Turning an idea into a video
- One question, one answer. A video that tries to cover everything ends up saying nothing clearly.
- Open with the question your customers would ask, in their words.
- Keep each line to one idea, and say it out loud to check it sounds natural.
- End with one next step: book, order, call or visit.
