client you’ve spent a lot of time and did lots of work for, but suddenly disappear on you…not cool!
Today’s guest is Dee Bowden, she teaches small business owners how to reconcile, resolve & recover OLD and OWED invoices to improve their cash flow. She just came out with a brand new book called Collect the Cash (https://collectthecash.biz/) – a great resource for anyone who needs a strategy to deal with that ghosting client.

The Only Man on the Planet Who Broadcasted Live Video From the Moon 15 Nov 2020 5:59 PM (4 years ago)
We are on a mission to rid this world of bad video. Now, what is bad video and not only looks and sounds horrible, but bad video doesn't do anything.
If it doesn't engage or get results. It's bad video, and it's a waste of everyone's time and resources. One of my favorite unforgettable interviews was with Stan LeBar, the NASA engineer who headed the team that created that black and white camera for Apollo moon missions.
Stan created the camera that engaged the entire world as they watched Neil Armstrong take his first steps on the moon. We all watched this during the worldwide television broadcast of the landing in 1969. Now that broadcast wasn't perfect, but we still view the historical footage to this very day, thanks to Stan and his team.
Now we're pulling this podcast up from the archives, along with some audio not included in the original edited version, which was released back on July 12 2009. Unfortunately, Stan passed away six months later on December 23 2009. He was 84 years old. So we are once again dedicating this podcast to his accomplishment.
