What tools should I use with my video? Video Answers. Episode 46.
I’ve said it before, but video is not a magic bullet. While it can use it tell wonderful stories and
show pretty pictures, if that’s all it does, then it’s not a lot of good to you or your business.
But video that’s part of a well thought out and smartly implemented strategy can be an
amazing tool to bring about powerful change for your audience and your business. It’s those
other tools that we’ll talk about in this episode of Video Answers.
In our last episode we talked about the inability of video to fix anything. I also suggested
there are 3 ways you can think of about video. The first way was as a tool.
So in this episode, I want to share 3 specific tools you can use with your video to get amazing
results.
