Make Your Marketing Videos Shine: How to Use Simple Clips

As a female service provider, marketing your business involves more than just sharing your expertise; it’s about creating a connection with your audience. One of the most effective ways to do this is through video content, specifically by utilizing B-Roll footage. Let’s dive into how you can capture, organize, and utilize B-Roll to enhance your marketing strategy.

What is B-Roll and Why is it Important?

B-Roll refers to the supplementary footage that enhances the primary video content. It’s those candid, behind-the-scenes shots that add depth and context to your story. Keeping a collection of B-Roll can make your videos more engaging, relatable, and professional. It shows your audience the real, unfiltered side of your day-to-day life, building a stronger connection.

Capturing B-Roll: Daily Routines

Documenting your daily routines can provide a treasure trove of B-Roll footage. Here are some moments to capture:

  • Morning Rituals: Journalling, reading the Bible, making your bed, doing your hair and makeup, brushing your teeth.
  • Starting Your Day: Turning on your computer, filling up your water bottle, making or pouring a cup of tea/coffee, making and eating breakfast.

Fashion Moments

Your sense of style can speak volumes about your personality and brand. Capture these fashionable moments:

  • Outfit Details: Mirror selfies, full-length outfit shots, closeups of accessories, shoes, and putting on shoes.
  • Accessorizing: Putting on a hat, earrings, jewelry, grabbing your keys, putting on your purse.

Fitness and Outdoor Activities

Show your commitment to health and the great outdoors with these B-Roll ideas:

  • Workouts: Walking, running, lifting weights, Pilates, yoga, swimming, other workout classes.
  • Nature: Hiking, camping, biking, smelling flowers, watering plants, getting in and out of the car.

Pet Moments

Pets add a warm, relatable touch to your videos. Consider capturing:

  • Daily Interactions: Playing, walking, feeding, bathing your pet, or their funny/naughty moments.

Tech and Gadgets

Show your tech-savvy side with shots of:

  • Daily Tech Use: Typing on your laptop, filming on your phone, texting, calling friends, Zoom meetings, watching TV or movies.

Share your city adventures and social moments with these ideas:

  • Cityscapes: Walking around the city or countryside, taking a taxi/Uber, dining out, driving.

Socializing: Dinner with friends, family time in the living room, at the dinner table, doing dishes together, playing games.

Home Life

Invite your audience into your home with these cozy moments:

  • Home Activities: Cleaning, organizing, homeschooling, showing what you eat, reading to your kids, family movie nights.

Organizing Your B-Roll

To keep your B-Roll organized, create a dedicated album on your cell phone. Label each clip with descriptive tags so you can easily find and use them when needed. This organization will save you time and make your video creation process smoother.

Utilizing B-Roll in Your Marketing

Once you have your B-Roll footage, use it to add variety and interest to your videos. Incorporate these clips into your social media posts, website, and marketing materials. B-Roll can serve as engaging transitions, background visuals, or highlight reels to keep your audience captivated.

By consistently capturing and using B-Roll, you’ll not only enhance the quality of your content but also create a more authentic and engaging experience for your audience. So, start filming those everyday moments and watch your marketing soar!

When and How to Hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) with Christi Johnson

When and How to Hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) with Christi Johnson Marketing Strategy Academy Podcast #216

When and How to Hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) with Christi Johnson

Today, we’re diving into a gem of a conversation with Christi Johnson from Christy Johnson Creative. If you’ve ever wondered whether you need an Online Business Manager (OBM) and how they could drastically improve your business, you’re in for a treat. So, grab your coffee, sit back, and let’s get into it!

Why Consider an Online Business Manager?

Are you struggling to keep your marketing efforts aligned with your business goals? Maybe it’s time to consider hiring an online business manager! You might be thinking, “How do I know when it’s the right time, and where do I start?” Well, you’re not alone, and guess what? Christi Johnson has all the answers.

Who is Christi Johnson?

Christi is an integrator, an online business manager, and a consultant for creative and neurodivergent entrepreneurs. She’s the CEO of a branding and backend business agency, working alongside four of her family members. With 15 years of small business experience, she’s got the know-how to help you scale your service-based business with ease. Oh, and she’s also a fellow podcast host, so she understands the ins and outs of consistent content creation.

The Difference Between an OBM and a VA

Christi explains it perfectly: An OBM helps you manage the day-to-day operations of your business. They’re your go-to for creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and ensuring your projects are on track. In contrast, a Virtual Assistant (VA) focuses more on specific tasks that you delegate to them. Think of an OBM as your strategic partner who helps you see the big picture, while a VA handles the detailed tasks within it.

Signs You’re Ready for an OBM

Wondering if you should hire an OBM? Here are a few signs highlighted by Christi:

  • Consistent Income: You need to be making steady income to afford an OBM.
  • Staying on Task: If you find it hard to stay focused or organized, an OBM can help keep you on track.
  • Delegating Tasks: Difficulty in managing your VA or other team members is a strong indicator.
  • Overwhelmed Operations: If daily operations leave you feeling swamped, an OBM can streamline things.

Are you ready to effectively use Pinterest marketing to grow your business? Look no further! We’ve curated a collection of over 15 essential Pinterest marketing tools and 8 expert-led masterclasses and challenges, all designed to help you succeed on this dynamic platform.

Finding the Right OBM

Finding the perfect OBM isn’t just about scrolling through Instagram hashtags. Get clear on your goals and why you need an OBM. Jump on a call with potential candidates and ensure they match your vibe. Let’s be real—it’s crucial to have someone you genuinely enjoy working with, especially since you’ll be spending a lot of time together.

Enhancing Your Marketing Strategy with an OBM

An OBM doesn’t create your marketing plan, but they’re genius at implementing it. They help ensure you’re meeting your deadlines and streamline other areas of your business, giving you more time to focus on creating content. An OBM helps align your marketing strategies with your overall business operations, making everything flow seamlessly.

Setting Expectations and Overcoming Challenges

Remember, while an OBM can make your life significantly easier, they aren’t miracle workers. Keep realistic expectations about what they can accomplish. Set clear roles and ensure everyone on your team knows their responsibilities. Communication is key to avoiding overlaps and misunderstandings.

The Top Three Things That Have Helped Christi Grow Her Business

  • Relationship Building: Networking and genuine engagement on platforms like Instagram.
  • Growth Mindset: Embracing failure and continuous learning.
  • Hiring a Coach: Having guidance to set and achieve financial goals.

Christi also emphasizes the importance of choosing the right coach—someone who understands your unique situation.

Feeling like you could use Christi’s expertise? She offers website design, branding, copywriting, branding photos, and a comprehensive course called the Dream Biz Kickstart to help you launch your business in just eight weeks! Plus, her OBM services are perfect for ongoing support, whether you’re launching a new offer or need operational help.
