Video Transcript

0:00
I never made more than like 40, 50K a year out of college.
0:04
And that's pre-tax.
0:05
So all those broke.
0:06
So I packed up my car, drove like 1200 miles away.
0:10
That's where I kind of learned how to like talk to people,
0:12
network, do customer service, write blogs.
0:15
All right, so today we're meeting up with Scott.
0:17
He makes $50,000 a month making videos.
0:20
And he's gonna show us exactly how he does it.
0:26
So yeah, tell me about what you do.
0:29
What do you learn?
0:30
Yeah, so we run, basically it's a productized service
0:33
for B2B SaaS companies.
0:35
So think about like, in agency service,
0:37
except you're able to buy it kind of like an e-commerce product.
0:41
So it's short animated videos for B2B SaaS companies
0:45
to run as paid ads and get customers in the door.
0:48
What's a typical client for who we work with?
0:50
We work with software companies that are primarily B2B.
0:54
So they have platforms like you think of strife,
0:56
like a payment processor or something like that.
0:58
And they're typically also funded.
1:00
So in a part about selling something
1:03
like a product-high service is making sure that the people have the money to actually
1:06
buy what you're selling.
1:08
So we found that companies that are VC backed or have gone through like seed and series
1:14
A funding, they typically have the money to purchase what we're selling.
1:17
So that's what works best for us.
1:19
And companies want this because it helps sell more of their product or helps their brand
1:23
market better.
1:24
The main goal with the videos is not necessarily to directly get our clients more customers.
1:30
It's more so to get the potential customers to like stop scrolling or to maybe go book a demo or something like that
1:38
It's more of like the scroll stopper some people call it where it's super
1:45
Attention grabbing but it doesn't give you enough information to actually go buy the service or product
1:51
Tell me a little bit more about your back. I do it doing
1:54
actual video agency work. Yeah, so I've done I've done everything
1:56
I've done music videos, recaps, me and a friend used to shoot weddings, and just like basically
2:02
everything.
2:03
I've also been a designer, built websites, all this stuff.
2:07
For me, videos were really stuck.
2:10
And then it was hard for me to scale, and it was hard to get work.
2:14
I didn't really know what I was doing.
2:16
So I ended up stumbling onto Twitter and meeting a lot of the people, what they call money
2:22
Twitter, right.
2:23
and that's really all about how can you take what you already know how to do
2:27
which for me was the video production stuff and monetize it at a higher level
2:31
and then that's when I kind of got into all the technical
2:34
technical business stuff. Yeah, if you got a college or not that.
2:38
I went for two months and dropped out of thing.
2:41
Why did you drop that? What happened?
