Key Takeaways:
Start small and be consistent: Focus on quality over quantity. Aim for consistent posting, even if it's just once a week, to build engagement and audience familiarity.
Know your audience: Understand your ideal buyer's personality and tailor your content accordingly. Kendra outlines 4 buyer types: expressive/amiable (emotional), driver/analytical (assertive).
Reverse engineer your goals: Set clear revenue targets and work backwards to determine the number of people you need to reach and convert. Analyze video performance to optimize content.
Content is king (or queen): Infuse sales psychology into your content to trigger buying decisions. Highlight the transformation and outcomes your product/service offers, not just its features.
Data is your friend: Track your video performance and use the insights to improve future content. 100 videos is a good benchmark for making data-driven decisions.
