Easily and Effectively Add the Immense Power of Video to Your Business! VideoCharisma  Discover Your On-Camera Star Quality! Tuesdays: January 10, 17, 24, 31, 2012 8 PM Eastern (7 CT, 6 MT, 5 PT) and Saturday: January 28, 2012 11 AM - 5 PM Eastern (10 CT, 9 MT, 8 PT) These days it takes more than a nice website and decent networking skills to get the attention of clients, customers, and the media. In today's increasingly competitive market, it even takes more than a significant Social Media Presence and a consistent Brand Message to cut through the clutter.  Today, you MUST also have the ability to Speak Eloquently, both On Stage and On-Camera about who you are, what you do and why clients should buy. Many savvy marketers - just like you -- are intrigued by video, know how important it is to their business and brand, but have been putting off diving in because it ALL seems so complicated and time consuming…  and even threatening. As the top expert in VideoCharisma, I'll teach you my unique methods so you can easily create and shoot compelling videos and upload them to the Internet so you can GET SEEN by a greater number of clients and prospects than you ever thought possible. … And that's what you're after, right?  A larger pool of Prospects and more Clients? Every one of my clients starts by saying they're too nervous or don't know what to say or how to say it, or that they hate the way they look on-camera. Sound familiar? These fears cause them to hide from the BEST marketing and branding tools that too many business owners avoid. Video MUST be part of your business-building arsenal - even if you're feeling hesitant, uncomfortable or shy. I understand these fears and hesitations better than most because I had to overcome them, too. The good news is I mastered it, my business is exploding as a result, and I am eager to help you attain "Mastery," because if I'm certain of anything, it's this: If I can do it, you can do it. Why Video and why now? For many business owners, it may come down - frankly - to knowing your competitors are seeing results from Video. You know it's something you should be doing, too. You might have even experimented with video but didn't see immediate results and were so disappointed, you gave up. I feel you. But no business owner can afford to ignore Video and to prove my point, here are some YouTube statistics that will blow your mind… It's the 2nd most important search engine. It's the 3rd most visited website. 15 minutes is the average number of minutes people spend on the site each day 45 Million home page impressions in the U.S. every day. And, here's the most astonishing of all… There are over 3 Billion YouTube views PER DAY! Plus, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn - totaling over 1 Billion users -- ALL accommodate and even encourage video! Where else will you find that big an audience? The media have also gotten on the Video bandwagon … The Harvard Business Review says today, it's less about sending messages than engaging with customers. The Wall Street Journal reports Google's BIG PLANS for YouTube (I've been actively engaged in this latest development with several celebrity clients). Businesses recognize customers want to engage with them before, during and after buying. Prospects are 72% more likely to purchase a product or service and make their buying decisions faster when video is included (University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business). No two ways about it… If you're not using Video to get your message out, you're leaving clients outside your door and money on the table… Video's skyrocketing growth and accessibility allows us to connect face-to-face (it's how we're wired). Video is washing over us like a tidal wave. Only 2 years ago, technology did not exist for non-video- pros to create great video and get it online. Today, it's here, it's easy and it looks great. Video saves tons of time because it lets you get your message across MUCH more quickly. Video allows the "real" you to shine through and connect with your audience. Video is a GREAT teaching tool: From delivering coaching and training to connecting with clients and customers to motivating your team, if you can't be there live, video is the next best thing. Video is a GREAT learning tool: There is no substitute for seeing yourself as others see you. AND Video SCARES MOST PEOPLE TO DEATH! So if you use it, you'll gain a HUGE competitive advantage! Here are just a few things you can use video for… Web Sites and Sales Pages Vlogs (video-blogs) Welcome videos Video newsletters and ezines Coaching and training programs and packages Teleseminars and Webinars Videoconferences  Internet TV CEO and Senior Leader workforce outreach Product and service demos Book promotion Keynote Speaking Services Live Events Quick video tips on Social Media sites There are a multitude of other reasons to connect with video… Congratulate clients and employees on noteworthy milestones (awards, # of years in business, etc…) Connect with event participants prior to attending live events Thank event organizers for hosting outstanding events Increase your Social Media impact Quickly record on-the-spot video testimonials Respond to inquiries using video (I just did, it immediately put me at the head of the line, and I'll show you how) Send video emails Whatever you're saying or selling, if you don't want to be left behind, you MUST learn how to present yourself on-camera. In my long career working with Oscar-winning Hollywood celebrities and other A-Listers  to promote themselves and their films, TV shows, or businesses, I have marveled at the differences in the way they look and sound on film and the way they look and sound in person. These professionals, who are very earnest and hardworking, are truly just like you and me, but they know a very important secret when it comes to video: What it takes to " love" the camera, to turn on their natural charisma when the director calls, "Action!" James Schamus, CEO, Universal/Focus Features "At Focus, the last thing in the world we want is for our extraordinary talent to feel constrained or overly-managed during their support for the films they have made, and all too often "media training" can be a code word for those constraints. But with Ruth, it's the exact opposite - Ruth honestly frees people up to feel confident and open about what they truly want to communicate, without having to worry about anyone, most importantly themselves, looking over their own shoulders." Elliot Tiber, Author, "Taking Woodstock" "When Universal/Focus Features adapted my book, "Taking Woodstock," for Ang Lee to direct, I was practically dancing on the moon. Then they informed me that I needed training on how to handle the upcoming onslaught of worldwide press/media. I didn't think I needed a handler. After all, I've been doing interviews and radio/tv shows for over 30 years. How wrong I was. They brought in the very delightful and knowledgeable Ruth Sherman to work with me. Ruth coached me on how to handle what would be awkward and embarrassing questions as well as how to present myself on TV. Her advice served me well and her guidance continues to accompany me in my nationwide tour of colleges and universities. I can handle the enormous variety of questions from both conservative audiences to the liberal fans I generally appeal to. Of course, when not onstage, I am still free to rant and rave as I love to. lol" And now, I want to share their secrets with you. Videos are actually amazingly easy to create, but won't fulfill their promise if you look bad, sound boring or your content isn't compelling. Regardless of your opinion of your own physical attributes (and - trust me - you CANNOT be objective), you can look and sound terrific on-camera if you learn some basic information and techniques, like… Equipment - Everything you need to shoot and upload video Setting & Background - Staging the perfect background and the two, simple props that enhance you and your message Lighting - I'll show you how to use what you already have because, as my celebrity clients know, lighting is the key to hiding flaws and making you look great Makeup - Exactly what to use and how much to apply to make the most of your best features (This goes for men, too!) Dress and Adornment - Colors, patterns, outfits and accessories to assure you communicate the right image Presentation - Projecting your unique charisma and presence through movement, facial expression and voice YouTube - The one, the only. We'll spend a lot of time getting you set up and comfy because with 3 Billion views per DAY it cannot be ignored. AND, OF COURSE… CONTENT - You can have all the above, but if your words don't move people, don't inspire them to take action, it's all useless. I will show you some simple formulas that tap into the extensive knowledge you already have and that your stakeholders want and need. Here is what you can expect from me and from VideoCharisma: Each evening session is 75 minutes. The Saturday session is 6 hours during which you'll shoot and upload video. We'll be online together and you will all see me, live, so I can demonstrate various VideoCharisma techniques. We'll use the chat feature to communicate in real time. We'll also have a private, by-invitation-only, Facebook page where we can continue meeting, sharing, helping, and learning from each other. Here is what I expect from you and what you'll need to fully participate in and benefit from VideoCharisma: High speed Internet connection Ability to watch and hear video on your computer Latest version of Adobe Flash Player Compatible browser (check for the latest version of your browser) You will have to be at a computer - this isn't something you can benefit from by calling in from the road Webcam or other video camera that you know how to use, including how to connect it to your computer to upload videos. AND PLEASE don't expect to just sit there passively and take it all in. Video - like any other type of speaking and presenting - is LEARN-BY-DOING. You cannot get comfortable on-camera or get better at it unless you do it, so you'll have to be ready to TAKE THE VIDEO PLUNGE! So, there will be homework assignments where you will be required to shoot videos. AND, in case the dog eats your homework, the Saturday all-day session is designed to help you do just that… a 6-hour slot reserved to shoot video.
