You will notice everything has shifted in social media. It used to be about photos and smart captions, but now it’s video and podcasts everywhere. The businesses producing both videos and podcasts are the front runners that people are noticing.

The majority of business owners know that they should up their game and be creating this kind of content, but actually doing it is a different story. How much time will it take, what to say and how to film it etc, can be the stumbling blocks that leave this task sat on their to do list.

The good news is it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Why Quality Content Makes a Difference

We all scroll and make a judgement in seconds.

Your visuals need to be clean and your sound clear to make that instant impression. If your sound isn’t great or the video looks dark, people will just scroll past without listening to your message, however good it may be.

It doesn’t mean you have to produce some flashy, over the top video, it’s simply about looking like you know what you are doing.

Producing videos and podcasts consistently will improve engagement, enquiries and reach, all of it.

What You Should Be Creating

It’s simpler than it sounds, no need to overthink it.

Short-form videos are what get you seen in front of new people and keep you showing up consistently without too much effort.

Longer videos are useful to share your expertise, you’ve got the time to share your thoughts and experience properly or tell stories, all of which build trust over time.

Podcasts are a great way of showing that you know your stuff, you can be simply chatting solo or with guests, which is excellent for in-depth conversations.

You don’t need to dive in all at once, but having a mix of the above really does make a difference.

The Reality for Most Businesses

Filming in the only corner of the office which is tidy, the lighting is sort of ok, the camera angle could be better and if you talk loudly enough then you won’t notice the echo?

And what do you say, you feel a bit awkward or do you not even get that far?

Yes, we’ve all been there and it makes it easier to put it off (again), then another few weeks or months pass by with nothing posted.

A Smarter Way to Create Content

It is so much easier to batch film your posts so you are not scrambling to film something from scratch every time.

It’s essential to have good lighting, clear audio and a clean background, making it look and feel instantly more professional without any extra effort.

Have a few ideas mapped out of what you want to say, make the time to spend a few hours filming multiple pieces of content so you can produce a full bank of content from that session, ready to use over the next few weeks or even months.
