It's so easy to get seduced by views and engagement, but ultimately sales are what we're all here for, and video absolutely delivers them. The research backs it up: 85% of consumers say videos help them make a buying decision, and 82% of marketers say social media video gives them a positive ROI.

You can only track what people click, but real buyer journeys are far messier: someone watches your YouTube video, then buys through an email link days later, or watches Alex Hormozi and goes straight to Amazon to type in his book title. The two big mistakes are ditching video because "you can't attribute anything to it" or treating it as a soft awareness-only channel. Even the trackable stuff alone shows a huge ROI; the untrackable stuff is a bonus on top.

When we ran our web design agency, high-end clients paying tens of thousands didn't choose us because our websites were wildly different from the competition's. They chose us because they liked us. Unless you offer something literally nobody else can, you are the differentiator, and video is how people decide "I could actually imagine working with them."

Short, snappy 30 to 60 second videos posted consistently are your giant fishing net (Lyndsay's metaphor, don't judge). Nobody hands over ten grand off the back of one Reel; it compounds day in, day out until people label you as "the person who helps with X". And crucially, don't just teach: anyone can get teaching from ChatGPT now, so it's your opinion, your take and mindset-shifting ideas that earn the follow.

This is where your frameworks, systems and intellectual property come in: Loom-style videos walking through your methodology with diagrams (who doesn't love a good diagram?), like our Content Fortress or Daniel Priestley's two-person scout team. We've generated hundreds of thousands of pounds off the back of sales calls where we simply share a diagram of our system. It's work to package your process up, which is exactly why most people don't do it.

The direct pitch: a personalised video sent straight to a prospect ("Hi Jenny, I spotted a few things on your LinkedIn you could improve...") or a video sales letter on your sales page. We landed our biggest ever client with a single personalised video, but here's the catch: it only worked because when he went to check us out, the attention and authority content was there to back it up. You need all three A's, and once you find your weekly cadence across them, leads and sales become genuinely predictable.

A massive open loop that instantly signals an opinion is coming, and it feels urgent, like you've just grabbed your phone because you had to say something. It works in any niche: I can't be the only one that's noticed the latest iPhone update, or that's noticed this trend in your industry. Nobody can resist finding out whether they've noticed it too.
