Step 2: Choose a Creative Approach
Success Story: Mike Chang’s Six Pack Shortcuts
On March 1, 2010, fitness entrepreneur Mike Chang
decided to shoot a simple four-minute exercise routine
and post it to YouTube. It was a good start and Mike
stuck with it, adding more videos and promoting them
with video ads.
Today, Mike has more than 89 videos on his channel
with more than 82 million views: different types of
videos that market his business to distinct audiences.
He uses educational videos to demonstrate specific
routines, testimonials to show customer success stories,
and even parody videos to entertain his viewers.
On the following pages, you’ll find some creative themes you can use to make
a video in just a few hours. The three main categories are informational,
educational, and sales.
