SECTION 1: AN INTRODUCTION

Hi there!

Welcome to your first Digital Marketing Master Class!

Today, we’ll be talking about VIDEO MARKETING – Yay!

I am so super excited for you be here.

In this module, we’ll be focusing on Video Marketing, and our first week will be a comprehensive introduction to all things related to Video Marketing. We have a lot of great information to cover, so let’s get started!

Week One: Video Basics & Introduction

So, the reason I start you off with Video Marketing is because it is the fastest, most effective, and least expensive marketing strategy for small business entrepreneurs on a tight budget. That makes video marketing a very powerful triple hitter you can’t afford to ignore when it comes to marketing your business! It’s a really great way to showcase your business whether you’re a novice or expert. Luckily, you can start off slowly until you’re ready to branch out into more sophisticated video marketing.

Video Marketing also allows you to test to see what content most popular, and what types of content you should reproduce or syndicate later on.  You’ll be able to know in advance, without guessing, and wasting time, effort or money, what types of videos gets the most comments, views, engagement, comments etc.

That way, when you look at your analytics, and you’re creating a real marketing campaign (not like the testing we’re going to start off doing), you’ll be able to concentrate on those areas where you already know you’re going to succeed.

This is one reason to start off with video marketing early on in your business (I’d focus on video marketing first rather than social media marketing, which is why the course is laid out the way it is, and I’ll tell you why later. Additionally, video marketing is quick, easy and free, and once you start making money from your organic leads through your various video marketing channels, you can place VIDEO ADS that you already know are going to be winners, so you scale, grow, expand your business using professional, corporate level precision and get delightfully surprising results.

The goal really is to make enough money through organic channels, that you build up to the money you need to invest in paid ads and professional – OTHERWISE YOU STAY STUCK. STYA ON THE TREADMINLL. FAKING IT HOPING YOU’LL MAKE. 

 However, unlike many sad, sorry entrepreneurs, you won’t be wasting your time or your money, because you will have tested everything first. That’s why The Mappdom course was developed the way it was, to guide you through the easiest, quickest most effective channels that bring you the business fast, so make money and grow. Simple. We know small businesses don’t have a lot of money, so implementing these vital tactics will really help.

So... be patient with yourself, and LET’S GO! 

Are you excited to get started?

It’s going to be easy and fun, so don’t worry about it.

Let’s Go!
