Even though many people know the power of creating a video for their business, there is one thing that seems to hold them back – they don't like to be on camera. Either they think that they sound weird, they don’t feel like they have a good background to shoot from, or they plain don't like the way that they look on camera. Either way, it keeps them from creating the powerful videos that they know they should have to extend their reach and keep building their audience.
Luckily, for those of you who are a bit shy in front of the camera, there are some easy options that will let you create a great video in no time.
1-Using Powerpoint and a Screen Recorder
A lot of people don't think of Powerpoint when they think of their best business tools, but it is a really simple program to use and it can help your business out tremendously. You can create a clean Powerpoint presentation that shows everything you want to say in your video.
Each slide will represent something that you want to show your audience. Whether it is a graph, bullet points, or proof of a product that you are selling, you want to make sure that each slide has a purpose in getting your message out. Once you are done, you can use a headset and screen recorder program to capture the presentation that you have just made. All you need to do is make sure the recording bar only shows the active Powerpoint slide. Then you can simply read your script as you record yourself scrolling through the slides.
2- Create an Animated Video
If you want your video to have a person in it, even if that person is not you, you might want to think about going the animated video route. When you create an animated video, you have a fun cartoon that viewers can watch while you tell them whatever you need to tell them about your services. There are many websites that will create animated videos for you, and some of them allow you to try them out for free.
3-Outsource It
The absolute best way to get what you want without dealing with any of the headache is to outsource it. Even though outsourcing is a bit more costly than your other options, it is a great way for you to get your video up and running quickly. The best part is that you can outsource everything from the video voiceover to creating the video screenshots and putting the final video together.
One thing that you should never outsource though is writing your video script. Because you are the one who knows your business and products better than anyone else, you should be the one to write the script. Even if you have someone else clean it up after it is written, it is important that the first draft of the script comes from you.
If you are looking for ways to create great videos without being in front of the camera, you are not alone. Use these easy ways to make great videos that stand out, even if you aren't in them.
