You Don’t Need to Be Perfect to Win on Video | Get Leads Using Youtube


A lot of people think video is only for the young, tech-savvy crowd. But that’s not true at all. One of our clients, a realtor over 40, has gained more than 900 YouTube subscribers in under 6 months. Even better—she now gets new leads every single week for her real estate business.

Her secret? She didn’t try to be perfect. She simply showed up as her authentic self and followed the simple techniques we teach.

If you’ve been putting off video because of fear, here are a few practical steps you can take today:

  1. Start small – Record a short 1-minute video on your phone. Share a tip you’d give a client or answer a common question.
  2. Be real, not perfect – Don’t worry about fancy editing or flawless delivery. People connect with honesty, not polish.
  3. Set a schedule – Aim for one video a week. Consistency matters more than making a “perfect” video.
  4. Think of value first – Focus on how your knowledge can help others. That’s what keeps people watching.

Remember, video is about connection. When people see you and hear you, they begin to trust you—even before you meet.

It’s never too late to start. Your story, your voice, and your experience are exactly what your audience needs.

If you have experience, skills, or a story, there are people who already need what you know. They just don’t know you yet. Building a business today doesn’t mean working nonstop or chasing trends. It means clearly sharing...

A lot of small business owners want to use video to grow their brand, but they don’t start because they don’t have many followers. They think, “What’s the point if no one is watching?”They think they need to go viral first.They think followers equal money. They don’t. Right now, there are creators with massive audiences who can't get leads (and make money). Why?Because attention without a system does nothing. Most people are building a platform, not a business. They post content, chase views,...
