Carrie Rene Thomas’ Post

"Carrie, what if my audience doesn't care about my video content? What if they're just watching dance trends and transitions?" This is a common concern I hear from clients who haven't started creating videos yet. 🤔❓ But here's the truth: the people who need to hear your message will be there, ready to listen. 👂💡 Don't worry about those who aren't interested. Focus on the ones who have raised their hands and said, "I want to hear your voice. I'm inspired by what you have to share." 🙋♀️✨ Your ideal audience is waiting for you to hit that record button and share your magic with the world. They're the ones who truly matter. 🌍💫 So, trust in the power of your message and the value you bring. Ignore the doubters and create content for those who are eager to connect with you. 🎥💗 If this resonated with you, like, follow, and share to encourage others to fearlessly share their voice on video! 👍👥 #ShareYourMagic #IdealAudienceAwaits #VideoMessageMatters #IgnoreDoubters

Why "Low-Quality" Videos Are the Key to Building Your Audience Ever feel like creating the perfect video is holding you back?   Here’s why embracing “low-quality” could be your growth hack.  Look at JackCole: he was losing subscribers and facing negative comments daily.   But instead of aiming for flawless videos, he focused on consistency—posting every day.   Over time, he turned those losses around, building a loyal audience and now generating over $30,000/month.  His strategy? Simplify:   - **Minimal editing:** Just enough visuals to support his points.   - **Raw, one-take videos:** No cuts, no fancy effects, just authentic content.  Turns out, people connect with the real, unfiltered stuff.   And the best part? You get better with every single video.   So if growth is your goal, stop obsessing over polish and start hitting record.  #contentcreation #growonaudience #videomarketing #consistency

If you're videos are falling flat (the polite way of saying they kind of suck✨) it might be because you're forgetting to answer these 5 crucial questions. 1. Who is the target audience, and what actions or feelings should this video inspire in them? - Your video should feel like it’s speaking to someone, not everyone. Pinpoint your audience so you can connect with the people who matter most. 2. Where will this video be posted? - Knowing where the final videos will live will help influence the style, flow, and editing of your video to maximize results. No, I will not watch a horizontal 20-minute video on Tik Tok. (but I would on Youtube) 3. What’s the Key Takeaway? - Be clear about what you want your audience to remember. Focus on one strong message, or you risk losing their attention along the way. 4. What's your content goal? - Every video needs a purpose. Whether it’s to inform, entertain, or drive sales. Know your goal and let it guide every scene and line. 5. Is This the Right Length? - Attention spans are short! Keep your video as long as it needs to be—no fluff. Better a short, punchy video than one that drags on and loses viewers. Answer these, and you’re already ahead of the game. 🎬 #videoproduction #sanfranciscovideoproduction #bayareavideographer #videoproduction #videomarketing #bayareavideoproduction

✨ Mastering the Art of the Hook ✨ Not every hook needs to be filled with words. In fact, hooks come in many forms—visual, auditory, and even through memes. Here’s how you can captivate your audience: 🔹 Meme Magic: Start your video with a relatable meme to instantly grab attention. It’s a fun way to pull viewers in. 🔹 Visual Actions: Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Use compelling visuals to tell your story without saying a word. 🔹 Silent Impact: Even if you’re not talkative, your video can still make waves. It’s all about how you present yourself and your content. Remember, the script is crucial, but how you represent yourself is even more important. Authenticity is key. Your audience can sense when you’re not being true to yourself. So, if you’re an introvert, embrace it. Don’t try to act like an extrovert. Stay true to your tone and personality. Your uniqueness is what makes your content stand out. 🎥✨ #ContentCreation #VideoMarketing #HookStrategy #Authenticity #BeYourself #MarketingTips #DigitalMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy

The biggest reason I’ve found most businesses don’t create story content surprised me. It’s not the money. What I’ve heard from most is that people feel self-conscious, which creates anxiety even thinking about being in front of a camera. They put so much pressure on themselves to say all the things perfectly… they think they’ve got to nail it on the first take. The good news is, no one nails it the first time, every time! There’s an art to making people feel comfortable and sound confident and authentic in front of the camera, and remember what they need to say. Thankfully, I’ve been helping people with that skill for over a decade now! 🎬✂️ With help from a good cut and polish in the editing room, messages become clear, engaging and authentic. Relying on a pro to help you tell the stories of your brand means you… 1. Showcase your business in a way that people connect to and remember 2. Sound authentic and develop trust with your audience 3. Get a perfect mix of entertainment and education in your content 4. Give people what they want by cutting out the fluff 5. Keep your audience coming back, wanting to hear more If you don’t tell the stories of your brand, someone else will… not always a good thing. So please, get out there and tell your brand’s stories. And if you need help, I got you!! 🤝🏻 #StorytellingAtSea #BoatLifeChronicles #MaritimeStories #Storytime
