Creator Scale

#053 - Should you put a lot of effort into trying to make something perfect, even if that means you can only create videos irregularly? Or should you have a schedule and stick to it, even if you are releasing sub-par content? In today's episode we debate consistency vs. quality and which you should strive for most. We also discuss how you can go about achieving both, if you should even attempt to do that, and how the types of content you make may decide it for you.

#048 - When I had a desk job it was easy relax. I would come home, enjoy the weekend, or go on vacation without even thinking about work at all until I was pulling into the parking lot at my job. But when you work for yourself, there are always tasks to do and when you work from anywhere, you can always be getting them done. At first I struggled with being able to relax after I started trying to build an online business. I even quit playing video games a couple years ago, which was how I could best completely check out mentally for an entire evening. But now, instead of escaping into video games even if I'm not "working", my businesses are always on my mind. So how do you escape from your work when you want to take some time off? And how can you come back fully recharged, with a ton of energy, new skills, and ideas for when you return? In this episode I talk about creative distance and how to remove properly yourself from your work.

#047 - It's one of those questions that is best answered with "it depends" because there are so many variables, but there is a real answer if you dig deep enough. How long should a web video be? In this episode we discuss why your videos should differ in length depending on the style of them, the platform they're on, whether you're entertaining or teaching, and what the goals for them are. (And no, we don't just say "two to five minutes", which is what every other website on the web likes to recommend.) October 19,

#044 - Making videos is extremely time consuming. That's why I always recommend batching. Almost every step along the way to making a video can be batch processed. Determining your editorial calendar, copywriting titles, script writing, setting up your equipment, video editing, and more. The most productive part to batch while making videos is the actual filming stage. In this podcast episode we discuss not only why you should batch your videos, but how to get started doing so if you haven't already and our tips for how many you should actually create all at once.
