James Wedmore’s 5 Step Video Creation Process 

 1. Your Intentions 

It is one thing to create a killer video but it's another to know exactly what you're looking to get out of the video.

James breaks down exactly how to narrow in on your video's intentions and how to get the most out of it.

 

2. Keyword Research 

It is not about making a video you think your audience is looking for, but in fact, it is all about making videos that your audience is already looking for.

Keyword research is how you will identify the keywords you want to rank for so you will know what kind of videos to create.

 

3. Execution Of Video

This is where a lot of people get overwhelmed when it comes to video but it is really not that hard!

You can create premium video content with nothing but a smartphone and a microphone. Don’t sweat the small stuff and jump in and take action to make your auto dealership compelling video content.

 

4. Upload & Optimize 

This step right here is more crucial than the actual ‘Execution” of the video.

If you have a beautiful professionally produced video and no one in your target market sees this video… What in the world does that do for your dealership?

It is important you have the video on YouTube the right way. That means you need to hone in on your video's tags, description, and title so YouTube and Google will see the video is relevant.
