1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:05,850
So another thing that I actually want to drill home is because a lot of people get, you know, scared

2
00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:10,770
or worried or they have a lot of fear, even if they're not saying it out loud, you know, to other

3
00:00:10,770 --> 00:00:15,930
people about getting in front of a camera like this, putting yourself on screen and speaking out to

4
00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:20,010
the world and then posting those videos on a public site like YouTube, for example.

5
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:24,690
Now, obviously, I think that this is personally the best way to go because it comes off a little bit

6
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:27,420
more personable to the audience when you're getting in front of the camera.

7
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:27,690
Right.

8
00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:28,980
A lot like this.

9
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:34,620
That said, you don't actually believe it or not, need to do this to make money with affiliate marketing.

10
00:00:34,890 --> 00:00:36,240
Like, we're going to talk about this course.

11
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:36,440
OK.

12
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:38,160
You do not want to hit this home.

13
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:43,680
You do not have to get in front of the computer and actually show the computer, the camera.

14
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:48,300
You don't have to get in front of the camera and show your face to actually make good money with affiliate

15
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:49,170
marketing and content.

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,150
What you can do, there's many other ways to do it is to actually do a screen recording video where

17
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:56,490
you don't actually even need to show your face or something.

18
00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:57,870
Simply just do a voiceover.

19
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:58,080
OK.

20
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:02,610
And if you're creating good videos that are engaging and have good information, it's not going to matter.

21
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:07,390
It's going to matter, but it's not going to matter a whole lot if you're not in front of the camera.

22
00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:07,620
Right.

23
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:12,420
If, in fact, if you're not comfortable yet, what I'd recommend is either to get in front of the camera

24
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:16,260
and get comfortable and just literally press the record button and start going about your day to day

25
00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:16,500
life.

26
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:19,250
And speaking to the camera like it was a friend or a person.

27
00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:19,510
Right.

28
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:21,910
And then you can just literally toss that video.

29
00:01:21,930 --> 00:01:22,650
It doesn't matter.

30
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:25,170
The whole point of it is getting comfortable in front of the camera.

31
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:30,270
But the other thing that I'd recommend is just forget about the camera or forget about your phone.

32
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:30,500
Right.

33
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:32,100
Don't even use it to record.

34
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:37,410
Just focus on recording voiceovers or, you know, creating screen recordings on the computer.

35
00:01:37,770 --> 00:01:42,900
Now, regardless of which way you teach, you decide eventually you're going to get more and more comfortable

36
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,790
with the idea of getting in front of a camera, which is ultimately the main goal long term.

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,690
But you don't need to do that in the beginning, to be perfectly honest with you.

38
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,920
I think for the first year to maybe year and a half might not have been that long.

39
00:01:55,940 --> 00:02:00,240
Let's say a year, because they have got to be pretty safe assumption for the first year of me creating

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,210
content, selling online courses and creating a YouTube channel.

41
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:08,740
I built my entire YouTube channel from like zero to like ten thousand subscribers without ever getting

42
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:09,510
in front of the camera.

43
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:11,000
I never showed my face.

44
00:02:11,010 --> 00:02:12,780
I didn't show my face on a screen recording.

45
00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:16,710
I literally just recorded my screen and I didn't show my face on camera either.

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:16,970
Right.

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,290
So I built my YouTube channel.

48
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:21,120
Ten thousand subscribers doing that and made considerable money.

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,360
And honestly, I built my entire instructor profiles across the multitude of sites that I'm on prob

50
00:02:27,450 --> 00:02:31,220
realistically probably like one hundred thousand students or so, maybe a little bit less.

51
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:35,810
The whole point is I built that pretty significantly and turned it into a full time income.

52
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:39,540
And I never got in front of the camera or recorded my face.

53
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:43,860
So I'm the reason I'm telling you that obviously I'm doing that now because I think it converts a lot

54
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:44,190
better.

55
00:02:44,190 --> 00:02:45,210
It builds a lot of trust.

56
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:46,230
You know, I'm leveling with you.

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,850
I'm speaking directly to you.

58
00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:50,400
And I think that that comes off a little bit better to the viewer.

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,140
So it's something I'd recommend that you do.

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200
But you don't need to if you don't want to when you're starting out.

61
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:58,230
And that's proof that I didn't either can go back.

62
00:02:58,570 --> 00:03:02,370
I know the ego in me tells you not to because it's embarrassing.

63
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:07,560
But if you go back to, like some of my original courses and some of the original lectures on my courses

64
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:11,910
and some of the original YouTube videos, if you go to my YouTube channel and you go like all the way

65
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:14,460
back to, like the first videos, they're not one.

66
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:17,110
They're horrible, which is a good thing because it means that I've been proved right.

67
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:18,450
So always keep that in mind.

68
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:19,590
It's OK to be bad.

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:19,870
Right.

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,420
And actually, when I pull up really fast, a quote on Twitter that I just posted or recently, I'll

71
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:27,030
end this video with X, I think it will hit it home a little bit better.

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,860
But so what I'm basically trying to say is you don't need to get in front of the camera.

73
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:32,380
OK.

74
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,300
There's so many other ways to do it now.

75
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:38,220
I wrote down a couple of touching points really fast because I want to make sure that I hit these home.

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,140
There's two other options that you can utilize that are very, very good at screen recording.

77
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:46,770
If you're not getting in front of the camera, and that's what I'd recommend for you, is either obese

78
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,480
and lose.

79
00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:53,520
OK, now I've done an entire overview of how you can record yourself via the phone or via Loom, so

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,900
I'll make sure to link that video.

81
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:59,010
I believe I've linked it one other time in this course, but I want to make sure that you guys get to

82
00:03:59,010 --> 00:03:59,820
it if you need to.

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,530
It's not the highest production quality video because I recorded it to answer a question for a student.

84
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:07,740
So I'm literally just recording it for my phone to show everything, literally.

85
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:11,970
So you can see like like you're literally in my office with me and you see the behind the scenes.

86
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:13,690
So it doesn't actually fit the.

87
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:17,280
The production quality requirements to be uploaded here.

88
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:18,540
But I linked to it.

89
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:22,740
If you download the actual word document, it's going to have the link to that video on this lecture

90
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,380
and then you go check it out and get all that insight for yourself.

91
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,180
That's the first thing.

92
00:04:27,450 --> 00:04:31,830
So either or Saloom, they're both very, very easy to use, both very, very easy to setup.

93
00:04:32,370 --> 00:04:36,660
And, you know, realistically, like I said, you can just record your screen and start that way.

94
00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:37,970
It'll make you more and more comfortable.

95
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:42,840
And then once you start to see honestly, it's like proof by like seeing the numbers, once you start

96
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,450
to see that you're making money, it will inspire you to get a little bit better.

97
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:46,080
Important.

98
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:50,700
Put more energy and effort into it and eventually you might up it end up in front of the camera, even

99
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,050
if it's like a year or two from now.

100
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:52,890
That's all right.

101
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,160
Okay.

102
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:56,100
So to end this video with a little bit of inspiration.

103
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,920
The thing that I tweeted that I did, I actually make this quote up.

104
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:59,700
It's actually I forget.

105
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:04,730
She said it, but it's something that I've literally tweeted and posted like, I don't know, ten times

106
00:05:04,730 --> 00:05:08,420
throughout the entirety of my content creation journey because it always inspires me.

107
00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:13,130
I think it's a good reminder for new creators that it's all right to be bad and you should actually

108
00:05:13,130 --> 00:05:14,810
expect that you're not going to be that good.

109
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,020
OK.

110
00:05:15,470 --> 00:05:21,620
So the tweet is, if you're not completely embarrassed by your first video course or products, you

111
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:24,170
probably didn't start early enough.

112
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,310
And I think that that really communicates, you know, that it's OK to not be perfect in the beginning.

113
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:30,950
You'll get better as you go, just like I referenced before.

114
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:32,840
Like my first videos were terrible.

115
00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:33,140
Right.

116
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:37,580
And chances are, I'll look back at this video a year or two from now and think that this video is terrible.

117
00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:40,160
But that's a good thing because it means that I'm improving.

118
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:41,480
So always remember that.

119
00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:42,530
Don't be afraid to start.

120
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:44,570
It doesn't have to be perfect.
