Are Your Videos Too "Salesy"? Here's Why...
Hey friends! I wanted to share a quick but crucial insight I'm noticing as you work through the 7-Day Video Challenge - especially relevant as you develop your video ideas on Day 3! 🔍 The Common Mistake I'm Seeing: Many of you are limiting yourselves by only focusing on problems that your product or service directly solves. For example, if you sell cars, you might think every video needs to be about "where to buy a good car" or "needing a car urgently." 💡 The Better Approach: Think about the REAL problems your audience faces, even when your offering isn't the specific solution. This approach: - Gives you WAY more content possibilities - Creates authentic connections (not just sales pitches) - Shows you truly understand your audience's world - Demonstrates you genuinely care about helping them 🚗 Example: If You Sell SUVs Instead of just making videos about buying an SUV from you, consider broader topics like: - What makes a good SUV versus a mediocre one - Balancing adventure features with practical daily needs - Negotiation tactics when buying any vehicle - Common misconceptions about fuel efficiency in larger vehicles ⚡ Before & After Transformation: ❌ Too Direct/Salesy: "Why you should buy an SUV from my dealership" ✅ Audience-Focused: "5 hidden costs most SUV buyers discover too late" ❌ Too Direct/Salesy: "How I can help you finance your new vehicle" ✅ Audience-Focused: "What banks don't tell you about auto loans - insider tips" 🤝 Building Relationships, Not Just Transactions This approach isn't just about creating more content—it's about becoming a trusted advisor. When you consistently provide value without always asking for something in return, you build genuine relationships with your audience. They'll remember you when they're ready to buy because you've demonstrated expertise and genuine care, not because you pushed your services in every video. 🔑 Why This Works: Your clear intro (who you are and what outcome you provide) will appear in EVERY video, naturally building curiosity about working with you. Meanwhile, your helpful content builds trust and shows you understand their world.
