Our mission here at HBSU and KC Visuals Unlimited is to help you tell your story and enhance your brand online using video.  We understand that not every small business or independent professional has the budget to afford professionally produced videos for their website and social media site.  However, we still encourage you to post videos that you create yourself, so why not make them as good as you can get them?   With a few simple steps and some inexpensive equipment and software, you can create your own great videos.   The book is very easy reading and designed to guide you through the process of planning, creating, and posting your videos for maximum impact.

Video Marketing is vital to most small businesses right now, and for many reasons.   Search Engine Optimization is one of the main reasons for doing video, because it gives you an organic boost in rankings.  Why?  Mostly because Google owns the second largest search engine next to itself, called Youtube.   So the search engines spiders that craw throught websites smile when they find video.  SEO also looks at time spent on websites, so if you have a compelling message you can deliver via video, it keeps your audience on your site, giving you another organic boost.   People don't want to read as much anymore.  They want to watch video and learn about you quickly, while being entertained, engaged, and informed.

Planning may be one of the most overlooked steps in the video production process.  Each video you do should have a specific intent and call to action.  Before you ever shoot your video, you should identify who your audience is and then analyze the audience.  Who are they?  Where are they?  What do they do?  What is theiir problem or what is causing their pain?  How can you help solve the problem or relieve the pain.   Once you know who your audience is, you then establish objectives for your video.   What should the audience learn or do after watching your video?  What is the appropriate call to action?   Remember, most landing page videos should only be 60 to 90 seconds, so you don't want too much in each video.  Solve one problem or raise one question, so they are eager to see the next video in your video marketing campaign.

If you aren't currently using video to tell your story, you really do need to start now.  Experts like Gary Vaynerchuk, internet marketing guru, guarantee you won't survive online if you aren't using video.  Our book will help you get started, and guide you all the way through, so download the book today.  Click on the picture to order on Amazon.  It's just $2.99.

  • "I am extremely pleased with the videography work of Michael Connell at HBSU.  I contacted him just a few days before performing in a live symphonic concert at Boston's Wilbur Theater, hoping to find someone to film the show.  He was very quick to respond and not only captured excellent HD footage from multiple angles, but also took care of recording audio directly into the live mixing board - something I hadn't even thought of!  He was a professional in every sense of the word, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again."

  • I was initially overwhelmed with the project of scheduling and shooting videos of 16 of our doctors and providers. But working with Mike was extremely easy--his flexibility and low-key professionalism made the entire project come together easily over 4 separate shooting days. He put the subjects at ease which allowed them to talk easily about their passion for medicine. I am happy to have found such a great resource for future video projects.

  • Easy set up and cordination. The quality of the video was excellent and the finished product was handed over in a short turn around! Would use his expertise again and would definitely recommend his services.
