Successful videos do not happen by accident.
Behind the scenes there are always formulas and strategies closely followed to
ensure videos actually work.
If you’re reading this guide, I imagine you’ve struggled with knowing how to plan,
outline and script videos that actually deliver results - make money, increase
authority, build awareness and share impactful stories.
This resource will help you understand how to make successful videos,
specifically everything that must happen up until you hit record.

VIDEO STRATEGY
People don’t buy videos. They buy the results that videos produce.
No matter if it’s a sales video, Hollywood movie or home video.
Videos deliver a story and invite the viewer to act… at least videos that are
actually good!
Videos that drive the biggest impact put customers first.
Videos with messaging that show understanding of customer pains, stories
and desires will be most effective.
Consider where your customer is in their journey and how to create specific
messages to be relevant and targeted. This will increase how much your
customers know, love and trust you.
And lead to more sales!
To simplify your strategy it’s best to focus on the 3 P’s of video marketing.
Purpose. People. Platform.
4
PART 1
PURPOSE
Purpose should be at the forefront of your video strategy.
What result do you want your videos to create for your business?
Don’t overwhelm your audience with more than one purpose (or topic) per
video, especially for awareness on social media.
And make sure you’re clear on your message so you can know how to talk
about what you do and why in a simple yet powerful way.

PART 2
PEOPLE
People should be the primary focus of your video messages.
People are your ultimate buyers and will determine the success of your
business.
So know exactly who you’re talking to in your videos.
What do they want? What are they struggling with? What stories can you
share in order to help them transform beliefs?
Who are your customers?
Narrowing down your audience to a specific person will help you create a far
more targeted and successful video.
Don’t include everyone. Know who you’re talking to and use their name and
language to make the messaging about them.
6
PART 3
PL ATFORM
Optimize each video for the platform of distribution. Each platform requires
different sizes, lengths and design changes.
Keep your videos short and to the point because attention span is limited.
Add a call to action at the end of your video. Let them know what they
should do next.
You want to increase engagement, CTR, likes, shares, comments and so
much more so your videos are successful!
Planning your videos is vital to a successful video. Most of the work should
happen before you even hit record.
Beyond the three P’s, your video strategy should consider the following
during the planning phase.
7
CHECKLIST
This is your official video planning checklist:
People: Know who your message is for.
Purpose: What do you want your video to do?
Platform: What’s your distribution channel?
Budget: Don’t cut costs. Quality is in the message but if all you do film on
smartphones then your business can only grow so far. Use quality camera
equipment, hire a crew, rent a location and more.
Equipment (camera, storage, tripod, mic, lights)
Location: Decide on a dedicated place to film videos with no distractions.
Script: Guided by this resource write scripts and outlines with one
clear purpose.
Hook: Grab the attention of viewers in the first 7 seconds so they feel like
your message is relevant to them.
Location: Decide on a dedicated place to film videos with no distractions.
Length: In knowing your platform, understand how long your videos
should be to drive the biggest impact.
8
CHECKLIST
Authenticity: Be conversational and present yourself as if you’re

talking to a friend.
Storyboard / Shot List: Map out what your shots and visuals will be.
Pattern Interrupts: Maintain engagement with pattern interrupts

like tone of voice changes, graphics, jump cuts, different camera
angle, jokes, color changes and more.
SEO Optimize: Use proven link building and search optimization

strategies to be discovered.

VIDEO SCRIPT TEMPL ATES
I use the word “script” lightly as not every video will require a word-for-word
script as you may be comfortable with the message that needs to be
delivered and so an outline will simply work great for you.
But, if you’re like most people...you tend to ramble without organized
thoughts.
So these scripts are meant to guide you in how to outline, plan and even
create detailed scripts for the next videos you’ll create.
The following “scripts” are videos that support each step of your customer’s
journey, a.k.a - sales funnel.
COMMERCIAL TEMPLATE
Create a social video using the following format.
The following outline is for brand awareness and direct response.
10
SCRIPTS
Hook: Grab the attention of your viewer with a relevant question or statement
that gets them to recognize that what you will share is beneficial to them.
Problem: What one problem are you customers experiencing right now?
Talk about this issue simply (make sure it’s the problem that your product
or service is solving).
Agitate: Appeal to the emotions and costs of this problem in simple
language your ideal customer will understand.
Story: Guide the emotions by sharing a personal or customer story who
also experienced the problem before finding the solution you will be
introducing. Consider reviewing The Story Supply™ Process.
Solution: Introduce the solution naturally from the story. This is your offer
and any product or service that supports it. Show your customer that you
can help them out of the goodness of your heart relevancy of your story.
Call To Action #1: Tell the audience exactly what to do.
Authority: Position your authority, credential and why someone
should trust you.
11
SCRIPTS
Social Proof: Deepen trust with your customer through sharing examples of
how your solution has gotten results for others through testimonials, quotes,
stats, pictures.
Call To Action #2: What happens next for viewers to get similar results for
themselves. Do they click a button on the page, email you, pay for the
product, book a call, etc. Also, emphasize bonuses, discounts and scarcity.
Recap: Review the benefits for your customer and why now is the time to act.
RETARGETING VIDEO TEMPLATE
Retargeting video ads should be quick.
You want customers to know exactly what to do with a direct call to action.
At this step in their journey they’ve already seen one of your videos and now
they’re ready to take action.
12
SCRIPTS
Consider the following best practices and give yourself 60 seconds or less to
re-engage your customers and get a direct response…
Combat sales objections
Show products you know your customer will be interested in
Encourage action with urgency
Offer discounts and one time offers

VIDEO SALES LETTER TEMPLATE
A sales letter is a marketing message written to influence a customer to
purchase a product or service.
A video sales letter (VSL) is the same thing, done as a video.
Video becomes even more powerful to put a face to what’s being offered. The
VSL replaces the written sales copy exploring the customer’s problem and
introducing a specific product or service.
14
SCRIPTS
A face is best but not the only way - animations, whiteboards, slideshows can
work too.
The Video Sales Letter framework can be almost exactly the same as the
commercial script but with further emphasis on the detailed features and
benefits of the product or service being offered.

words to the supporting visual.
Consider including timecode to map out the pacing of the
video.
Hi, my name is...! 0:00 - 0:10: Talking head.
STORYBOARD
Storyboards are a powerful tool to map out shot by shot, scene by scene, line by
line what the viewer will see in a video.
This is a common and useful practice for Hollywood movies and even the videos
you will be creating.
16
CONCEPTS
This may include a mix of visuals from the mood-board below or script templates
above.
Or, you can try sketching what you envision the video to look like on paper or with
the starter guide below.

Script or dialogue here “Welcome to the show…”
MOODBOARDS + CONCEPTS
Curating a small library of images and links of other videos and visuals that
inspire you in the videos you’re planning to make is a common practice for
achieving a specific look in your videos.
This will help with your creative vision and inspiration for your videos and the
team involved.
17
CONCEPTS
Think of it like a Pinterest board where you can organize a collection of ideas that
inspire you and put it all in one place for the videos you’ve scripted.
Give your concept a title and description like the sample below. Even insert a
picture or video link of the style and approach you'd like and explain the reason
why it inspires you for the video(s) you’ll be creating.
Example Concept
Credit: Story & Heart
In the launch of the new online course I think a mix of documentary style interviews
and workshop presentation will be best to convey the emotion, story and information
we need to deliver in the video.
