Video Marketing Basics Course
Back in 2017 we crated this course to help businesses understand the impact that video marketing could have on their business. Three years later, we were right. Video marketing has exploded, and is just as relevant today. With that I wanted to do a special release to help anyone get started.
This course is designed to help professionals get started making great videos and live streams with their phone or webcam, and use that content to create video marketing campaigns. With more professionals working form home, this is a great course for those using web conferencing platforms like Zoom and Webex
