| Discover How To Create A Video Product By Writing Your Script |
If you have any ideas about creating video products for the purpose of sale on the internet, you’ve perhaps been throwing round more ideas than thinking what to do with it. This is a simple trap to fall into. It's important to do some brainstorming for concepts in the beginning, but always be sure to place a limit on your concept development stage. If you let it drag on, you'll never get anything done.
Place deadlines for yourself even when you think you don't have to. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're making progress towards your goal when in fact you haven't got anything done.
The failure to focus on one project and carry it through to successful completion is a clear sign that you're procrastinating. If you get a brainstorm for creating video products every day, but you still haven't created a finished product to sell on the Internet, make up your mind to do something about it today.
Set a day to shoot and narrow your focus.
Assume your friends all say you're a natural comedian. You've been playing around with the thought of creating a comedy routine or skit. The only way to get it done is by setting priorities, sticking to a plan, and setting deadlines.
Plan for a day to shoot the video.
You have to do this and stick to it. Move towards this as if you were doing a project for hire. When you force yourself to get things done, you'll start to notice big changes in the results you get. How much time you give yourself depends on how much time you can actually spend working on the project, of course. If you're doing this at night or on the weekends, you evidently need more time than a full-time Internet marketer who is setting up a promotional video for a web site. Get up one hour earlier if that's the only way you can find time to do it. Approach it as a job for one month. Set your shoot for one month from today. Stop thinking about it and start writing a script.
People who get things done know that there is never an ideal time to start. The ones who wait for inspiration before they start a script never get started. As Jack London said, "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." You have to get something down on paper to trigger connections between ideas. My greatest ideas always come during the writing process-never in the "thinking about what to write" stage.
Experience has taught me to start writing and get it all down on paper. When I have a draft initially in front of me, I get inspired. I see all sorts of things I never would have seen without the stimulus of the thoughts that came apparently out of nowhere as I was working on the first draft of my script.
So stop thinking about it and get a script on paper. Then modify, shoot it, and put it up for sale on the Internet. But get started today.
