?? Stop Guessing: Here’s the Checklist to Nail Your Next Video

I've always said that making great video content is simple... Not easy. It's hard work, but you can do it!

If you’re ready to level up your appearance on camera, you need more than just great footage—you need a plan. Let’s walk through the key steps that can take your video content from ‘just okay’ to ‘wow, this is actually working.’

Trust me, these tips will save you time, headaches, and help you make videos that actually drive results.

1. Pre-Production Planning

Let’s start with pre-production. If you don’t plan ahead, you’re setting yourself up for a mess. Think of this as your blueprint—figure out your goals, outline your content, and get organized. This upfront work will save you hours of frustration later on. Trust me, it’s worth it. Here is a free tool to help you with the "planning" phase.

Folder Structure - Having everything organized and ready before you ever hit record is 75% of the battle won before you even film anything.

2. Content Strategy

Random videos won’t cut it anymore. You need a strategy. Are you building authority, generating leads, or educating your audience? Think bigger than just one-off videos—create a series or a campaign that keeps your audience coming back and keeps your brand front and center. Here is a Notion page overview of the "Solar System Methodology " Strategy that we teach our clients, and a YouTube Video that covers the framework as well.

3. Technical Know-How

You don’t need to be a tech genius to shoot great videos, but knowing the basics of camera settings, lighting, and audio will go a long way. It’s not about fancy gear—it’s about making sure the equipment you’re using enhances your message, not distracts from it.

Here is a free tool called the "Ultimate Video Studio Setup " guide to help you nail this part!

4. Post-Production Tips

Editing is where the real magic happens. Even small tweaks—clean cuts, transitions, and overlays—can make your videos feel polished and professional. Don’t rush through post-production. This is your chance to elevate your content. You can shape a story from a simple talking head video if you learn the simple ins and outs of video editing... or, pay the pros to do it !

5. Promotion Tactics

A great video won’t do much if no one sees it. Once your video is ready, focus on promotion. Think SEO, social media, and email campaigns to get your content in front of the right audience. Think packaging if you want your YouTube video to find your intended audience. With the right promotion tactics, every video can have a bigger impact and you can find growth over time.
