Video marketing isn’t for everyone. And there’s nothing in the rulebook that says you have to become proficient in every aspect of your online marketing endeavors. Some things you can outsource – to pros who do enjoy and excel at that task!
But how do you outsource video marketing? You can probably do the pre-planning stage on your own. This is where you gather your information and map out a plan. For example, you’ll want to flesh out who your target audience is, what should go into the presentation to suit their needs, and what information you’ll use to meet those needs.
You may even go so far as to create a storyboard for the video producer to show what will go into each “scene” – meaning sections of information within the video tutorial.
You’ll probably want to outsource the production phase or the editing phase of your project. The production phase is where the recording takes place. If you don’t feel confident with the production, then it won’t turn out very professional, so if you take the do it yourself route, make sure you practice and watch the video back to see how the results look.
Outsourcing the editing of your video production can also be a timesaver. Sometimes, even the most confident video marketers slip up or need a good polishing on their video piece – and a professional editor can add theme music to the introduction, edit out any mistakes, clean up the audio files that accompany the screen and make the whole video run more smoothly.
Once you decide what it is you want to outsource, you’ll need to know who to hire for the job. You don’t want to trust anyone claiming to have video editing skills – because that can vary.
First, head to an online freelance marketplace such as Elance. There, you can find affordable freelance video professionals who are building a brand name on the ‘net. If you want to ensure an even more professional deliverable, then you might contact some local college students in the TV production field. Ask to speak to the professor and he can put you in touch with someone who has the skills that you need.
Another good place to look is at your local TV news stations – many of the technical crew members moonlight for extra money, and you’ll get a high grade professional video for a fraction of what it would cost you to outsource to a business entity.
No matter who you hire to produce and/or edit your videos, make sure you check references and feedback and watch a demo sample of their abilities, making sure you ask if they had help or created it all themselves.
