So we all know that staying consistent posting videos is really hard work specially
when you factor in family and work and your other obligations so in this video
im gonna share with you 5 pro tips secrets and time hacks to help you stay consistent
hey whats up guys Sean here with video influencers helping you build your influence
grow your income and make a greater impact with online video and today im
answering a question that was summited to the survey that we sent out recently and
if you would love to have your question answer I'll link that survey up in the YouTube
description and would love to hear your feedback so that one of your questions could make
it into the future video but today we are talking about how to stay consistent
the first thing that you could do is block time for creating videos whether that's shooting
whether that's
editing and with block time what I mean is that you schedule it and then it makes it
on your
calendar 'cause the reality is what get's schedule get's done
and so I'll schedule shoot days Benji and I we'll set a side time to have like a shoot
day
I know a lot of you that are watching are joggling all kinds of different demands and
you
are trying to do video creation you know on the side and I can think of years where
I was working multiple different jobs in multiple different side hustles and the reality is
that I had to put it in the calendar like Saturday morning was going to be you know
shoot time
and then put it on the calendar that Monday night was going to be edit time
the second tip that is hugely powerful is that when you block time is batch shooting
and what that means is simple just shooting a whole batch of content all at once
and I've done up to 14 videos in a day Benji and I a lot of times in our shoots
we'll try to do 8 and if we release one a week that's gonna be two months' worth of
content now this doesn't work for everybody as a vlogger you definitely maybe
have different challenges but for a lot of people when you are building up around a niche
and your channel has kinda consistent content we sometimes we'll take a whole
bunch of questions from you guys and then just shoot like a questions series
all at once and so how can you batch together your shooting which requires some planning
and requires some preparation but it's totally worth it and it makes it so that you could
be a little clearer
in your thinking you can see further ahead and kinda optimize your energy and then when
you hit a busy season your able to have that content that was store up in case may be
you cant shoot for a while or you have some travel or time off it allows you to
get a head the third tip is really pre production and planning I know early on
one of the big mistakes I made it was when it came to shooting I didn't do enough preparation
ahead of time one of the worst things you can do would be to block time and
try to shoot a batch of content but Saturday morning shows up and you are like ok what
am I going to do and then that's the time you are going to do your planning that's just
not going
to work out very well and you are already gonna kinda be behind and so with pre production
and
planning I like to pre list of videos I constantly have journals upon journals I know
it's old school that I actually use paper still but I love having this journals and
I put down video ideas
and I just did a big planning and research session for this year and came out with like
a
150 video ideas for the different channels that im running some good some not as good
but
It really has me ahead you know so I don't have like writers block im always capturing
ideas
And the other thing in pre shooting this is my routine I shoot a video for my other
channel ThinkMediaTv which is tech and gear reviews dedicated you can check that out
I'll link it up in the YouTube description but this one I don't free style my videos
but I don't also like script them completely and read them up in a teleprompter
I have before and sometimes that's the right thing for the moment but this is usually my
frame
work and what it is is kinda like an intro line
is where the title is going to be and then it's out line with the bullet points so in
this other one
I was reviewing ten different DSLR accessories so I had kinda like all ten list about it
and any notes that
I want to make sure I hit and then I mention I do the outro and anything that I wanna hit
in
the outro this is like an outline basically for the video and so if you created something
like that
you schedule the day and it's you are going to batch produce then I want to go into the
shoot
with every video loosely out line and then once I get on camera I might start to freestyle
and deviate a little bit when Benji and I shoot we'll sit down and maybe grab some food
and even
just write out okay what's the theme or what's the question
what are we going to say and if there's going to be like six points
we just bounce back ok you do one I'll do two you do three I'll do four
and we at least do an outline that's very helpful to be able to be more
effective on your batch shooting day and get more videos done and really probably better
videos that are more organized so that you can stay consistent
the fourth tip for being more consistent with uploading videos
is to speed up your workflow and when I talk about workflow that's the entire
process of making videos and there's really three areas that I think you could speed up
your workflow the first is just editing the reality is that when you are just starting
out
editing it takes time to learn and so you are not going to be that fast
when you just start out as you practice you'll find that you're editing speeds out
and so the best tip there is just repetition don't get discouraged keep editing and
you'll find that you go faster and therefore you're able to just crush videos a lot
more quickly and you can be more consistent
second is speeding up and investing in better hardware for rendering and exporting your
videos which you know depending on how long they are can take quite a while
if you invest in better hardware then you could speed that up and so maybe
this is the time to say this year im going to crush it and I want to speed up my whole
workflow
a couple of tips there is Final Cut X and Adobbe Premiere Pro are both software
that utilize the GPU for kind of the first time and there might be some others now
but that means that tech speak for they just render and export faster on your computer
and so you can research that I'll put some articles too that below
and then the third tip would be faster internet because your upload speed as you know when
I travel
I get so frustrated by internet that's either not even fast enough to upload anything
or that is you know slow and so one of the things that we've invested in specially just
from home office standpoint is fast internet and so whatever you can do you
gotta work with what you have but these are some ways that will help you be more
consistent if you can speed up any part of your workflow you're gonna be able to
crank out more content and then the fifth is Hustle I mean you gotta just hustle
like there's going be times when you feel like quitting when you are tired after a long
day's
work and when you don't feel like staying consistent with your channel but I think
if you make a decision that you know specially this year you are going to crush it
you are going to go all in you are going to you know post videos and build your channel
and you gotta have that hustle that pushes through barriers
and pushes through those frustrating things and says even if im tired
gonna crack open a redbull whatever I you know gotta do drink some coffee
to just get this video done and stay consistent it takes hustle
anybody who's been doing this for very long knows that
that it is hard at times and you gotta push through barriers and
quitting points and just keep going and so I encourage you to keep
hustling and to make a decision to say I'm gonna be consistent
I'm gonna make a video a week all year long 52 videos in a year
at least minimum and whatever takes im gonna do it if I miss a week you know
im gonna forgive myself its gonna be all good but hustle go all in and
really I believe that this year you can crush it with videos question
