She shares exactly what you need to get started and says this: don't let equipment be your excuse to not start! If you have a smart phone you can make a video right now.Now when you're actually creating your video keep in mind who your audience is and what their interests are. Videos on YouTube or other platforms fall under the same umbrella as other content material: it isn't a pitchfest for you and your products or services. Whatever you're sharing it should be about your audience. What do they need? What can you offer them right now to solve a pain, discomfort of theirs? THAT is what you need to be creating a video about.Invariably this leads to the next step: where are you going to share your videos? YouTube is the obvious platform but Facebook also has a video feature. Do you need to be on both? Do you need to be on Twitter, Snapchat and Periscope too?Amy's advice: stick to one or maybe two places and knock it out of the park there before moving on to other spaces. Choose your medium (video or otherwise), choose your one or two social media outlets and rule there, then expand. You definitely don't and shouldn't be everywhere at once. Think about it: would you rather be exceptional at one or two spaces or mediocre at six? Choose exceptional.Also on today's show we also discuss her first content strategy, how she evolved and when she really hit her groove with Savvy Sexy Social. Listen in for some golden nuggets!
