Making an online coaching video can seem like a difficult task for individuals who are technology challenged. But, with the right resources, it can be done by even the least technologically skilled among us.

4 Reasons Why You Need Online Coaching Videos

Coaching is a competitive business – anything you can do to increase exposure is good. Making and posting videos online will bring you more exposure and help you sell yourself and your coaching services.

#1 YouTube is a good search engine. Most people don’t think of YouTube as a search engine, but it is. It’s even more widely used than Google when the question starts with, “how to.”

#2 YouTube is global. If you are only concerned with coaching is your geographic area, then you probably don’t need a video. However, if you plan on moving some of your business online, then you need to reach the world! A well-done online coaching video is a great way to brand and market yourself around the globe.

#3 Videos allow you to show your personality to the world. Your personality can be a major factor in potential clients choosing to use your services.

#4 Coaching lends itself to alternate streams of income – and videos are a great way to promote books, DVDs, group coaching, seminars, workshops, and other additional products offered by coaches.

• Animoto. You add photos or videos, select a style, add music from their in-app library, add captions and titles, and Animoto will splice your clips together and add filtering effects. It doesn’t get much easier than this! It’s free to try, but has various monthly plans if you like it.
