When customers are seeking professional video help, where do they go? This section shows how we use certain platforms to connect and do business with new customers.<\/p>\n

Upwork<\/h3>\n

We found success with Upwork during the pandemic and it’s still a great resource for finding people seeking video professional help. There are a couple of key things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

Preparing Your Upwork Account<\/strong><\/p>\n

Potential hires look at your Upwork account and whether you have good reviews or not. I spent some time reducing my rates to help build up reviews and work history to get my account in good standing. We haven’t yet had a company account for Socialize that we’ve used to connect with people but may need to go that direction.<\/p>\n

Video Intros<\/strong><\/p>\n

One key that has helped us stand out is sending video introductions. In those videos I would speak about their specific project so they know I made the video for them and then quickly introduce Socialize Video. These need to be 1 to 2 min videos so they’re quick to watch with a call to action to schedule a call.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples you can review as well as a training video on how to use Ecamm Live to quickly make the intro videos.<\/p>\n

Upwork Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a tool called TypeDesk<\/a> that let’s me easily copy chunks of text in my proposals. Here are the statements I use. When I’m reaching out to someone’s I’ll say:<\/p>\n

This is right up my alley! I made a quick video talking about your project and introducing myself:[insert video link]Here’s a video compilation of several projects: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/665317152Let’s schedule a time to chat: https:\/\/socialize.flywheelsites.com\/jeff-2\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I’ve been invited to give a proposal for a project I say:<\/p>\n

Thanks for the invite! I made a quick video talking about your project and introducing myself:[insert video link]Here’s a video compilation of several projects: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/665317152Let’s schedule a time to chat: https:\/\/socialize.flywheelsites.com\/jeff-2\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also keep handy other links to case studies and such.<\/p>\n

Craigslist<\/h3>\n

There are a lot of businesses going to Craigslist to find local people to come film and even edit their videos. They may think they’ll get best results by going local but that’s not always the case. Often we just need to let them know that we’re an option they should consider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","yoast_head":"\nSocialize Video<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/socialize.flywheelsites.com\/course\/upwork-such\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Upwork & Such -
