Transcript of Why your business should be on TikTok. EP010 “The Marketing Hub”
Using TikTok to talk to your audience
1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:01,251
Using Tik
2
00:00:01,251 –> 00:00:03,128
Tok to talk to your audience
3
00:00:03,128 –> 00:00:04,671
is what a lot of businesses
4
00:00:04,671 –> 00:00:06,423
are now thinking about.
5
00:00:06,423 –> 00:00:08,258
And I’m delighted to say
6
00:00:08,258 –> 00:00:09,009
that we have
7
00:00:09,009 –> 00:00:11,136
somebody who is on Tik Tok
8
00:00:11,428 –> 00:00:12,637
and is producing
9
00:00:12,637 –> 00:00:13,555
great content.
10
00:00:13,555 –> 00:00:15,056
Leah Barbour,
11
00:00:15,056 –> 00:00:16,766
to talk to us on today’s
12
00:00:16,766 –> 00:00:18,268
Marketing Hub.
13
00:00:18,268 –> 00:00:19,269
I came across Leah’s
14
00:00:19,269 –> 00:00:20,645
content on Tik
15
00:00:20,645 –> 00:00:20,979
Tok, and
16
00:00:20,979 –> 00:00:22,355
I was really impressed.
17
00:00:22,355 –> 00:00:23,148
I was just really impressed
18
00:00:23,148 –> 00:00:24,399
to see an Irish person
19
00:00:24,399 –> 00:00:25,108
on there,
20
00:00:25,108 –> 00:00:26,151
like really producing
21
00:00:26,151 –> 00:00:28,236
great content and,
22
00:00:28,236 –> 00:00:29,612
it was in my area,
23
00:00:29,612 –> 00:00:31,281
so, I was learning from
24
00:00:31,281 –> 00:00:32,782
there as well.
25
00:00:33,366 –> 00:00:34,743
And I was also impressed
26
00:00:34,743 –> 00:00:36,536
with the quality of her video
27
00:00:36,536 –> 00:00:38,371
production for her business.
28
00:00:38,371 –> 00:00:40,165
She is the owner, founder
29
00:00:40,165 –> 00:00:41,875
of Penny Production,
30
00:00:41,875 –> 00:00:43,043
is a qualified
31
00:00:43,043 –> 00:00:43,793
and experienced
32
00:00:43,793 –> 00:00:45,128
professional videographer
33
00:00:45,128 –> 00:00:46,880
and motion graphics designer.
34
00:00:46,880 –> 00:00:48,381
And as she says herself,
35
00:00:48,381 –> 00:00:49,507
the creative side
36
00:00:49,507 –> 00:00:51,926
is all natural.
37
00:00:51,926 –> 00:00:52,552
So, she’s been doing that
38
00:00:52,552 –> 00:00:54,054
for seven years now.
39
00:00:54,054 –> 00:00:55,138
And one day
40
00:00:55,138 –> 00:00:56,890
I hope we can collaborate
41
00:00:56,890 –> 00:00:58,516
So, hi Leah.
42
00:00:58,516 –> 00:00:59,059
Hi, Paul.
43
00:00:59,059 –> 00:01:00,935
Thanks for inviting me on.
44
00:01:00,935 –> 00:01:02,437
I’m very excited.
45
00:01:02,520 –> 00:01:03,855
Leah great to have you on.
46
00:01:03,855 –> 00:01:05,106
And it’s great to,
47
00:01:05,106 –> 00:01:05,398
you know,
48
00:01:05,398 –> 00:01:06,149
to develop
49
00:01:06,149 –> 00:01:06,524
a bit
50
00:01:06,524 –> 00:01:07,734
more of a community
51
00:01:07,734 –> 00:01:09,235
of video producers.
52
00:01:09,235 –> 00:01:11,112
And content producers,
53
00:01:11,112 –> 00:01:12,614
particularly in
54
00:01:12,614 –> 00:01:13,490
Ireland as well.
55
00:01:14,491 –> 00:01:15,366
Absolutely.
56
00:01:15,366 –> 00:01:16,743
And abroad as well.
57
00:01:16,743 –> 00:01:18,495
So, Leah
58
00:01:18,495 –> 00:01:19,913
I suppose
59
00:01:19,913 –> 00:01:22,248
we get straight into kind of,
60
00:01:22,499 –> 00:01:23,041
you know,
61
00:01:23,041 –> 00:01:24,292
What’s your area
62
00:01:24,292 –> 00:01:26,002
of expertise, right?
63
00:01:26,002 –> 00:01:28,880
And so, like I’m
64
00:01:28,880 –> 00:01:29,547
dealing with a lot
65
00:01:29,547 –> 00:01:30,799
of businesses
66
00:01:30,799 –> 00:01:32,133
and, you know,
67
00:01:32,133 –> 00:01:32,634
They
68
00:01:32,634 –> 00:01:33,802
think that they know
69
00:01:33,802 –> 00:01:35,887
they have to be on social.
70
00:01:35,887 –> 00:01:37,680
When I mentioned Tik Tok,
71
00:01:37,680 –> 00:01:39,641
They’re like,
72
00:01:39,641 –> 00:01:41,893
no, I’m still on Facebook.
73
00:01:41,893 –> 00:01:43,645
But in
74
00:01:43,645 –> 00:01:45,855
in your opinion in general,
why should businesses be on Tik Tok?
75
00:01:45,855 –> 00:01:46,523
why should
76
00:01:46,523 –> 00:01:50,485
businesses be on Tik Tok?
77
00:01:50,485 –> 00:01:52,987
I think the reach
78
00:01:52,987 –> 00:01:53,863
and the way
79
00:01:53,863 –> 00:01:55,240
that Tik Tok works,
80
00:01:55,240 –> 00:01:55,740
everyone talks
81
00:01:55,740 –> 00:01:56,616
about algorithms
82
00:01:56,616 –> 00:01:57,867
and stuff, but
83
00:01:57,867 –> 00:01:59,869
Tik Tok has a very unique way
84
00:01:59,869 –> 00:02:01,663
of
85
00:02:01,663 –> 00:02:02,914
pushing out their content.
86
00:02:02,914 –> 00:02:05,416
I’m not sure the technical
87
00:02:05,416 –> 00:02:06,000
like the
88
00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:07,252
technicalities of it,
89
00:02:07,252 –> 00:02:08,002
but I do know
90
00:02:08,002 –> 00:02:10,130
that it does allow for
91
00:02:10,547 –> 00:02:11,756
so many more people
92
00:02:11,756 –> 00:02:12,799
to see your content
93
00:02:12,799 –> 00:02:13,258
because it’s
94
00:02:13,258 –> 00:02:14,384
just the way it filters
95
00:02:14,384 –> 00:02:16,386
your content out to be seen.
96
00:02:16,386 –> 00:02:19,639
So, I think it’s, a
97
00:02:19,639 –> 00:02:20,390
kind of a,
98
00:02:21,391 –> 00:02:22,517
there’s no lose,
99
00:02:22,517 –> 00:02:24,269
lose with Tik Tok.
100
00:02:24,269 –> 00:02:24,769
I think
101
00:02:24,769 –> 00:02:25,645
you produce content
102
00:02:25,645 –> 00:02:26,855
you put it out there,
103
00:02:26,855 –> 00:02:27,730
you have a great chance
104
00:02:27,730 –> 00:02:29,232
of lots of people seeing it.
why not go on Tik Tok?
105
00:02:29,232 –> 00:02:31,901
So why not go on Tik Tok?
106
00:02:31,901 –> 00:02:33,153
Especially since
107
00:02:33,153 –> 00:02:34,237
like a lot of people
108
00:02:34,237 –> 00:02:35,488
are already on Instagram
109
00:02:35,488 –> 00:02:36,489
and they’re kind of
110
00:02:36,489 –> 00:02:37,532
migrating there
111
00:02:37,532 –> 00:02:39,159
to Tik Tok a little bit more
112
00:02:39,159 –> 00:02:41,035
because of Instagram.
113
00:02:41,035 –> 00:02:41,619
Trying to
114
00:02:41,619 –> 00:02:42,620
copy inverted
115
00:02:42,620 –> 00:02:45,498
commas are trying to kind of
116
00:02:45,498 –> 00:02:47,876
do similar things to
117
00:02:47,876 –> 00:02:48,877
what Tik Tok is doing
118
00:02:48,877 –> 00:02:50,003
because Tik Tok has become
119
00:02:50,003 –> 00:02:52,005
so far so popular.
120
00:02:52,005 –> 00:02:53,423
And so, for me,
121
00:02:53,423 –> 00:02:55,008
I think it’s a,
122
00:02:55,008 –> 00:02:57,177
why not go on Tik Tok
123
00:02:57,177 –> 00:02:58,011
if you’re already
124
00:02:58,011 –> 00:02:58,928
producing content
125
00:02:58,928 –> 00:03:00,138
for the likes of Facebook
126
00:03:00,138 –> 00:03:01,181
or Instagram or like that,
127
00:03:01,181 –> 00:03:02,265
why not just post it on
Tik Tok and see
128
00:03:02,265 –> 00:03:03,266
Tik Tok and see?
129
00:03:04,684 –> 00:03:07,145
I think there’s a lot of
130
00:03:07,687 –> 00:03:09,230
flexibility and trial
131
00:03:09,230 –> 00:03:10,023
and error.
132
00:03:10,023 –> 00:03:12,233
There’s a lot of.
133
00:03:12,233 –> 00:03:12,483
Yeah.
134
00:03:12,483 –> 00:03:13,234
There’s just a lot of
135
00:03:13,234 –> 00:03:14,611
you can just have fun
136
00:03:14,611 –> 00:03:14,903
with this
137
00:03:14,903 –> 00:03:16,112
and kind of test out
138
00:03:16,112 –> 00:03:16,654
what works
139
00:03:16,654 –> 00:03:17,739
and what doesn’t and stuff
140
00:03:17,739 –> 00:03:17,989
like that.
141
00:03:17,989 –> 00:03:19,157
So, it’s a
142
00:03:19,157 –> 00:03:19,741
why not,
143
00:03:19,741 –> 00:03:20,909
why not put your content up,
144
00:03:20,909 –> 00:03:22,243
There’s kind of thing. Yeah.
145
00:03:22,243 –> 00:03:22,994
And just
146
00:03:22,994 –> 00:03:24,120
as a follow on to that,
147
00:03:24,120 –> 00:03:24,996
I suppose
148
00:03:24,996 –> 00:03:26,414
like
149
00:03:26,414 –> 00:03:27,624
I think for people
150
00:03:27,624 –> 00:03:28,499
who aren’t on it, right?
151
00:03:28,499 –> 00:03:29,167
And for businesses
152
00:03:29,167 –> 00:03:30,501
that aren’t on it.
153
00:03:30,501 –> 00:03:31,878
They,
154
00:03:31,878 –> 00:03:32,378
might have
155
00:03:32,378 –> 00:03:33,254
a misconception
156
00:03:33,254 –> 00:03:36,382
about like the volume
157
00:03:36,382 –> 00:03:37,508
of audience
158
00:03:37,508 –> 00:03:39,135
maybe in their targets
159
00:03:39,135 –> 00:03:39,802
that are there.
160
00:03:39,802 –> 00:03:40,386
Could you
161
00:03:40,386 –> 00:03:41,512
kind of speak to that?
162
00:03:41,512 –> 00:03:42,680
Like just for people
163
00:03:42,680 –> 00:03:43,681
that don’t know anything
164
00:03:43,681 –> 00:03:44,641
really about Tik Tok
165
00:03:46,434 –> 00:03:47,185
Yeah.
166
00:03:47,185 –> 00:03:49,729
Like what I’ve noticed is
167
00:03:49,979 –> 00:03:52,523
there are so many avenues
168
00:03:52,649 –> 00:03:53,858
to Tik Tok.
169
00:03:53,858 –> 00:03:55,235
Like there’s
170
00:03:55,235 –> 00:03:56,986
my avenue that I fall under.
171
00:03:56,986 –> 00:03:58,279
I suppose as film talk,
172
00:03:58,279 –> 00:03:59,364
everyone goes hashtag
173
00:03:59,364 –> 00:04:00,281
film talk.
174
00:04:00,281 –> 00:04:02,033
So, there is a lot of,
175
00:04:02,033 –> 00:04:03,660
there is just a lot of niches
176
00:04:03,660 –> 00:04:04,244
and avenues
177
00:04:04,244 –> 00:04:05,245
that can sit
178
00:04:05,245 –> 00:04:08,498
and be in Tik Tok. That
179
00:04:08,915 –> 00:04:09,540
Tik Tok,
180
00:04:09,540 –> 00:04:11,167
whatever magic
181
00:04:11,167 –> 00:04:12,502
it’s kind of made of
182
00:04:12,502 –> 00:04:13,378
will filter
183
00:04:13,378 –> 00:04:15,255
you the content that
184
00:04:15,255 –> 00:04:16,381
it thinks you need
185
00:04:16,381 –> 00:04:17,257
or thinks that
186
00:04:17,257 –> 00:04:18,508
you would be interested in.
187
00:04:18,508 –> 00:04:19,384
Now, there is a lot
188
00:04:19,384 –> 00:04:20,301
of random stuff
189
00:04:20,301 –> 00:04:22,387
in between that,
190
00:04:22,679 –> 00:04:24,514
but you find yourself.
191
00:04:24,514 –> 00:04:25,014
Tik Tok
192
00:04:25,014 –> 00:04:25,765
seems to like know
193
00:04:25,765 –> 00:04:26,891
you better than you do
194
00:04:26,891 –> 00:04:27,558
for some reason
195
00:04:27,558 –> 00:04:29,143
because I get a lot of
196
00:04:29,143 –> 00:04:29,894
like there’s
197
00:04:29,894 –> 00:04:30,645
an Irish guy
198
00:04:30,645 –> 00:04:31,771
that comes up online
199
00:04:31,771 –> 00:04:33,982
and he’s like a carpenter.
200
00:04:33,982 –> 00:04:35,483
He’s on mine as well. Yeah
201
00:04:35,483 –> 00:04:36,651
I have no interest
202
00:04:36,651 –> 00:04:37,986
in carpentry,
203
00:04:37,986 –> 00:04:39,404
but every time he comes
204
00:04:39,404 –> 00:04:41,281
on, I’m kind of fascinated
205
00:04:41,281 –> 00:04:42,615
by how he, like, goes
206
00:04:42,615 –> 00:04:43,992
about like sharpening tools
207
00:04:43,992 –> 00:04:45,118
and refurbishing tools
208
00:04:45,118 –> 00:04:46,369
and making chairs.
209
00:04:46,369 –> 00:04:47,161
And then after
210
00:04:47,161 –> 00:04:48,746
I watch his video, I’m like,
211
00:04:48,746 –> 00:04:50,873
Oh, like what I do. Yeah.
212
00:04:50,915 –> 00:04:53,376
So, I think there are just
213
00:04:53,376 –> 00:04:54,002
a lot of niches
214
00:04:54,002 –> 00:04:55,044
and a lot of avenues
215
00:04:55,044 –> 00:04:55,878
within Tik Tok.
216
00:04:55,878 –> 00:04:57,297
I know at first
217
00:04:57,297 –> 00:04:58,131
everyone’s like,
218
00:04:58,131 –> 00:04:59,507
Oh, it’s just
219
00:04:59,507 –> 00:05:01,134
people recreating dances
220
00:05:01,134 –> 00:05:02,302
and lip syncs,
221
00:05:02,302 –> 00:05:04,262
and it still kind of is
222
00:05:04,262 –> 00:05:05,805
but it has made room
223
00:05:05,805 –> 00:05:07,765
for so many other niches
224
00:05:07,765 –> 00:05:08,641
to be able to live
225
00:05:08,641 –> 00:05:09,392
on the platform
226
00:05:09,392 –> 00:05:10,935
and do well
227
00:05:10,935 –> 00:05:13,354
on the platform. So, I think
228
00:05:14,605 –> 00:05:15,398
there’s always
229
00:05:15,398 –> 00:05:15,773
going to
230
00:05:15,773 –> 00:05:16,399
be someone
231
00:05:16,399 –> 00:05:17,108
that’s interested
232
00:05:17,108 –> 00:05:18,776
in your content.
233
00:05:18,776 –> 00:05:19,027
Yeah.
234
00:05:19,027 –> 00:05:19,777
There are obviously
235
00:05:19,777 –> 00:05:20,737
always going to be people
236
00:05:20,737 –> 00:05:21,612
that are not interested
237
00:05:21,612 –> 00:05:22,155
in your content,
238
00:05:22,155 –> 00:05:23,781
but the way Tik Tok works,
239
00:05:23,781 –> 00:05:25,366
and as I said, it’s
240
00:05:25,366 –> 00:05:27,160
a magical spice
241
00:05:27,160 –> 00:05:28,786
that it has in its algorithm.
242
00:05:28,786 –> 00:05:30,371
It seems to know where
243
00:05:30,371 –> 00:05:31,289
to put the content
244
00:05:31,289 –> 00:05:32,415
and who would be interested
245
00:05:32,415 –> 00:05:33,041
in it.
246
00:05:33,875 –> 00:05:34,667
And stuff like that.
247
00:05:34,667 –> 00:05:36,127
Yeah, exactly.
248
00:05:36,127 –> 00:05:37,128
And like, you know,
249
00:05:37,128 –> 00:05:38,046
because it’s not just
250
00:05:38,046 –> 00:05:39,672
all Lip-synching and Kids.
251
00:05:39,672 –> 00:05:40,131
Yeah, right.
252
00:05:40,131 –> 00:05:41,507
So, I think that’s
253
00:05:41,883 –> 00:05:42,300
and I think
254
00:05:42,300 –> 00:05:43,885
the more you post on Tik Tok,
255
00:05:43,885 –> 00:05:45,303
the more Tik Tok learns.
256
00:05:45,303 –> 00:05:45,678
Okay,
257
00:05:45,678 –> 00:05:46,888
this is the kind of content
258
00:05:46,888 –> 00:05:47,638
that you’re putting out
259
00:05:47,638 –> 00:05:48,890
as regularly.
260
00:05:48,890 –> 00:05:50,016
Let’s try it here.
261
00:05:50,016 –> 00:05:50,516
Let’s try
262
00:05:50,516 –> 00:05:53,061
it there and see where it
263
00:05:53,061 –> 00:05:54,020
picks up better.
264
00:05:54,020 –> 00:05:54,896
So, I think, yeah,
265
00:05:54,896 –> 00:05:56,272
I think the more you put
266
00:05:56,272 –> 00:05:57,482
up, the,
267
00:05:57,482 –> 00:05:58,358
more people
268
00:05:58,358 –> 00:05:59,025
will gravitate
269
00:05:59,025 –> 00:06:00,026
towards your stuff.
270
00:06:00,026 –> 00:06:01,110
Okay. Very good.
271
00:06:01,110 –> 00:06:01,736
Very good. Yeah.
272
00:06:01,736 –> 00:06:02,362
I bet
273
00:06:02,362 –> 00:06:03,905
that young Irish guy,
274
00:06:03,905 –> 00:06:04,655
I’ve watched a lot of
275
00:06:04,655 –> 00:06:06,115
his videos as well
276
00:06:06,115 –> 00:06:07,408
because he’s really good
277
00:06:07,408 –> 00:06:08,493
at what he does.
278
00:06:08,493 –> 00:06:10,119
Yeah. And he’s very Irish.
279
00:06:10,119 –> 00:06:11,037
I don’t know where he’s even
280
00:06:11,037 –> 00:06:11,746
from, actually.
281
00:06:12,747 –> 00:06:13,998
Heavy accent or something,
282
00:06:13,998 –> 00:06:14,999
so, I think it could be.
283
00:06:14,999 –> 00:06:16,125
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
284
00:06:16,125 –> 00:06:16,876
But I don’t know,
285
00:06:16,876 –> 00:06:17,794
I’m just like,
286
00:06:17,794 –> 00:06:19,128
oh, here he is again.
287
00:06:19,128 –> 00:06:20,171
I watched it and I’m like,
288
00:06:20,171 –> 00:06:21,506
I have no interest
289
00:06:21,506 –> 00:06:22,131
in carpentry.
290
00:06:22,131 –> 00:06:22,882
Here, and so
291
00:06:22,882 –> 00:06:23,424
but I just find
292
00:06:23,424 –> 00:06:24,425
its kind of fascinating
293
00:06:24,425 –> 00:06:25,385
to see what he does,
294
00:06:25,385 –> 00:06:26,761
and he uses
295
00:06:26,761 –> 00:06:29,680
very old school techniques
296
00:06:29,680 –> 00:06:30,390
and stuff like that.
297
00:06:30,390 –> 00:06:31,766
So, it’s kind of interesting.
298
00:06:31,766 –> 00:06:32,183
Yeah.
299
00:06:32,183 –> 00:06:33,184
It’s, it’s one of those ones.
300
00:06:33,184 –> 00:06:33,643
It’s just
301
00:06:33,643 –> 00:06:34,268
you got to watch it
302
00:06:34,268 –> 00:06:35,395
to the end nearly.
303
00:06:35,395 –> 00:06:38,272
And so,
304
00:06:38,272 –> 00:06:40,358
from your experience, right?
305
00:06:40,900 –> 00:06:41,651
And this is kind of
306
00:06:41,651 –> 00:06:42,276
it’s kind of layered
307
00:06:42,276 –> 00:06:43,277
into the last question,
308
00:06:43,277 –> 00:06:45,405
but it’s a bit more specific.
309
00:06:45,405 –> 00:06:45,905
What are
310
00:06:45,905 –> 00:06:46,864
the benefits
311
00:06:46,864 –> 00:06:48,366
you’ve seen from being
312
00:06:48,366 –> 00:06:49,909
on Tik Tok for your business?
313
00:06:51,035 –> 00:06:52,412
Well, you’re
314
00:06:52,412 –> 00:06:52,745
a prime
315
00:06:52,745 –> 00:06:53,538
example, actually,
316
00:06:53,538 –> 00:06:55,123
because your first email
317
00:06:55,123 –> 00:06:55,748
is like,
318
00:06:55,748 –> 00:06:56,499
oh hi,
319
00:06:56,499 –> 00:06:58,000
I came across you on Tik Tok.
320
00:06:58,000 –> 00:07:00,253
So that’s a perfect example.
321
00:07:00,253 –> 00:07:01,379
And I’ve actually gotten
322
00:07:01,379 –> 00:07:02,130
a few of those kind
323
00:07:02,130 –> 00:07:03,005
of emails.
324
00:07:03,005 –> 00:07:04,549
Not,
325
00:07:04,549 –> 00:07:05,633
not a huge amount,
326
00:07:05,633 –> 00:07:07,552
but more than that,
327
00:07:07,552 –> 00:07:08,386
are more there
328
00:07:08,386 –> 00:07:09,387
than I would have had
329
00:07:09,387 –> 00:07:09,887
if I had not
330
00:07:09,887 –> 00:07:11,889
gone on to Tik Tok.
331
00:07:11,931 –> 00:07:12,682
So, I’ve definitely
332
00:07:12,682 –> 00:07:14,308
had a lot of people
333
00:07:14,308 –> 00:07:16,060
kind of reach out over email
334
00:07:16,060 –> 00:07:17,437
or have come to my…
335
00:07:17,437 –> 00:07:18,980
because on Tik Tok
336
00:07:18,980 –> 00:07:20,273
you can only private message
337
00:07:20,273 –> 00:07:20,606
someone
338
00:07:20,606 –> 00:07:20,857
if you’re
339
00:07:20,857 –> 00:07:22,400
both following each other.
340
00:07:22,400 –> 00:07:23,109
So, you don’t just
341
00:07:23,109 –> 00:07:24,902
get random DMS,
342
00:07:24,902 –> 00:07:25,361
which I think
343
00:07:25,361 –> 00:07:25,903
is kind of good.
344
00:07:25,903 –> 00:07:26,863
It kind of it
345
00:07:26,863 –> 00:07:28,239
just because
346
00:07:28,239 –> 00:07:29,365
there is a lot
347
00:07:29,365 –> 00:07:31,159
more interaction on Tik Tok.
348
00:07:31,159 –> 00:07:32,869
I find than Instagram,
349
00:07:32,869 –> 00:07:33,744
so, it just allows
350
00:07:33,744 –> 00:07:34,620
unless you’re following them,
351
00:07:34,620 –> 00:07:35,371
they can’t message you,
352
00:07:35,371 –> 00:07:35,788
but they can
353
00:07:35,788 –> 00:07:36,497
comment on things.
354
00:07:36,497 –> 00:07:38,624
So, um, yeah.
355
00:07:38,624 –> 00:07:39,625
So, it’s,
356
00:07:39,625 –> 00:07:40,668
gotten me
357
00:07:40,668 –> 00:07:42,753
a little bit of work as well.
358
00:07:42,753 –> 00:07:43,254
It’s definitely
359
00:07:43,254 –> 00:07:44,881
gotten me to connect
360
00:07:44,881 –> 00:07:46,257
with other creators,
361
00:07:46,257 –> 00:07:46,549
as you said,
362
00:07:46,549 –> 00:07:47,383
kind of around the world
363
00:07:47,383 –> 00:07:47,633
Even,
364
00:07:47,633 –> 00:07:49,510
they’re Irish creators
365
00:07:49,510 –> 00:07:53,139
and that I have communicated
366
00:07:53,139 –> 00:07:54,265
a lot with now
367
00:07:54,265 –> 00:07:55,641
and I’ve become kind of
368
00:07:55,641 –> 00:07:57,059
social media friends
369
00:07:58,019 –> 00:07:59,020
and supporting each
370
00:07:59,020 –> 00:07:59,645
other and stuff like that.
371
00:07:59,645 –> 00:08:00,605
So, I’ve definitely
372
00:08:00,605 –> 00:08:02,231
I’ve gotten some more,
373
00:08:02,231 –> 00:08:04,734
a better network of creators
374
00:08:04,734 –> 00:08:05,735
that are in my field
375
00:08:05,735 –> 00:08:07,487
that understand what it is
376
00:08:07,487 –> 00:08:08,029
to be
377
00:08:08,029 –> 00:08:08,613
a videographer
378
00:08:08,613 –> 00:08:09,489
and a creator and stuff
379
00:08:09,489 –> 00:08:10,114
Like that.
380
00:08:10,114 –> 00:08:12,492
And then I’ve also
381
00:08:12,783 –> 00:08:14,494
developed some, other
382
00:08:14,494 –> 00:08:15,620
networking connections
383
00:08:15,620 –> 00:08:17,622
like yourself and,
384
00:08:18,289 –> 00:08:18,998
other businesses
385
00:08:18,998 –> 00:08:19,916
here with in Cork
386
00:08:19,916 –> 00:08:20,500
or just around
387
00:08:20,500 –> 00:08:21,792
Ireland that have got
388
00:08:21,792 –> 00:08:23,002
their first email.
389
00:08:23,002 –> 00:08:25,254
I saw your content on Tik Tok.
390
00:08:25,630 –> 00:08:27,006
Looks great
391
00:08:27,006 –> 00:08:27,507
Love to work with you
392
00:08:27,507 –> 00:08:28,257
kind of thing.
393
00:08:28,257 –> 00:08:30,009
So, I have seen
394
00:08:30,009 –> 00:08:31,010
seeing the benefit there.
395
00:08:31,010 –> 00:08:33,262
It wasn’t straight away,
396
00:08:33,554 –> 00:08:35,181
but it has definitely
397
00:08:35,181 –> 00:08:35,890
in the last month
398
00:08:35,890 –> 00:08:36,807
or two especially.
399
00:08:36,807 –> 00:08:37,892
It really has kind of
400
00:08:37,892 –> 00:08:39,185
come to it
401
00:08:39,185 –> 00:08:40,561
creating better
402
00:08:40,561 –> 00:08:42,230
networking connections
403
00:08:42,230 –> 00:08:43,356
some actual business
404
00:08:43,356 –> 00:08:44,106
and stuff like that.
405
00:08:44,106 –> 00:08:46,734
And, and yeah. Yeah, no,
406
00:08:47,735 –> 00:08:48,236
that’s,
407
00:08:48,236 –> 00:08:49,362
exactly
408
00:08:49,362 –> 00:08:50,154
what you want to hear
409
00:08:50,154 –> 00:08:51,364
from a business
410
00:08:51,364 –> 00:08:52,490
because you know,
411
00:08:52,490 –> 00:08:53,616
I think a lot of businesses
412
00:08:53,616 –> 00:08:54,367
it’s
413
00:08:54,367 –> 00:08:55,117
about putting in
414
00:08:55,117 –> 00:08:55,868
the hard yards.
415
00:08:55,868 –> 00:08:56,244
So, I think
416
00:08:56,244 –> 00:08:57,370
and like I’ve suffered
417
00:08:57,370 –> 00:08:58,246
from that in the past
418
00:08:58,246 –> 00:08:59,163
As well. I’m
419
00:08:59,163 –> 00:09:00,498
trying to get better on,
420
00:09:00,498 –> 00:09:01,499
on my home platform
421
00:09:01,499 –> 00:09:01,999
which is LinkedIn,
422
00:09:01,999 –> 00:09:03,125
but my secondary platform
423
00:09:03,125 –> 00:09:03,793
is now going to be tik
424
00:09:03,793 –> 00:09:04,627
tok as well.
425
00:09:04,627 –> 00:09:05,920
So, I just have to get,
426
00:09:05,920 –> 00:09:06,879
I just have to get used
427
00:09:06,879 –> 00:09:07,380
to putting
428
00:09:07,380 –> 00:09:08,297
a put-up stuff
429
00:09:08,297 –> 00:09:09,257
that people want to view
430
00:09:09,257 –> 00:09:10,675
more as well
431
00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:13,386
So,
432
00:09:14,887 –> 00:09:16,931
to get a following.
433
00:09:16,931 –> 00:09:17,181
Right?
434
00:09:17,181 –> 00:09:18,140
So, to get into the nitty
435
00:09:18,140 –> 00:09:19,141
gritty of it a little bit.
436
00:09:19,141 –> 00:09:19,767
Right,
437
00:09:20,142 –> 00:09:21,185
to get a following
438
00:09:21,185 –> 00:09:23,479
and be effective on Tik Tok,
439
00:09:23,980 –> 00:09:26,649
what do businesses need to do
440
00:09:27,858 –> 00:09:29,235
posting and scheduling?
441
00:09:29,235 –> 00:09:30,236
And this is a two parter
442
00:09:30,236 –> 00:09:31,279
because we talk about posting
443
00:09:31,279 –> 00:09:32,613
and scheduling first
444
00:09:32,613 –> 00:09:33,489
and then we’ll talk about
445
00:09:33,489 –> 00:09:34,991
what works and what doesn’t.
446
00:09:34,991 –> 00:09:35,741
Content wise.
447
00:09:35,741 –> 00:09:36,367
So, let’s
448
00:09:36,367 –> 00:09:37,743
just talk about,
449
00:09:37,868 –> 00:09:38,744
you know,
450
00:09:39,161 –> 00:09:40,496
time and not time,
451
00:09:40,496 –> 00:09:40,871
but like,
452
00:09:40,871 –> 00:09:42,790
you know, how often and,
453
00:09:42,790 –> 00:09:44,750
and what time’s the day
454
00:09:44,750 –> 00:09:45,501
and what have you
455
00:09:45,501 –> 00:09:46,877
what have you learnt?
456
00:09:46,877 –> 00:09:47,503
Mm hmm.
457
00:09:48,629 –> 00:09:49,547
So, a word
458
00:09:49,547 –> 00:09:50,423
that you probably hear
459
00:09:50,423 –> 00:09:52,383
a lot is consistency.
460
00:09:52,383 –> 00:09:55,261
And I didn’t
461
00:09:55,261 –> 00:09:57,179
see how true that word was
462
00:09:57,179 –> 00:09:57,763
until I kind
463
00:09:57,763 –> 00:09:59,432
of started Tik Tok,
464
00:09:59,765 –> 00:10:01,517
because I just on a whim
465
00:10:01,517 –> 00:10:03,644
put up one video,
466
00:10:03,644 –> 00:10:04,854
one night
467
00:10:04,854 –> 00:10:06,606
because I’d heard an audio.
468
00:10:06,606 –> 00:10:09,358
I’m a big gamer
469
00:10:09,483 –> 00:10:10,526
so, I put up an audio
470
00:10:10,526 –> 00:10:11,485
because it was like
471
00:10:11,485 –> 00:10:12,486
something like, oh,
472
00:10:12,486 –> 00:10:13,237
you know that new game
473
00:10:13,237 –> 00:10:14,113
that’s coming out,
474
00:10:14,113 –> 00:10:14,655
you won’t,
475
00:10:14,655 –> 00:10:15,364
hear from me
476
00:10:15,364 –> 00:10:16,240
for a week or something.
477
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:16,991
So, I was kind of
478
00:10:16,991 –> 00:10:17,366
put it
479
00:10:17,366 –> 00:10:18,034
at the point of view
480
00:10:18,034 –> 00:10:19,535
of my niche of me telling my,
481
00:10:19,535 –> 00:10:20,995
my clients
482
00:10:20,995 –> 00:10:21,871
I’m going to be
483
00:10:21,871 –> 00:10:22,747
still playing this game,
484
00:10:22,747 –> 00:10:23,539
so don’t get on to me
485
00:10:23,539 –> 00:10:24,248
kind of thing.
486
00:10:24,248 –> 00:10:25,124
And it did really well.
487
00:10:25,124 –> 00:10:26,167
So, I was kind of like,
488
00:10:26,167 –> 00:10:27,501
Okay, I’ll post
489
00:10:27,501 –> 00:10:28,127
another video.
490
00:10:28,127 –> 00:10:30,129
So, it kind of started
491
00:10:30,129 –> 00:10:31,005
in terms of how
492
00:10:31,005 –> 00:10:32,757
often did I start posting?
493
00:10:34,008 –> 00:10:34,634
I actually started
494
00:10:34,634 –> 00:10:35,009
posting, I
495
00:10:35,009 –> 00:10:37,011
think maybe one video day
496
00:10:37,011 –> 00:10:38,429
for like
497
00:10:38,763 –> 00:10:41,932
close to like three months.
498
00:10:42,391 –> 00:10:42,892
There might have been
499
00:10:42,892 –> 00:10:43,768
a few days
500
00:10:43,768 –> 00:10:46,145
here or there that I missed.
501
00:10:46,145 –> 00:10:48,230
But yeah, it was consistently
502
00:10:48,230 –> 00:10:50,358
pretty much one video a day
503
00:10:50,358 –> 00:10:51,233
for three months
504
00:10:51,233 –> 00:10:53,736
and it was kind of a bit of a
505
00:10:54,862 –> 00:10:57,490
then indoor and dopamine
506
00:10:57,615 –> 00:10:58,866
hit kind of.
507
00:10:58,866 –> 00:11:00,743
Yeah, because I saw it.
508
00:11:00,743 –> 00:11:01,744
My video is doing well
509
00:11:01,744 –> 00:11:03,245
and I’d like to say
510
00:11:03,245 –> 00:11:04,538
I fully understood
511
00:11:04,538 –> 00:11:05,623
why they were doing well,
512
00:11:05,623 –> 00:11:08,042
but they, were
513
00:11:08,292 –> 00:11:10,670
so, I just kept posting,
514
00:11:11,003 –> 00:11:12,171
seeing different audios,
515
00:11:12,171 –> 00:11:14,382
doing lip syncs and stuff
516
00:11:14,382 –> 00:11:15,549
and just kind of
517
00:11:15,549 –> 00:11:17,551
bringing in my niche and,
518
00:11:17,551 –> 00:11:19,512
and my area of expertise
519
00:11:19,512 –> 00:11:21,138
into it.
520
00:11:21,555 –> 00:11:22,431
And people
521
00:11:22,431 –> 00:11:23,391
seem to really like it.
522
00:11:23,391 –> 00:11:24,183
So, I kept posting.
523
00:11:24,183 –> 00:11:25,768
So, I went from,
524
00:11:25,768 –> 00:11:26,894
I think
525
00:11:26,894 –> 00:11:28,229
when I first started posting
526
00:11:28,229 –> 00:11:30,523
I was at like 96 followers
527
00:11:31,774 –> 00:11:32,274
and in three
528
00:11:32,274 –> 00:11:33,859
months I got to 10,000.
529
00:11:33,859 –> 00:11:35,986
So that was like
530
00:11:35,986 –> 00:11:36,904
kind of blew my mind
531
00:11:36,904 –> 00:11:37,988
because the fact
532
00:11:37,988 –> 00:11:38,489
that I had been on
533
00:11:38,489 –> 00:11:40,116
Instagram for
534
00:11:40,491 –> 00:11:41,534
how long has been since
535
00:11:41,534 –> 00:11:42,660
what, five, seven years?
536
00:11:42,660 –> 00:11:43,994
I don’t know how many years
537
00:11:43,994 –> 00:11:44,495
Instagram’s
538
00:11:44,495 –> 00:11:45,371
actually, been around,
539
00:11:45,371 –> 00:11:47,039
but in that time
540
00:11:47,039 –> 00:11:48,249
I’ve only reached
541
00:11:48,249 –> 00:11:49,250
just to
542
00:11:49,250 –> 00:11:50,543
just over 4000 followers,
543
00:11:50,543 –> 00:11:52,002
which is not
544
00:11:52,002 –> 00:11:54,380
a small number by any means,
545
00:11:54,380 –> 00:11:55,548
but it was just
546
00:11:55,548 –> 00:11:57,174
the time difference
547
00:11:57,174 –> 00:11:57,800
that I was able
548
00:11:57,800 –> 00:11:58,175
to reach
549
00:11:58,175 –> 00:11:59,176
10,000 followers
550
00:11:59,176 –> 00:12:01,303
on Tik Tok in three months,
551
00:12:02,638 –> 00:12:04,140
whereas it’s been a five year
552
00:12:04,140 –> 00:12:06,142
grind together, like for four
553
00:12:06,142 –> 00:12:07,685
are those on Instagram.
554
00:12:07,685 –> 00:12:09,687
And so, it’s
555
00:12:09,770 –> 00:12:10,229
definitely all
556
00:12:10,229 –> 00:12:11,147
about consistency,
557
00:12:11,147 –> 00:12:11,981
consistency,
558
00:12:11,981 –> 00:12:14,024
especially at the start.
559
00:12:14,024 –> 00:12:17,486
And,
560
00:12:18,154 –> 00:12:21,615
I try and I try and post in
561
00:12:21,782 –> 00:12:23,242
keep on keeping my posts
562
00:12:23,242 –> 00:12:23,743
under like
563
00:12:23,743 –> 00:12:25,286
three different pillars
564
00:12:25,286 –> 00:12:27,788
and that would be, um,
565
00:12:27,788 –> 00:12:29,123
to entertain.
566
00:12:29,123 –> 00:12:29,623
Yeah.
567
00:12:29,874 –> 00:12:31,876
Inspire and educate.
568
00:12:32,293 –> 00:12:32,626
Yes.
569
00:12:33,627 –> 00:12:34,378
So those are
570
00:12:34,378 –> 00:12:36,255
kind of the three
571
00:12:36,255 –> 00:12:38,507
sort of areas my, my videos
572
00:12:38,924 –> 00:12:40,885
tend to kind of fall under.
573
00:12:40,885 –> 00:12:43,137
Um, so I try and
574
00:12:43,512 –> 00:12:44,305
people love the,
575
00:12:44,305 –> 00:12:45,639
the entertaining videos
576
00:12:45,639 –> 00:12:46,682
because obviously like people
577
00:12:46,682 –> 00:12:47,892
love a good laugh and stuff.
578
00:12:47,892 –> 00:12:48,184
Yeah.
579
00:12:48,184 –> 00:12:48,934
So that’s definitely
580
00:12:48,934 –> 00:12:49,393
what draw
581
00:12:49,393 –> 00:12:50,519
people draws people in.
582
00:12:50,519 –> 00:12:53,105
So, I tend to do more of those
583
00:12:53,105 –> 00:12:53,981
and then I would
584
00:12:53,981 –> 00:12:54,857
do an education
585
00:12:54,857 –> 00:12:55,858
or inspirational video
586
00:12:55,858 –> 00:12:57,651
then because people are there
587
00:12:57,651 –> 00:12:58,527
kind of thing.
588
00:12:58,527 –> 00:12:59,904
And so those are kind of
589
00:12:59,904 –> 00:13:01,113
the three things
590
00:13:01,113 –> 00:13:03,157
that I kind of
591
00:13:03,157 –> 00:13:06,410
wish I work my videos around
592
00:13:07,369 –> 00:13:10,122
within my niche, obviously.
593
00:13:10,122 –> 00:13:12,124
And then a big thing
594
00:13:12,124 –> 00:13:13,501
as well as consistency
595
00:13:13,501 –> 00:13:14,126
is bringing
596
00:13:14,126 –> 00:13:16,253
value to the person.
597
00:13:16,253 –> 00:13:18,672
And there is value
598
00:13:18,672 –> 00:13:20,007
in those three tiers
599
00:13:20,007 –> 00:13:22,009
of education
600
00:13:22,009 –> 00:13:22,510
and training,
601
00:13:22,510 –> 00:13:24,261
education, inspiring
602
00:13:24,261 –> 00:13:25,513
and so
603
00:13:25,513 –> 00:13:27,056
consistency and value
604
00:13:27,056 –> 00:13:27,681
are probably the
605
00:13:27,681 –> 00:13:29,767
two kind of main things
606
00:13:29,767 –> 00:13:31,018
that will help,
607
00:13:31,018 –> 00:13:31,811
I think,
608
00:13:31,811 –> 00:13:32,520
for you to grow
609
00:13:32,520 –> 00:13:33,270
on any social media.
610
00:13:33,270 –> 00:13:34,647
But definitely on Tik Tok.
611
00:13:34,647 –> 00:13:35,397
Yeah.
612
00:13:35,397 –> 00:13:36,357
That’s, brilliant.
613
00:13:36,357 –> 00:13:36,649
That’s,
614
00:13:36,649 –> 00:13:38,025
a really good cause
615
00:13:38,025 –> 00:13:39,860
because we need that repoire.
616
00:13:39,860 –> 00:13:40,611
It’s not just all,
617
00:13:40,611 –> 00:13:41,654
you know, you can’t just be on,
618
00:13:41,654 –> 00:13:42,488
I’ll tell you how to do this.
619
00:13:42,488 –> 00:13:43,239
tell you how to do this.
620
00:13:43,239 –> 00:13:44,865
We want to get people into
621
00:13:44,865 –> 00:13:46,242
what our characters are
622
00:13:46,242 –> 00:13:47,910
a little bit as well. Yeah.
623
00:13:47,910 –> 00:13:49,036
So that we’re building
624
00:13:49,036 –> 00:13:49,620
a kind of
625
00:13:49,620 –> 00:13:50,621
an online relationship
626
00:13:50,621 –> 00:13:51,622
with them as well, you know,
627
00:13:51,622 –> 00:13:52,414
so they get to know
628
00:13:52,414 –> 00:13:53,499
us little bit more.
629
00:13:53,499 –> 00:13:53,874
Yeah.
630
00:13:53,874 –> 00:13:55,417
And I definitely find
631
00:13:55,417 –> 00:13:56,418
and I mentioned earlier
632
00:13:56,418 –> 00:13:59,547
that people comment
633
00:13:59,547 –> 00:14:00,881
a lot more
634
00:14:00,881 –> 00:14:01,674
on Tik Tok
635
00:14:01,674 –> 00:14:03,884
videos than Instagram.
636
00:14:03,884 –> 00:14:05,261
Instagram
637
00:14:05,261 –> 00:14:06,387
interactions for me,
638
00:14:06,387 –> 00:14:06,929
anyway,
639
00:14:06,929 –> 00:14:07,429
have been
640
00:14:07,429 –> 00:14:09,139
very silent observers.
641
00:14:09,139 –> 00:14:10,766
I like to call them
642
00:14:10,766 –> 00:14:13,269
where,
643
00:14:13,269 –> 00:14:14,270
they might see my posts
644
00:14:14,270 –> 00:14:15,145
and in their head go, oh,
645
00:14:15,145 –> 00:14:15,646
that’s cool,
646
00:14:15,646 –> 00:14:16,647
but not like it or not
647
00:14:16,647 –> 00:14:17,606
comments on it
648
00:14:17,606 –> 00:14:19,233
and just kind of scroll by.
649
00:14:19,233 –> 00:14:21,151
Whereas I have
650
00:14:21,151 –> 00:14:22,361
looking at my statistics
651
00:14:22,361 –> 00:14:23,737
I’m always comparing my,
652
00:14:23,737 –> 00:14:24,989
my Instagram to my Tik Tok
653
00:14:24,989 –> 00:14:25,406
because
654
00:14:25,406 –> 00:14:26,282
I’m posting
655
00:14:26,282 –> 00:14:27,533
the exact same
656
00:14:27,533 –> 00:14:29,285
video essentially
657
00:14:29,285 –> 00:14:30,286
because all the Instagram
658
00:14:30,286 –> 00:14:31,537
have videos
659
00:14:31,537 –> 00:14:33,038
on both Tik Tok and Instagram.
660
00:14:33,038 –> 00:14:34,290
So it’s a very same video.
661
00:14:34,290 –> 00:14:35,624
So I’m always curious like
662
00:14:36,792 –> 00:14:37,877
what video will
663
00:14:37,877 –> 00:14:38,627
perform better on
664
00:14:38,627 –> 00:14:39,879
what platform?
665
00:14:39,879 –> 00:14:41,672
And 90% of the time
666
00:14:41,672 –> 00:14:42,256
it performs
667
00:14:42,256 –> 00:14:44,133
much better on Tik Tok.
668
00:14:44,133 –> 00:14:45,801
There are one or a couple of,
669
00:14:45,801 –> 00:14:46,552
of instances
670
00:14:46,552 –> 00:14:47,887
where a particular video
671
00:14:47,887 –> 00:14:49,138
performs better on Instagram
672
00:14:49,138 –> 00:14:50,264
for whatever reason.
673
00:14:50,264 –> 00:14:51,515
But
674
00:14:51,932 –> 00:14:54,018
yeah, I do find that
675
00:14:54,310 –> 00:14:55,519
the interaction
676
00:14:55,519 –> 00:14:56,520
and as you said,
677
00:14:56,520 –> 00:14:57,229
the kind of rapport
678
00:14:57,229 –> 00:14:57,855
between you and
679
00:14:57,855 –> 00:14:59,899
your followers is a lot more.
680
00:15:00,149 –> 00:15:01,650
And I’ve been very lucky in
681
00:15:01,650 –> 00:15:02,860
that I’ve not had
682
00:15:02,860 –> 00:15:05,154
any negative
683
00:15:05,154 –> 00:15:06,030
comments or anything
684
00:15:06,030 –> 00:15:06,906
like that.
685
00:15:06,906 –> 00:15:07,364
And I think
686
00:15:07,364 –> 00:15:08,866
another big thing as well
687
00:15:08,866 –> 00:15:09,992
is interacting
688
00:15:09,992 –> 00:15:10,743
with the people
689
00:15:10,743 –> 00:15:11,493
that comment on
690
00:15:11,493 –> 00:15:12,494
you are
691
00:15:12,494 –> 00:15:14,121
a comment on your videos
692
00:15:14,121 –> 00:15:16,498
and stuff like that because
693
00:15:16,498 –> 00:15:18,250
you are acknowledging
694
00:15:18,250 –> 00:15:18,918
their comments
695
00:15:18,918 –> 00:15:19,376
I think is
696
00:15:19,376 –> 00:15:20,169
is a great buzz
697
00:15:20,169 –> 00:15:21,921
for them as well.
698
00:15:22,379 –> 00:15:24,632
So consistency and value
699
00:15:24,632 –> 00:15:25,883
and just interacting
700
00:15:25,883 –> 00:15:27,009
with your followers.
701
00:15:27,009 –> 00:15:27,509
Brilliant.
702
00:15:27,509 –> 00:15:28,552
Yeah,
703
00:15:28,677 –> 00:15:29,887
that’s
704
00:15:29,887 –> 00:15:30,763
it in a nutshell.
705
00:15:30,763 –> 00:15:31,263
That’s really,
706
00:15:31,263 –> 00:15:33,182
really good advice. And like
707
00:15:34,266 –> 00:15:36,810
so you know,
708
00:15:36,810 –> 00:15:37,561
for businesses
709
00:15:37,561 –> 00:15:38,020
that are thinking
710
00:15:38,020 –> 00:15:38,729
I’ll put up one
711
00:15:38,729 –> 00:15:40,356
Once a week or something
712
00:15:40,356 –> 00:15:42,483
Like that
713
00:15:42,858 –> 00:15:43,651
would that work
714
00:15:43,651 –> 00:15:44,860
our do need to have just
715
00:15:44,860 –> 00:15:45,986
a bit more volume
716
00:15:45,986 –> 00:15:46,737
in the beginning
717
00:15:46,737 –> 00:15:48,614
and at very least
718
00:15:48,614 –> 00:15:50,491
I think you have to
719
00:15:50,491 –> 00:15:51,408
have more volume
720
00:15:51,408 –> 00:15:52,660
in the beginning
721
00:15:52,660 –> 00:15:55,037
because of what way
722
00:15:55,788 –> 00:15:56,747
Tik Tok works
723
00:15:56,747 –> 00:15:57,373
and filtering
724
00:15:57,373 –> 00:15:58,540
out your content
725
00:15:58,540 –> 00:16:00,876
because although
726
00:16:01,752 –> 00:16:04,421
say I posted a video today
727
00:16:05,506 –> 00:16:06,382
there I might go
728
00:16:06,382 –> 00:16:06,882
look and see
729
00:16:06,882 –> 00:16:07,925
if there’s any notifications
730
00:16:07,925 –> 00:16:08,634
and there’s a video
731
00:16:08,634 –> 00:16:09,510
from two weeks ago
732
00:16:09,510 –> 00:16:10,052
that I posted
733
00:16:10,052 –> 00:16:11,303
that people are liking.
734
00:16:11,303 –> 00:16:13,806
So it’s like
735
00:16:13,806 –> 00:16:14,765
I think
736
00:16:14,765 –> 00:16:15,683
the way Instagram works,
737
00:16:15,683 –> 00:16:16,392
if you post it,
738
00:16:16,392 –> 00:16:16,892
that’s the thing
739
00:16:16,892 –> 00:16:17,559
that they filter
740
00:16:17,559 –> 00:16:18,394
and then it stops.
741
00:16:18,394 –> 00:16:18,769
It doesn’t
742
00:16:18,769 –> 00:16:20,145
get filtered out again.
743
00:16:20,145 –> 00:16:21,230
Whereas Tik Tok
744
00:16:21,230 –> 00:16:22,231
seems to circulate
745
00:16:22,231 –> 00:16:23,482
your content all the time.
746
00:16:23,482 –> 00:16:24,775
So, videos
747
00:16:24,775 –> 00:16:25,985
that I’ve put out weeks ago
748
00:16:25,985 –> 00:16:26,860
might all of a sudden start
749
00:16:26,860 –> 00:16:27,486
getting comments
750
00:16:27,486 –> 00:16:27,903
or likes
751
00:16:27,903 –> 00:16:28,612
or something like that
752
00:16:28,612 –> 00:16:30,614
because it decides, okay,
753
00:16:30,614 –> 00:16:31,657
this is a new person here
754
00:16:31,657 –> 00:16:32,908
that might like this video.
755
00:16:32,908 –> 00:16:33,283
So let’s
756
00:16:33,283 –> 00:16:34,410
show them this video and
757
00:16:34,410 –> 00:16:35,744
they might go into your
758
00:16:36,787 –> 00:16:37,871
account and then start
759
00:16:37,871 –> 00:16:38,288
looking through
760
00:16:38,288 –> 00:16:39,373
all your all your videos
761
00:16:39,373 –> 00:16:40,374
which is kind of a trend
762
00:16:40,374 –> 00:16:42,793
that I see with Tik Tok.
763
00:16:42,793 –> 00:16:43,752
If a person sees
764
00:16:43,752 –> 00:16:44,503
a particular video,
765
00:16:44,503 –> 00:16:45,879
then it gauges
766
00:16:45,879 –> 00:16:46,380
their interests
767
00:16:46,380 –> 00:16:47,423
and then they go to my page
768
00:16:47,423 –> 00:16:48,674
and like,
769
00:16:48,674 –> 00:16:50,384
do a watch party
770
00:16:50,384 –> 00:16:51,760
Of all my content.
771
00:16:51,760 –> 00:16:52,428
No,
772
00:16:52,428 –> 00:16:52,761
but I
773
00:16:52,761 –> 00:16:55,681
definitely think volume, but
774
00:16:56,557 –> 00:16:57,266
not volume
775
00:16:57,266 –> 00:16:58,767
for the sake of volume.
776
00:16:58,767 –> 00:17:00,644
If that makes sense. Yes.
777
00:17:00,644 –> 00:17:02,229
And it doesn’t necessarily
778
00:17:02,229 –> 00:17:04,356
have to be like
779
00:17:04,356 –> 00:17:06,233
the videos that I do.
780
00:17:06,233 –> 00:17:07,026
As you said,
781
00:17:07,026 –> 00:17:07,985
I’d like to think
782
00:17:07,985 –> 00:17:08,485
that they are
783
00:17:08,485 –> 00:17:09,903
very high quality,
784
00:17:09,903 –> 00:17:11,739
but that’s kind of twofold
785
00:17:11,739 –> 00:17:13,741
for me because of
786
00:17:13,741 –> 00:17:14,742
what my business does.
787
00:17:14,742 –> 00:17:15,784
I am a videographer,
788
00:17:15,784 –> 00:17:17,745
so I have in
789
00:17:17,745 –> 00:17:18,912
the back of my head,
790
00:17:18,912 –> 00:17:19,413
if I’m going to
791
00:17:19,413 –> 00:17:20,914
make my own videos,
792
00:17:20,914 –> 00:17:22,291
they need to be high quality
793
00:17:22,291 –> 00:17:22,750
because it’s
794
00:17:22,750 –> 00:17:24,251
not only inspiring,
795
00:17:24,251 –> 00:17:26,378
educating and
796
00:17:26,879 –> 00:17:28,297
entertaining it’s
797
00:17:28,297 –> 00:17:30,257
also showing the viewer,
798
00:17:30,257 –> 00:17:31,425
oh, that video
799
00:17:31,425 –> 00:17:32,134
looks really good.
800
00:17:32,134 –> 00:17:33,510
She obviously does know what
801
00:17:33,510 –> 00:17:33,927
she’s doing.
802
00:17:33,927 –> 00:17:34,428
She knows how
803
00:17:34,428 –> 00:17:35,304
to light a scene
804
00:17:36,513 –> 00:17:37,264
and stuff like that.
805
00:17:37,264 –> 00:17:39,683
So I wouldn’t say
806
00:17:39,683 –> 00:17:41,435
quantity for the sake of it,
807
00:17:41,435 –> 00:17:42,311
and I don’t think
808
00:17:42,311 –> 00:17:45,355
it needs to be 4K quality,
809
00:17:45,731 –> 00:17:46,732
but I do think there needs
810
00:17:46,732 –> 00:17:46,982
to be
811
00:17:46,982 –> 00:17:47,357
a little bit of
812
00:17:47,357 –> 00:17:48,150
thought behind it
813
00:17:48,150 –> 00:17:48,525
instead of
814
00:17:48,525 –> 00:17:50,611
just throwing up stuff
815
00:17:50,611 –> 00:17:51,236
for the sake.
816
00:17:51,236 –> 00:17:52,988
And I suppose
817
00:17:52,988 –> 00:17:54,364
because, you know, like
818
00:17:54,364 –> 00:17:54,656
you do
819
00:17:54,656 –> 00:17:55,532
see all the trends like,
820
00:17:55,532 –> 00:17:56,492
you know, there’s even
821
00:17:56,492 –> 00:17:58,035
even at
822
00:17:58,035 –> 00:17:58,494
the count
823
00:17:58,494 –> 00:17:59,119
can follow that,
824
00:17:59,119 –> 00:18:00,496
tell you what the trends are.
825
00:18:00,496 –> 00:18:00,913
You know,
826
00:18:00,913 –> 00:18:01,997
this lip syncs work
827
00:18:01,997 –> 00:18:03,749
and our distance is working.
828
00:18:03,749 –> 00:18:04,416
Like
829
00:18:04,875 –> 00:18:06,001
is that an avenue
830
00:18:06,001 –> 00:18:07,878
in for some businesses just,
831
00:18:07,878 –> 00:18:10,672
to get the feel first?
832
00:18:10,672 –> 00:18:11,298
I think so
833
00:18:11,298 –> 00:18:12,007
that’s kind of,
834
00:18:12,007 –> 00:18:13,509
that’s kind of how I started.
835
00:18:13,509 –> 00:18:15,636
Like I didn’t do any dances,
836
00:18:15,636 –> 00:18:17,137
but I did do a few lip syncs
837
00:18:17,137 –> 00:18:18,889
because I was able to I would
838
00:18:18,889 –> 00:18:19,681
hurt, would have heard
839
00:18:19,681 –> 00:18:20,015
some lip
840
00:18:20,015 –> 00:18:20,933
syncs and gone,
841
00:18:20,933 –> 00:18:21,391
okay,
842
00:18:21,391 –> 00:18:23,519
I can put this to my niche.
843
00:18:23,936 –> 00:18:24,812
Like there’s
844
00:18:24,812 –> 00:18:26,105
a trend going around
845
00:18:26,105 –> 00:18:26,730
although it did
846
00:18:26,730 –> 00:18:27,773
better on Instagram
847
00:18:27,773 –> 00:18:28,982
Weirdly enough
848
00:18:28,982 –> 00:18:29,399
there’s a trend
849
00:18:29,399 –> 00:18:30,609
going around on Tik Tok
850
00:18:30,609 –> 00:18:31,235
at the moment.
851
00:18:31,235 –> 00:18:31,527
I don’t know
852
00:18:31,527 –> 00:18:32,236
if you’ve heard us.
853
00:18:32,236 –> 00:18:33,612
It’s this little boy
854
00:18:33,612 –> 00:18:34,363
who’s been interviewed
855
00:18:34,363 –> 00:18:36,740
about corn on the cob
856
00:18:36,740 –> 00:18:37,157
no, I haven’t.
857
00:18:38,784 –> 00:18:40,369
It’s the most are
858
00:18:40,494 –> 00:18:40,869
you get
859
00:18:40,869 –> 00:18:41,745
such entertainment
860
00:18:41,745 –> 00:18:42,746
out of the things that
861
00:18:42,746 –> 00:18:44,373
begin to trend.
862
00:18:44,373 –> 00:18:45,666
But it’s this boy
863
00:18:45,666 –> 00:18:46,375
this little boy
864
00:18:46,375 –> 00:18:47,501
who’s been interviewed
865
00:18:47,501 –> 00:18:48,377
and probably
866
00:18:48,377 –> 00:18:49,545
local news or something
867
00:18:49,545 –> 00:18:50,003
and they’re at
868
00:18:50,003 –> 00:18:50,879
some sort of fair
869
00:18:50,879 –> 00:18:51,421
and he’s eaten
870
00:18:51,421 –> 00:18:52,131
corn on the cob
871
00:18:52,131 –> 00:18:53,298
and he’s like the first time
872
00:18:53,298 –> 00:18:53,882
he’s ever had
873
00:18:53,882 –> 00:18:54,508
and he thinks it’s
874
00:18:54,508 –> 00:18:55,676
the best thing in the world.
875
00:18:55,676 –> 00:18:57,386
And then another Tik Toker
876
00:18:57,386 –> 00:18:58,804
taking the
877
00:18:58,804 –> 00:19:00,639
like samples of audio
878
00:19:00,639 –> 00:19:01,515
of the things that he said
879
00:19:01,515 –> 00:19:02,266
in the interview.
880
00:19:02,266 –> 00:19:04,309
He turned it into a song.
881
00:19:04,309 –> 00:19:05,018
So it’s
882
00:19:05,018 –> 00:19:06,395
all over Tik Tok
883
00:19:06,395 –> 00:19:06,937
and it’s the most
884
00:19:06,937 –> 00:19:09,273
random thing, boss.
885
00:19:09,273 –> 00:19:10,232
I was able to
886
00:19:10,232 –> 00:19:11,900
tweak it and not tweak it,
887
00:19:11,900 –> 00:19:13,110
but I was able to look at it
888
00:19:13,110 –> 00:19:14,611
and go, okay,
889
00:19:14,611 –> 00:19:16,530
I can put this,
890
00:19:16,530 –> 00:19:18,532
ah, gear this to my niche.
891
00:19:18,532 –> 00:19:19,616
And because he says,
892
00:19:19,616 –> 00:19:21,118
I love corn, so I,
893
00:19:21,118 –> 00:19:21,994
I love Sony
894
00:19:21,994 –> 00:19:22,995
like Sony cameras
895
00:19:22,995 –> 00:19:23,912
because that’s.
896
00:19:23,912 –> 00:19:25,873
Yeah, that’s what I film with
897
00:19:25,873 –> 00:19:26,290
here as well
898
00:19:28,625 –> 00:19:30,502
and, stuff like that.
899
00:19:30,502 –> 00:19:33,630
So I think it is an avenue in
900
00:19:33,630 –> 00:19:36,508
that is a relatively simple
901
00:19:36,508 –> 00:19:37,509
like those
902
00:19:37,509 –> 00:19:38,510
the lip-sync videos
903
00:19:38,510 –> 00:19:38,886
that I do
904
00:19:38,886 –> 00:19:39,636
and stuff like that
905
00:19:39,636 –> 00:19:40,804
and that I
906
00:19:40,804 –> 00:19:42,806
focus towards my niche.
907
00:19:42,806 –> 00:19:45,392
They are quite quick to do
908
00:19:45,392 –> 00:19:46,894
and I have my lighting
909
00:19:46,894 –> 00:19:47,519
set up and stuff
910
00:19:47,519 –> 00:19:48,270
in the background
911
00:19:48,270 –> 00:19:49,229
and I have such a way
912
00:19:49,229 –> 00:19:49,980
now I can do them
913
00:19:49,980 –> 00:19:51,982
quite quickly if I want to.
914
00:19:51,982 –> 00:19:52,983
And I know a lot of people
915
00:19:52,983 –> 00:19:54,234
film stuff on their phone,
916
00:19:54,234 –> 00:19:56,111
but I go the extra mile
917
00:19:56,111 –> 00:19:56,612
and I film
918
00:19:56,612 –> 00:19:57,029
that on one
919
00:19:57,029 –> 00:19:58,363
of my bigger cameras
920
00:19:58,363 –> 00:19:59,531
because as I said, for me,
921
00:19:59,531 –> 00:20:00,407
I want to show
922
00:20:00,407 –> 00:20:01,533
the quality of my work
923
00:20:01,533 –> 00:20:02,910
as well as entertaining,
924
00:20:02,910 –> 00:20:04,620
educating and inspiring
925
00:20:04,620 –> 00:20:05,621
and stuff like that.
926
00:20:05,621 –> 00:20:08,165
And so yes, I do think
927
00:20:08,373 –> 00:20:09,917
and jumping
928
00:20:09,917 –> 00:20:11,501
on some of the trends,
929
00:20:11,501 –> 00:20:12,294
not for the sake of
930
00:20:12,294 –> 00:20:12,920
jumping on them,
931
00:20:12,920 –> 00:20:14,129
but picking and choosing
932
00:20:14,129 –> 00:20:15,130
the ones that work for you
933
00:20:15,130 –> 00:20:16,506
and work for your business.
934
00:20:16,506 –> 00:20:16,924
Yeah,
935
00:20:16,924 –> 00:20:18,759
I think is a way into it.
936
00:20:18,759 –> 00:20:20,177
And then starting going,
937
00:20:20,177 –> 00:20:21,053
Okay, maybe
938
00:20:21,053 –> 00:20:23,138
I can show some BTS,
939
00:20:23,138 –> 00:20:26,266
maybe I can show the,
940
00:20:26,642 –> 00:20:27,059
the ins
941
00:20:27,059 –> 00:20:28,060
and outs of my business
942
00:20:28,060 –> 00:20:29,311
and what I do,
943
00:20:29,311 –> 00:20:31,730
and maybe I can teach people.
944
00:20:31,897 –> 00:20:33,148
Like if you want to go
945
00:20:33,148 –> 00:20:33,649
and do this,
946
00:20:33,649 –> 00:20:34,650
this is what you need to do
947
00:20:34,650 –> 00:20:36,902
or inspire them.
948
00:20:36,902 –> 00:20:38,278
I didn’t have a
949
00:20:38,278 –> 00:20:39,363
I don’t have a degree
950
00:20:39,363 –> 00:20:40,364
in videography.
951
00:20:40,364 –> 00:20:40,864
I learnt it
952
00:20:40,864 –> 00:20:41,490
all on the
953
00:20:41,490 –> 00:20:42,616
University of YouTube.
954
00:20:42,616 –> 00:20:44,284
I say. Yeah,
955
00:20:44,284 –> 00:20:45,494
same here from here.
956
00:20:45,494 –> 00:20:47,788
So it’s just showing people
957
00:20:48,789 –> 00:20:50,791
you, you can start something
958
00:20:50,874 –> 00:20:52,000
no matter your background
959
00:20:52,000 –> 00:20:52,501
and stuff like that.
960
00:20:52,501 –> 00:20:52,918
So
961
00:20:53,752 –> 00:20:56,296
I was kind of a long winded
962
00:20:56,296 –> 00:20:57,631
and I digress a little bit,
963
00:20:57,631 –> 00:20:59,883
but hopefully I question.
964
00:20:59,883 –> 00:21:00,634
that’s gold
965
00:21:00,634 –> 00:21:01,551
because like
966
00:21:01,551 –> 00:21:03,387
many people don’t know about,
967
00:21:03,387 –> 00:21:05,055
you know, what, how it works
968
00:21:05,055 –> 00:21:06,056
and that is that. Yeah.
969
00:21:06,056 –> 00:21:07,266
And,
970
00:21:07,266 –> 00:21:08,141
hopefully our listeners
971
00:21:08,141 –> 00:21:08,892
will get great
972
00:21:08,892 –> 00:21:09,935
value from that.
973
00:21:09,935 –> 00:21:11,061
And I just,
974
00:21:11,061 –> 00:21:11,645
just before
975
00:21:11,645 –> 00:21:12,771
We go. I’ve got one
976
00:21:12,771 –> 00:21:13,355
final question
977
00:21:13,355 –> 00:21:14,481
for our last few questions.
978
00:21:14,481 –> 00:21:15,482
So let’s do more
979
00:21:15,482 –> 00:21:17,609
and but yeah, like this
980
00:21:17,609 –> 00:21:18,777
the pool guy over
981
00:21:18,777 –> 00:21:19,861
in the southeast of England.
982
00:21:19,861 –> 00:21:20,737
Yes.
983
00:21:20,988 –> 00:21:22,739
So you play with Holler
984
00:21:22,739 –> 00:21:23,782
at your boy for the pool
985
00:21:23,782 –> 00:21:24,366
where I
986
00:21:24,658 –> 00:21:25,993
Bet, holler at your boy
987
00:21:25,993 –> 00:21:28,120
for the pool work is.
988
00:21:28,120 –> 00:21:29,871
Yes. Anything amazing.
989
00:21:29,871 –> 00:21:31,039
I’ve watched a lot of stuff
990
00:21:31,039 –> 00:21:32,165
like these Kane pools
991
00:21:32,165 –> 00:21:33,875
he just talks about is yeah.
992
00:21:33,875 –> 00:21:35,544
Crazy views right.
993
00:21:35,544 –> 00:21:36,795
So I
994
00:21:36,795 –> 00:21:37,921
see people love before
995
00:21:37,921 –> 00:21:38,797
and afters.
996
00:21:38,797 –> 00:21:41,425
Yeah we love to see extreme
997
00:21:42,301 –> 00:21:43,885
extreme changes.
998
00:21:43,885 –> 00:21:44,177
Yeah.
999
00:21:44,177 –> 00:21:46,305
Like I kind of do that with
1000
00:21:46,305 –> 00:21:47,889
so I do kind of,
1001
00:21:47,889 –> 00:21:49,766
um, colour grading.
1002
00:21:49,766 –> 00:21:50,892
So kind of
1003
00:21:50,892 –> 00:21:51,768
getting behind the scenes,
1004
00:21:51,768 –> 00:21:53,145
I suppose like I would have
1005
00:21:53,145 –> 00:21:54,604
where it’s raw profile
1006
00:21:54,604 –> 00:21:55,230
and for people
1007
00:21:55,230 –> 00:21:56,356
that don’t know
1008
00:21:56,356 –> 00:21:57,774
when you shoot in raw,
1009
00:21:57,774 –> 00:21:59,901
your video looks very,
1010
00:21:59,901 –> 00:22:01,153
very desaturated,
1011
00:22:01,153 –> 00:22:02,529
almost black and white.
1012
00:22:02,529 –> 00:22:04,114
It’s so desaturated such
1013
00:22:04,114 –> 00:22:06,158
and then showing the
1014
00:22:06,158 –> 00:22:07,617
the contrast of
1015
00:22:07,617 –> 00:22:08,618
when you colour greatest
1016
00:22:08,618 –> 00:22:09,244
compared to
1017
00:22:09,244 –> 00:22:10,162
that is always
1018
00:22:10,162 –> 00:22:11,496
people love that.
1019
00:22:11,496 –> 00:22:12,039
And so it’s
1020
00:22:12,039 –> 00:22:12,622
kind of like that.
1021
00:22:12,622 –> 00:22:15,500
People love to see dramatic
1022
00:22:15,876 –> 00:22:17,627
like evolutions and stuff
1023
00:22:17,627 –> 00:22:17,919
like that
1024
00:22:17,919 –> 00:22:18,503
for whatever
1025
00:22:18,503 –> 00:22:19,254
reason we find it
1026
00:22:19,254 –> 00:22:20,297
fascinating.
1027
00:22:20,297 –> 00:22:22,132
Yeah, absolutely. I can also.
1028
00:22:22,132 –> 00:22:23,133
So like
1029
00:22:23,300 –> 00:22:24,259
I think the key to
1030
00:22:24,259 –> 00:22:26,136
that is just for businesses
1031
00:22:26,136 –> 00:22:27,929
thinking all my business
1032
00:22:27,929 –> 00:22:28,513
I could never
1033
00:22:28,513 –> 00:22:29,264
but like
1034
00:22:29,264 –> 00:22:30,015
just have a look
1035
00:22:30,015 –> 00:22:30,640
and see
1036
00:22:30,640 –> 00:22:32,392
what other businesses like
1037
00:22:32,392 –> 00:22:33,143
yours are doing.
1038
00:22:33,143 –> 00:22:33,393
Tik Tok
1039
00:22:33,393 –> 00:22:34,394
talk to get ideas
1040
00:22:34,394 –> 00:22:36,396
is probably another…
1041
00:22:36,396 –> 00:22:36,980
no matter
1042
00:22:36,980 –> 00:22:37,981
no matter what your
1043
00:22:37,981 –> 00:22:39,232
I feel, no matter what
1044
00:22:39,232 –> 00:22:41,276
your business is,
1045
00:22:41,276 –> 00:22:43,028
what your niche is
1046
00:22:43,028 –> 00:22:44,738
there is always going to be
1047
00:22:44,738 –> 00:22:46,740
an area of content
1048
00:22:46,740 –> 00:22:48,116
that you can create for that.
1049
00:22:49,242 –> 00:22:50,994
It’s just about
1050
00:22:50,994 –> 00:22:51,620
synergy and
1051
00:22:51,620 –> 00:22:52,537
having to think about it
1052
00:22:52,537 –> 00:22:53,497
as you said, following
1053
00:22:53,497 –> 00:22:53,914
other people
1054
00:22:53,914 –> 00:22:55,874
that are in similar areas.
1055
00:22:55,874 –> 00:22:56,124
Yeah,
1056
00:22:57,000 –> 00:22:58,251
and,
1057
00:22:58,251 –> 00:22:59,419
learning from them a bit,
1058
00:22:59,419 –> 00:23:00,128
which what I do,
1059
00:23:00,128 –> 00:23:00,754
I totally look
1060
00:23:00,754 –> 00:23:02,506
at other videographers and
1061
00:23:02,506 –> 00:23:03,882
reels that they’ve created
1062
00:23:03,882 –> 00:23:04,299
and stuff
1063
00:23:04,299 –> 00:23:04,758
like that
1064
00:23:04,758 –> 00:23:05,884
and get inspired
1065
00:23:05,884 –> 00:23:08,011
by them and stuff. So, um.
1066
00:23:08,553 –> 00:23:09,554
Yeah, yeah.
1067
00:23:09,554 –> 00:23:10,680
Very good, very good.
1068
00:23:10,680 –> 00:23:13,642
Now I’m just as wild.
1069
00:23:13,892 –> 00:23:15,018
I added on question
1070
00:23:15,018 –> 00:23:17,229
there is so how much time?
1071
00:23:17,521 –> 00:23:19,147
So I split this
1072
00:23:19,147 –> 00:23:19,481
do you
1073
00:23:19,481 –> 00:23:21,608
spend on creating content
1074
00:23:22,234 –> 00:23:22,984
in a week?
1075
00:23:22,984 –> 00:23:23,860
I’m glad you said
1076
00:23:23,860 –> 00:23:24,486
creating
1077
00:23:24,486 –> 00:23:25,153
instead of just
1078
00:23:25,153 –> 00:23:27,656
scrolling aimlessly.
1079
00:23:27,656 –> 00:23:28,865
How much time?
1080
00:23:28,865 –> 00:23:29,282
I mean,
1081
00:23:29,282 –> 00:23:30,784
how long is a piece of string
1082
00:23:30,784 –> 00:23:31,368
kind of it
1083
00:23:31,368 –> 00:23:34,246
kind of depends on my,
1084
00:23:34,246 –> 00:23:36,164
on my week and obviously
1085
00:23:36,164 –> 00:23:38,291
my priority is my client work
1086
00:23:38,291 –> 00:23:38,750
and my
1087
00:23:38,750 –> 00:23:40,127
on my current projects.
1088
00:23:41,169 –> 00:23:42,379
But I obviously do want
1089
00:23:42,379 –> 00:23:43,255
to still be
1090
00:23:43,255 –> 00:23:45,382
relatively consistent
1091
00:23:45,382 –> 00:23:46,007
on Tik Tok
1092
00:23:46,007 –> 00:23:47,384
and stuff like that.
1093
00:23:48,009 –> 00:23:49,886
But I would say I would
1094
00:23:49,886 –> 00:23:51,012
definitely a day
1095
00:23:51,012 –> 00:23:52,639
like 8 hours or more,
1096
00:23:52,639 –> 00:23:53,765
8 and a half,
1097
00:23:53,765 –> 00:23:56,017
like 8 hour or 16 hours
1098
00:23:56,017 –> 00:23:57,394
a day and a half.
1099
00:23:57,394 –> 00:23:57,811
And that’s
1100
00:23:57,811 –> 00:24:00,021
just trying to be
1101
00:24:00,021 –> 00:24:01,231
a fairly efficient
1102
00:24:01,231 –> 00:24:01,857
with my time.
1103
00:24:01,857 –> 00:24:03,483
Like if I were a full
1104
00:24:03,483 –> 00:24:04,526
just content
1105
00:24:04,526 –> 00:24:05,610
creator and social media
1106
00:24:05,610 –> 00:24:07,487
was my business,
1107
00:24:07,487 –> 00:24:08,989
instead of I’m
1108
00:24:08,989 –> 00:24:09,906
using social media
1109
00:24:09,906 –> 00:24:10,907
to bring in business
1110
00:24:10,907 –> 00:24:11,992
to do client work
1111
00:24:11,992 –> 00:24:12,534
and do bigger
1112
00:24:12,534 –> 00:24:13,410
projects and stuff.
1113
00:24:13,410 –> 00:24:15,912
So that’s my goal
1114
00:24:16,413 –> 00:24:18,039
as I create content for
1115
00:24:18,039 –> 00:24:18,748
my social media
1116
00:24:18,748 –> 00:24:19,666
is rather than
1117
00:24:19,666 –> 00:24:20,542
social media
1118
00:24:20,542 –> 00:24:21,543
and content creation
1119
00:24:21,543 –> 00:24:22,669
is my business, that
1120
00:24:22,669 –> 00:24:23,420
that makes sense.
1121
00:24:23,420 –> 00:24:24,629
Yeah, absolutely.
1122
00:24:24,629 –> 00:24:27,132
So I try not to
1123
00:24:27,132 –> 00:24:29,134
put a huge amount of hours
1124
00:24:29,134 –> 00:24:29,426
into it
1125
00:24:29,426 –> 00:24:29,759
because I
1126
00:24:29,759 –> 00:24:31,136
don’t want to take away
1127
00:24:31,136 –> 00:24:32,762
from the time that I need
1128
00:24:32,762 –> 00:24:33,638
to do project work
1129
00:24:33,638 –> 00:24:34,264
and stuff like that.
1130
00:24:34,264 –> 00:24:35,307
But I do see the benefit.
1131
00:24:35,307 –> 00:24:36,016
And so it’s trying
1132
00:24:36,016 –> 00:24:37,434
to find that balance as best
1133
00:24:37,434 –> 00:24:38,185
I can.
1134
00:24:38,185 –> 00:24:39,686
And I can kind of vary like
1135
00:24:40,729 –> 00:24:42,731
I do these videos call them
1136
00:24:43,648 –> 00:24:44,774
a video series that I started
1137
00:24:44,774 –> 00:24:45,484
called Recreate
1138
00:24:45,484 –> 00:24:46,526
a Scene With Me
1139
00:24:46,526 –> 00:24:49,279
where I take a scene
1140
00:24:49,279 –> 00:24:50,405
from either a video
1141
00:24:50,405 –> 00:24:51,990
I’ve seen on another video
1142
00:24:51,990 –> 00:24:52,866
I’ve seen from a creator
1143
00:24:52,866 –> 00:24:53,617
on social media,
1144
00:24:53,617 –> 00:24:55,160
a movie scene, a scene
1145
00:24:55,160 –> 00:24:56,620
from a TV show,
1146
00:24:56,620 –> 00:24:58,788
and I break it down
1147
00:24:58,788 –> 00:24:59,372
in terms
1148
00:24:59,372 –> 00:25:00,248
of the composition
1149
00:25:00,248 –> 00:25:00,999
of the shot.
1150
00:25:00,999 –> 00:25:01,666
And then I break
1151
00:25:01,666 –> 00:25:02,626
down the lighting
1152
00:25:02,626 –> 00:25:04,127
and then I go, Okay,
1153
00:25:04,127 –> 00:25:05,253
I’m going to try and
1154
00:25:05,253 –> 00:25:06,546
recreate this as best
1155
00:25:06,546 –> 00:25:07,005
I can
1156
00:25:07,005 –> 00:25:08,632
with the gear that I have,
1157
00:25:08,632 –> 00:25:08,798
and I’m
1158
00:25:08,798 –> 00:25:09,883
going to bring you along
1159
00:25:09,883 –> 00:25:11,134
for the ride, essentially,
1160
00:25:11,134 –> 00:25:12,511
and then show you the results
1161
00:25:12,511 –> 00:25:13,428
and show you
1162
00:25:13,428 –> 00:25:14,012
if you just
1163
00:25:14,012 –> 00:25:14,888
break something down
1164
00:25:14,888 –> 00:25:16,264
into smaller parts,
1165
00:25:16,264 –> 00:25:16,890
it can be
1166
00:25:16,890 –> 00:25:18,642
a lot more consumable.
1167
00:25:18,642 –> 00:25:19,643
And you can understand it a
1168
00:25:19,643 –> 00:25:21,186
lot better and stuff. And
1169
00:25:22,187 –> 00:25:23,230
so in
1170
00:25:23,230 –> 00:25:23,772
in that
1171
00:25:23,772 –> 00:25:24,898
example of my Recreate
1172
00:25:24,898 –> 00:25:25,732
a Scene series
1173
00:25:25,732 –> 00:25:26,608
that could take
1174
00:25:26,608 –> 00:25:27,526
maybe two days
1175
00:25:27,526 –> 00:25:28,026
to do
1176
00:25:28,026 –> 00:25:29,277
because of the filming
1177
00:25:29,277 –> 00:25:30,237
involved
1178
00:25:30,237 –> 00:25:31,279
and figuring out
1179
00:25:31,279 –> 00:25:31,905
the lighting,
1180
00:25:31,905 –> 00:25:32,739
I write a script
1181
00:25:32,739 –> 00:25:34,991
for that particular one
1182
00:25:35,617 –> 00:25:36,785
and then the editing involved
1183
00:25:36,785 –> 00:25:37,118
in that
1184
00:25:37,118 –> 00:25:38,286
because I show
1185
00:25:38,286 –> 00:25:39,913
screen the screen recordings
1186
00:25:39,913 –> 00:25:40,664
of me drawing
1187
00:25:40,664 –> 00:25:42,290
on the scene to,
1188
00:25:42,290 –> 00:25:43,250
to show the different
1189
00:25:43,250 –> 00:25:43,875
lighting stuff
1190
00:25:43,875 –> 00:25:44,876
that so that particular
1191
00:25:44,876 –> 00:25:46,127
kind of video
1192
00:25:46,127 –> 00:25:48,129
can, can take much longer
1193
00:25:48,129 –> 00:25:49,548
than to say the lip-sync
1194
00:25:49,548 –> 00:25:50,507
videos and stuff.
1195
00:25:50,507 –> 00:25:51,424
So the lip
1196
00:25:51,424 –> 00:25:52,300
sync videos are handy
1197
00:25:52,300 –> 00:25:53,134
to do every so often
1198
00:25:53,134 –> 00:25:53,510
because they’re
1199
00:25:53,510 –> 00:25:55,387
nice and quick. Yeah.
1200
00:25:55,387 –> 00:25:57,764
And another thing with
1201
00:25:57,764 –> 00:25:59,307
with Tik Tok and stuff
1202
00:25:59,307 –> 00:26:00,267
like that
1203
00:26:01,142 –> 00:26:03,770
is you can reuse contents
1204
00:26:03,770 –> 00:26:05,730
so much like there
1205
00:26:05,730 –> 00:26:07,983
I have a video that I took
1206
00:26:07,983 –> 00:26:09,526
are video clips that I
1207
00:26:09,526 –> 00:26:10,485
took of my friend
1208
00:26:11,653 –> 00:26:12,737
and when I went to visit
1209
00:26:12,737 –> 00:26:13,405
her in Barbados
1210
00:26:13,405 –> 00:26:14,114
and I
1211
00:26:14,114 –> 00:26:15,532
took a load of underwater
1212
00:26:15,532 –> 00:26:16,032
kind of stuff,
1213
00:26:16,032 –> 00:26:17,742
our water sort of scenes
1214
00:26:17,742 –> 00:26:19,411
and I have used that to do
1215
00:26:19,411 –> 00:26:19,995
like just
1216
00:26:19,995 –> 00:26:21,162
thinking of different ways
1217
00:26:21,162 –> 00:26:22,914
that I can use
1218
00:26:23,373 –> 00:26:23,790
putting it
1219
00:26:23,790 –> 00:26:24,791
into a bit of a montage
1220
00:26:24,791 –> 00:26:25,875
showing the original video,
1221
00:26:25,875 –> 00:26:27,043
showing the edit of
1222
00:26:27,043 –> 00:26:27,794
the original video,
1223
00:26:27,794 –> 00:26:29,254
the sound design to it,
1224
00:26:29,254 –> 00:26:30,255
the colour great to it.
1225
00:26:30,255 –> 00:26:32,132
Like you can really
1226
00:26:32,132 –> 00:26:33,174
break up
1227
00:26:33,174 –> 00:26:35,135
your content and disperse
1228
00:26:35,135 –> 00:26:36,511
in so many different ways
1229
00:26:36,511 –> 00:26:37,137
and even if
1230
00:26:37,137 –> 00:26:38,263
I was to post the very same
1231
00:26:38,263 –> 00:26:40,265
video again now months later
1232
00:26:40,890 –> 00:26:42,892
and it would still get like
1233
00:26:43,268 –> 00:26:44,394
hopefully a few
1234
00:26:44,394 –> 00:26:45,061
thousand views
1235
00:26:45,061 –> 00:26:45,645
and stuff like that
1236
00:26:45,645 –> 00:26:47,856
because it will be circulated
1237
00:26:47,856 –> 00:26:48,607
to different people
1238
00:26:48,607 –> 00:26:49,524
and stuff like that.
1239
00:26:49,524 –> 00:26:51,860
So. Yeah, no, I like it.
1240
00:26:52,360 –> 00:26:52,986
As I said,
1241
00:26:53,903 –> 00:26:54,362
it kind of
1242
00:26:54,362 –> 00:26:55,238
depends on the time
1243
00:26:55,238 –> 00:26:56,114
that I
1244
00:26:56,114 –> 00:26:56,990
I work on the projects,
1245
00:26:56,990 –> 00:26:58,533
but it does take time.
1246
00:26:58,533 –> 00:26:59,117
Yeah, absolutely.
1247
00:26:59,117 –> 00:27:00,118
And like as well
1248
00:27:00,118 –> 00:27:01,995
I suppose, like it’s,
1249
00:27:01,995 –> 00:27:02,871
it’s always good to think,
1250
00:27:02,871 –> 00:27:03,121
okay,
1251
00:27:03,121 –> 00:27:03,997
I want to make a long time,
1252
00:27:03,997 –> 00:27:04,539
but then could
1253
00:27:04,539 –> 00:27:05,498
I make five short things
1254
00:27:05,498 –> 00:27:06,666
out of that no.
1255
00:27:06,666 –> 00:27:09,127
And do that work, you know,
1256
00:27:09,127 –> 00:27:09,753
because people are looking
1257
00:27:09,753 –> 00:27:11,171
for Bite-Sized
1258
00:27:11,171 –> 00:27:12,172
chunks as well.
1259
00:27:12,172 –> 00:27:14,633
You know, a lot of the time
1260
00:27:14,633 –> 00:27:15,759
that that is
1261
00:27:15,759 –> 00:27:16,926
yeah, that was fantastic.
1262
00:27:16,926 –> 00:27:17,761
Deep dive
1263
00:27:17,761 –> 00:27:19,763
into your Tik Tok experience.
1264
00:27:19,763 –> 00:27:22,265
And I have three questions
1265
00:27:22,265 –> 00:27:23,516
that I always ask
1266
00:27:23,516 –> 00:27:24,392
at the end of this
1267
00:27:24,392 –> 00:27:26,269
new format marketing help.
1268
00:27:26,269 –> 00:27:29,856
And so the first question is
1269
00:27:30,273 –> 00:27:33,026
What… and I probably know
1270
00:27:33,026 –> 00:27:33,610
what the answer is,
1271
00:27:33,610 –> 00:27:35,278
but I was one
1272
00:27:35,278 –> 00:27:36,488
marketing technique.
1273
00:27:36,488 –> 00:27:36,863
Have you
1274
00:27:36,863 –> 00:27:38,531
used in the last year
1275
00:27:38,531 –> 00:27:39,991
or so that has been
1276
00:27:39,991 –> 00:27:41,409
particularly effective
1277
00:27:42,661 –> 00:27:43,411
Tik Tok
1278
00:27:44,496 –> 00:27:44,746
Yeah.
1279
00:27:44,746 –> 00:27:47,415
So will be Tik Tok for me.
1280
00:27:47,499 –> 00:27:49,292
I do do YouTube a little bit,
1281
00:27:49,292 –> 00:27:50,627
but that’s not
1282
00:27:50,627 –> 00:27:51,169
it’s kind of fallen
1283
00:27:51,169 –> 00:27:52,253
by the wayside a little bit,
1284
00:27:52,253 –> 00:27:54,005
but definitely Tik Tok.
1285
00:27:54,005 –> 00:27:55,757
Um, Instagram
1286
00:27:55,757 –> 00:27:56,132
Tik Tok
1287
00:27:56,132 –> 00:27:56,633
are my main
1288
00:27:56,633 –> 00:27:57,258
social media
1289
00:27:57,258 –> 00:27:58,760
I’m not really
1290
00:27:58,760 –> 00:28:00,387
on Facebook.
1291
00:28:00,804 –> 00:28:01,638
I don’t,
1292
00:28:01,638 –> 00:28:02,263
I don’t
1293
00:28:02,514 –> 00:28:03,139
fully understand
1294
00:28:03,139 –> 00:28:04,307
Facebook anymore.
1295
00:28:04,307 –> 00:28:05,141
But definitely
1296
00:28:05,141 –> 00:28:06,393
it has to be Tik Tok.
1297
00:28:06,393 –> 00:28:08,144
Um, and
1298
00:28:08,144 –> 00:28:09,646
I’ve been very fortunate
1299
00:28:09,646 –> 00:28:10,980
that I have garnered
1300
00:28:10,980 –> 00:28:12,148
the following that I have
1301
00:28:12,148 –> 00:28:14,275
in the last few months.
1302
00:28:14,275 –> 00:28:15,735
And seen the benefits of that
1303
00:28:15,735 –> 00:28:17,987
not only,
1304
00:28:17,987 –> 00:28:20,156
the build up, the build,
1305
00:28:21,491 –> 00:28:22,659
the increased networking
1306
00:28:22,659 –> 00:28:23,284
and stuff off
1307
00:28:23,284 –> 00:28:24,160
of other creators
1308
00:28:24,160 –> 00:28:25,370
and also potential clients.
1309
00:28:25,370 –> 00:28:26,871
Something I didn’t mention is
1310
00:28:26,871 –> 00:28:29,040
I’ve also had
1311
00:28:30,500 –> 00:28:32,043
companies, well known
1312
00:28:32,043 –> 00:28:33,920
camera companies contact me
1313
00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:35,171
and have sent me stuff
1314
00:28:35,171 –> 00:28:37,298
for free,
1315
00:28:37,298 –> 00:28:38,299
which is crazy.
1316
00:28:38,299 –> 00:28:39,008
I never
1317
00:28:39,008 –> 00:28:40,135
thought I’d be a creator
1318
00:28:40,135 –> 00:28:41,010
that people would,
1319
00:28:41,010 –> 00:28:42,637
would send stuff for free.
1320
00:28:42,637 –> 00:28:44,514
But a very big
1321
00:28:45,515 –> 00:28:46,266
I’m well-known
1322
00:28:46,266 –> 00:28:47,267
company in our industry
1323
00:28:47,267 –> 00:28:49,144
would be Aperture
1324
00:28:49,144 –> 00:28:50,812
and I’ve connected
1325
00:28:50,812 –> 00:28:51,354
with them and,
1326
00:28:51,354 –> 00:28:52,147
and they have sent me
1327
00:28:52,147 –> 00:28:52,731
quite a number of
1328
00:28:52,731 –> 00:28:53,356
things as well.
1329
00:28:53,356 –> 00:28:54,858
So I’ve definitely,
1330
00:28:54,858 –> 00:28:56,276
definitely say Tik Tok
1331
00:28:56,276 –> 00:28:56,985
is, is,
1332
00:28:56,985 –> 00:28:58,611
has been a huge benefit
1333
00:28:58,611 –> 00:28:59,487
to my business so far.
1334
00:28:59,487 –> 00:29:00,363
I’m a little jealous.
1335
00:29:00,363 –> 00:29:01,906
I’m a little bit yeah.
1336
00:29:01,906 –> 00:29:03,241
So I’m jealous of myself
1337
00:29:03,241 –> 00:29:03,783
and I.
1338
00:29:03,908 –> 00:29:04,868
Yeah, yeah.
1339
00:29:04,868 –> 00:29:05,994
Getting the stuff.
1340
00:29:05,994 –> 00:29:07,787
Yeah. Very good. Okay.
1341
00:29:07,787 –> 00:29:09,372
And
1342
00:29:09,372 –> 00:29:11,750
so with your unique viewpoint
1343
00:29:11,750 –> 00:29:13,668
related to content creation
1344
00:29:13,668 –> 00:29:15,253
and particularly on Tik Tok,
1345
00:29:15,253 –> 00:29:16,880
I know their socials,
1346
00:29:16,880 –> 00:29:18,381
how do you think
1347
00:29:18,381 –> 00:29:19,758
it’s going to evolve
1348
00:29:19,758 –> 00:29:22,677
in the next year or so?
1349
00:29:23,428 –> 00:29:25,388
That’s a very good question
1350
00:29:25,388 –> 00:29:29,184
because I don’t think video
1351
00:29:29,184 –> 00:29:30,018
is,
1352
00:29:30,018 –> 00:29:31,144
always
1353
00:29:31,144 –> 00:29:33,104
going to be a prominent way
1354
00:29:33,104 –> 00:29:35,148
of promoting a business,
1355
00:29:35,148 –> 00:29:35,732
how it
1356
00:29:35,732 –> 00:29:36,858
changes and progresses
1357
00:29:36,858 –> 00:29:39,527
in the next few years.
1358
00:29:39,527 –> 00:29:40,111
It’s hard
1359
00:29:40,111 –> 00:29:40,862
to really say
1360
00:29:40,862 –> 00:29:42,030
because if you’d asked me
1361
00:29:42,030 –> 00:29:43,239
that five years ago,
1362
00:29:43,239 –> 00:29:43,865
I wouldn’t have
1363
00:29:43,865 –> 00:29:44,866
thought of Tik
1364
00:29:44,866 –> 00:29:46,493
Tok was this thing.
1365
00:29:46,493 –> 00:29:46,993
That would be
1366
00:29:46,993 –> 00:29:48,244
how it’s evolved into.
1367
00:29:48,244 –> 00:29:49,245
So it’s,
1368
00:29:49,245 –> 00:29:50,413
going to be,
1369
00:29:50,413 –> 00:29:51,039
it’s going to be
1370
00:29:51,039 –> 00:29:51,748
a wait and see.
1371
00:29:51,748 –> 00:29:52,624
I think
1372
00:29:52,791 –> 00:29:54,000
and just adapting
1373
00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:55,376
as, it changes
1374
00:29:55,376 –> 00:29:57,170
and progresses
1375
00:29:57,170 –> 00:29:57,879
and stuff like that.
1376
00:29:57,879 –> 00:29:58,755
So it’s hard to know
1377
00:29:58,755 –> 00:30:00,173
exactly how it’s going to,
1378
00:30:00,173 –> 00:30:01,382
going to,
1379
00:30:01,424 –> 00:30:03,551
to change because it’s,
1380
00:30:03,551 –> 00:30:04,886
it’s moved in such a way.
1381
00:30:04,886 –> 00:30:05,762
I think that maybe
1382
00:30:05,762 –> 00:30:06,763
a few years ago, as I said,
1383
00:30:06,763 –> 00:30:08,014
people might not realise this
1384
00:30:08,014 –> 00:30:09,182
the way it was going to go.
1385
00:30:09,182 –> 00:30:10,016
I think the short
1386
00:30:10,016 –> 00:30:11,392
form content
1387
00:30:11,392 –> 00:30:12,519
is going to be
1388
00:30:12,519 –> 00:30:14,354
king for a while. Um,
1389
00:30:15,355 –> 00:30:16,481
as well as like
1390
00:30:16,481 –> 00:30:17,774
I do those
1391
00:30:17,774 –> 00:30:18,608
lip sync videos
1392
00:30:18,608 –> 00:30:19,484
and those short videos
1393
00:30:19,484 –> 00:30:20,235
because they’re short
1394
00:30:20,235 –> 00:30:21,277
and snappy,
1395
00:30:21,277 –> 00:30:22,612
but then as I said,
1396
00:30:22,612 –> 00:30:24,030
I kind of bring in content
1397
00:30:24,030 –> 00:30:24,405
as well.
1398
00:30:24,405 –> 00:30:26,115
That is a little bit longer
1399
00:30:26,115 –> 00:30:27,116
because I have,
1400
00:30:27,116 –> 00:30:27,617
I suppose
1401
00:30:27,617 –> 00:30:28,368
created a little bit
1402
00:30:28,368 –> 00:30:28,910
of a connection
1403
00:30:28,910 –> 00:30:30,620
with my followers
1404
00:30:30,620 –> 00:30:32,997
and so I know that
1405
00:30:32,997 –> 00:30:33,623
they’re interested
1406
00:30:33,623 –> 00:30:33,998
in my work.
1407
00:30:33,998 –> 00:30:34,666
So they are going
1408
00:30:34,666 –> 00:30:35,750
to watch the longer stuff
1409
00:30:35,750 –> 00:30:37,752
because I’ve kind of built
1410
00:30:37,752 –> 00:30:38,753
that up with them.
the portrait style videography
1411
00:30:38,753 –> 00:30:40,004
So I think
1412
00:30:40,004 –> 00:30:41,798
the short form the,
1413
00:30:41,798 –> 00:30:43,424
the portrait
1414
00:30:43,424 –> 00:30:45,760
style videography is
1415
00:30:45,760 –> 00:30:46,886
going to be quite popular
1416
00:30:46,886 –> 00:30:48,054
I think for a while.
1417
00:30:48,054 –> 00:30:50,014
But I don’t think that means
1418
00:30:50,014 –> 00:30:53,017
we move away from horizontal,
1419
00:30:53,017 –> 00:30:53,893
horizontal videos
1420
00:30:53,893 –> 00:30:55,812
because there is something
1421
00:30:55,812 –> 00:30:56,646
that you,
1422
00:30:56,646 –> 00:30:57,772
you lose
1423
00:30:57,772 –> 00:30:59,357
in terms of storytelling
1424
00:30:59,357 –> 00:31:01,025
when you go to portrait
1425
00:31:01,025 –> 00:31:02,277
and I think horizontal
1426
00:31:02,277 –> 00:31:03,236
will always,
1427
00:31:03,236 –> 00:31:04,487
always be the way
1428
00:31:04,487 –> 00:31:06,406
the king in terms of
1429
00:31:06,406 –> 00:31:08,283
composition and stuff.
1430
00:31:08,283 –> 00:31:10,660
But how, it will
1431
00:31:10,660 –> 00:31:11,494
how it will change
1432
00:31:11,494 –> 00:31:12,036
and progress
1433
00:31:12,036 –> 00:31:13,121
over the next few years
1434
00:31:13,121 –> 00:31:15,248
is who knows.
1435
00:31:15,748 –> 00:31:17,000
Yeah. Who knows exactly.
1436
00:31:17,000 –> 00:31:17,417
I knew that
1437
00:31:17,417 –> 00:31:18,626
I’d start preparing now
1438
00:31:18,626 –> 00:31:19,752
but it’s
1439
00:31:19,752 –> 00:31:20,169
you know what,
1440
00:31:20,169 –> 00:31:21,129
it’ll be fun to see
1441
00:31:21,129 –> 00:31:22,630
how it changes and progresses
1442
00:31:22,630 –> 00:31:24,132
and adapting with that
1443
00:31:24,132 –> 00:31:24,757
I guess.
1444
00:31:24,757 –> 00:31:25,049
Yeah.
1445
00:31:25,049 –> 00:31:25,758
No, definitely
1446
00:31:25,758 –> 00:31:27,260
I agree with that. Like that.
1447
00:31:27,260 –> 00:31:27,635
The move
1448
00:31:27,635 –> 00:31:28,887
to portrait for socials,
1449
00:31:28,887 –> 00:31:30,388
I think is it’s here
1450
00:31:30,388 –> 00:31:31,639
and LinkedIn
1451
00:31:31,639 –> 00:31:32,390
and all of those are going
1452
00:31:32,390 –> 00:31:32,640
are going
1453
00:31:32,640 –> 00:31:33,641
to follow it as well.
1454
00:31:34,642 –> 00:31:35,310
But definitely
1455
00:31:35,310 –> 00:31:36,519
we go to a cinema.
1456
00:31:36,519 –> 00:31:38,104
We don’t want it portrayed.
1457
00:31:38,104 –> 00:31:40,982
We want that wide screen so
1458
00:31:40,982 –> 00:31:41,983
that that that’s
1459
00:31:41,983 –> 00:31:43,860
I think that will remain
1460
00:31:43,860 –> 00:31:44,402
very good.
1461
00:31:44,402 –> 00:31:47,238
And lastly at what
1462
00:31:47,238 –> 00:31:49,490
one piece of business advice
1463
00:31:49,782 –> 00:31:51,242
that you have, got in
1464
00:31:51,242 –> 00:31:52,368
the past
1465
00:31:52,368 –> 00:31:53,411
has stuck with you
1466
00:31:53,411 –> 00:31:54,621
and you still follow
1467
00:31:54,621 –> 00:31:56,623
or try to follow
1468
00:31:58,666 –> 00:31:59,000
Okay.
1469
00:31:59,000 –> 00:32:00,043
That’s another good question.
1470
00:32:00,043 –> 00:32:02,420
I don’t know if I’ve
1471
00:32:02,420 –> 00:32:04,505
received any direct
1472
00:32:05,131 –> 00:32:06,883
business advice that I can say
1473
00:32:06,883 –> 00:32:07,508
That’s really
1474
00:32:07,508 –> 00:32:09,010
like stuck with me.
1475
00:32:09,010 –> 00:32:10,136
It’s more
1476
00:32:10,136 –> 00:32:11,930
what I have learnt
1477
00:32:11,930 –> 00:32:14,057
by observing other businesses
1478
00:32:14,057 –> 00:32:14,891
and, and
1479
00:32:14,891 –> 00:32:17,769
working with other businesses
1480
00:32:17,894 –> 00:32:19,062
like I.
1481
00:32:19,062 –> 00:32:20,647
I worked with a business
1482
00:32:20,647 –> 00:32:21,356
for four years
1483
00:32:21,356 –> 00:32:22,148
before I moved
1484
00:32:22,148 –> 00:32:23,232
and started doing this
1485
00:32:23,232 –> 00:32:24,484
full time
1486
00:32:24,484 –> 00:32:25,777
and I kind of learnt
1487
00:32:25,777 –> 00:32:27,028
what not to do in a business
1488
00:32:27,028 –> 00:32:28,029
working in that business.
1489
00:32:28,029 –> 00:32:30,156
So I think I’ve, I’ve,
1490
00:32:30,156 –> 00:32:30,782
I’ve, in
1491
00:32:30,782 –> 00:32:31,783
terms of business advice,
1492
00:32:31,783 –> 00:32:32,784
I’ve learnt myself
1493
00:32:32,784 –> 00:32:34,410
by interacting with,
1494
00:32:34,410 –> 00:32:36,120
with other businesses and,
1495
00:32:36,120 –> 00:32:39,666
and noticing trends with,
1496
00:32:39,666 –> 00:32:40,750
with certain businesses
1497
00:32:40,750 –> 00:32:41,542
that are like,
1498
00:32:41,542 –> 00:32:41,876
okay,
1499
00:32:41,876 –> 00:32:42,877
we’re not going to align
1500
00:32:42,877 –> 00:32:44,128
very well here sort of thing,
1501
00:32:45,546 –> 00:32:47,048
but there are,
1502
00:32:47,048 –> 00:32:47,757
I am big
1503
00:32:47,757 –> 00:32:50,385
on like quotes and stuff
1504
00:32:50,385 –> 00:32:52,387
and I can’t remember exactly
1505
00:32:52,762 –> 00:32:53,262
the quote
1506
00:32:53,262 –> 00:32:54,889
Now but
1507
00:32:54,889 –> 00:32:56,015
Casey Neistat
1508
00:32:56,015 –> 00:32:56,891
I don’t know if you,
1509
00:32:56,891 –> 00:32:58,059
you know of him
1510
00:32:58,059 –> 00:33:00,061
not I said is a very big
1511
00:33:00,061 –> 00:33:01,020
well-known
1512
00:33:01,020 –> 00:33:02,730
YouTuber and content
1513
00:33:02,730 –> 00:33:04,107
creator and filmmaker
1514
00:33:04,107 –> 00:33:05,900
from America
1515
00:33:05,900 –> 00:33:07,110
and there’s a lot of things
1516
00:33:07,110 –> 00:33:09,028
that he has said
1517
00:33:09,654 –> 00:33:10,238
over the years
1518
00:33:10,238 –> 00:33:12,031
and that was my main
1519
00:33:12,031 –> 00:33:13,282
motivation and inspiration
1520
00:33:13,282 –> 00:33:14,534
for taking on
1521
00:33:14,534 –> 00:33:15,243
videography and,
1522
00:33:15,243 –> 00:33:16,869
and giving that a proper go.
1523
00:33:16,869 –> 00:33:18,287
And I think it was
1524
00:33:18,287 –> 00:33:19,789
something like
1525
00:33:19,789 –> 00:33:21,374
something about
1526
00:33:23,001 –> 00:33:24,168
taking risks and stuff
1527
00:33:24,168 –> 00:33:24,502
like that.
1528
00:33:24,502 –> 00:33:24,752
I can’t
1529
00:33:24,752 –> 00:33:25,878
remember the quote exactly,
1530
00:33:25,878 –> 00:33:27,296
but he said
1531
00:33:27,296 –> 00:33:28,506
life is
1532
00:33:28,506 –> 00:33:29,257
worth taking
1533
00:33:29,257 –> 00:33:31,009
risk for something.
1534
00:33:31,009 –> 00:33:31,426
So there’s a
1535
00:33:31,426 –> 00:33:32,135
few different quotes
1536
00:33:32,135 –> 00:33:32,510
that he’s
1537
00:33:32,510 –> 00:33:32,885
he said
1538
00:33:32,885 –> 00:33:33,386
over the years
1539
00:33:33,386 –> 00:33:34,554
that have kind of,
1540
00:33:34,887 –> 00:33:35,888
I suppose, inspired me
1541
00:33:35,888 –> 00:33:37,306
to, with business
1542
00:33:37,306 –> 00:33:37,765
and stuff.
1543
00:33:37,765 –> 00:33:39,392
But there’s no been
1544
00:33:39,392 –> 00:33:39,892
there has been
1545
00:33:39,892 –> 00:33:40,893
any direct business
1546
00:33:40,893 –> 00:33:42,395
advice it’s
1547
00:33:42,395 –> 00:33:43,646
been a slow learning
1548
00:33:43,646 –> 00:33:44,272
and looking.
1549
00:33:44,272 –> 00:33:46,024
Yeah.
1550
00:33:46,024 –> 00:33:46,482
Exactly.
1551
00:33:46,482 –> 00:33:47,608
And, and that and
1552
00:33:47,608 –> 00:33:48,276
and I get that
1553
00:33:48,276 –> 00:33:49,485
with Casey now.
1554
00:33:49,485 –> 00:33:50,361
He says it’s what I like
1555
00:33:50,361 –> 00:33:50,987
because he
1556
00:33:51,612 –> 00:33:53,114
he pushed the boundaries
1557
00:33:53,114 –> 00:33:55,116
of what people thought
1558
00:33:55,116 –> 00:33:56,159
video should be
1559
00:33:56,159 –> 00:33:57,493
and the way he cut things.
1560
00:33:57,493 –> 00:33:59,662
And it was a little bit
1561
00:33:59,662 –> 00:34:00,621
more raw in
1562
00:34:00,621 –> 00:34:01,789
what he did as well.
1563
00:34:03,499 –> 00:34:05,668
So I did it.
1564
00:34:05,752 –> 00:34:06,794
Thanks for
1565
00:34:06,794 –> 00:34:07,628
this chat like
1566
00:34:07,628 –> 00:34:08,880
like I’ve learnt a lot
1567
00:34:08,880 –> 00:34:09,422
like that’s,
1568
00:34:09,422 –> 00:34:10,673
that’s part of the marketing
1569
00:34:10,673 –> 00:34:11,132
all right.
1570
00:34:11,132 –> 00:34:11,924
So basically
1571
00:34:11,924 –> 00:34:13,009
I just go out and go,
1572
00:34:13,009 –> 00:34:13,676
I want to learn
1573
00:34:13,676 –> 00:34:14,510
more about this area.
1574
00:34:14,510 –> 00:34:15,428
Ah, I’m interested in
1575
00:34:15,428 –> 00:34:17,013
this as well and,
1576
00:34:17,013 –> 00:34:17,889
and hopefully that,
1577
00:34:17,889 –> 00:34:18,389
that would
1578
00:34:18,389 –> 00:34:20,308
well that will
1579
00:34:20,308 –> 00:34:21,517
give some good value
1580
00:34:21,517 –> 00:34:24,020
to listeners and viewers.
Guest contact
1581
00:34:24,020 –> 00:34:26,105
So before we finish,
1582
00:34:26,105 –> 00:34:27,356
can you just
1583
00:34:27,356 –> 00:34:28,733
give us a contact
1584
00:34:28,733 –> 00:34:29,609
email and website
1585
00:34:29,609 –> 00:34:31,235
and your website details
1586
00:34:31,235 –> 00:34:31,986
if people want to get
1587
00:34:31,986 –> 00:34:33,154
in contact.
1588
00:34:33,362 –> 00:34:34,155
Yeah.
1589
00:34:34,363 –> 00:34:36,282
So my name is Leah Barbour
1590
00:34:36,282 –> 00:34:37,992
and as Paul mentioned, I’m
1591
00:34:37,992 –> 00:34:38,493
the owner
1592
00:34:38,493 –> 00:34:38,993
and founder
1593
00:34:38,993 –> 00:34:40,369
of Penny Productions
1594
00:34:40,369 –> 00:34:42,538
so you can find me on
1595
00:34:42,538 –> 00:34:43,247
my website
1596
00:34:43,247 –> 00:34:44,874
PennyProductions.ie
1597
00:34:44,874 –> 00:34:46,042
and my email is
1598
00:34:46,042 –> 00:34:47,126
Leah@Pennyproduction.ie
1599
00:34:48,252 –> 00:34:50,421
And then for my socials
1600
00:34:50,421 –> 00:34:51,631
Tik Tok and Instagram
1601
00:34:51,631 –> 00:34:52,757
are both at
1602
00:34:52,757 –> 00:34:53,758
PennyProductions.ie
1603
00:34:53,758 –> 00:34:54,884
so, try to keep
1604
00:34:54,884 –> 00:34:56,260
it fairly simple. So
1605
00:34:58,888 –> 00:35:00,181
and I just
1606
00:35:00,181 –> 00:35:02,183
quickly looked up that quote
1607
00:35:02,183 –> 00:35:03,184
from Casey Neistat,
1608
00:35:03,184 –> 00:35:03,935
and he said that
1609
00:35:03,935 –> 00:35:05,394
the biggest risk
1610
00:35:05,394 –> 00:35:07,230
is to take no risk at all.
1611
00:35:07,230 –> 00:35:09,357
So, I think that was
1612
00:35:09,357 –> 00:35:10,483
a very good quote.
1613
00:35:10,483 –> 00:35:12,652
And then that’s great advice
1614
00:35:12,652 –> 00:35:13,653
to finish up on.
1615
00:35:13,653 –> 00:35:15,738
Thanks very much, Leah.
1616
00:35:15,738 –> 00:35:16,739
Thank you very much, Paul.
1617
00:35:16,739 –> 00:35:17,073
Thank you
