Caleb Guilliams is the Founder of Better Wealth Solutions.
Caleb and his team work with people all over the country
showing them how to take back control over their wealth today
while also enabling them to have successful financial futures.

At the young age of 19, opportunity knocked and Caleb was able
to run the investment department at his local bank. This initial
exposure to the intricacies of money and the added responsibility
of handling client’s wealth drove him to spend the next two years
traveling the country in search of experts who understood how
money worked. He wanted to discover the best methods and
strategies for regaining control over money for both his clients and
himself.

Now as host of the podcast Better Wealth, he is able to


interview and talk with some of the same experts he learned from.
From the beginning, his personal mission statement has been: Help
people see and reach their highest potential. He continues to carry
out that mission through helping people save, spend and invest their
money in such a way as to live out their highest potential.

Goals of the One Minute Video Course
If you want people to engage your business or your brand, you have to start
investing in the currency of digital platforms, attention.
People are trading hours of their day scrolling through Facebook and you
have to fight for every bit of attention you can get.
The easiest way to get people's attention is through video. Specifically,
one minute videos. No one is going to watch a 3 minute video if they

ht ps:/ blitzmetrics.wistia.com/medias/hkj6p2kga
don’t know who you are. Attention spans on social channels are brief.
The average watch time for a video on Facebook is only 6 seconds.
You must learn to grab their attention quickly and pull them into the
story you are trying to tell. This isn’t as hard as it seems, you just have
to start. So, pick up your phone, point it at yourself and tell us why
you’re doing the work that you’re doing. Start with, “when I
was...” then tell us, “what I learned…” and finally, “what I

htps:/portage-1.wista.com/ edias/06gz6kym03
believe…” and how that led you to the work you do now.
This course teaches you how to make engaging one
minute videos so you can generate the attention you desire
for your brand or business.
No one made a good one minute video on their first try, so
start now, make a lot of them.
You can test them and compare them against our Standards of
Excellence, put money behind the winners, and capitalize on
your most engaged videos. Before you know it, you’ll have hours
of content generating interest for your business or brand.
And it all starts with a one minute video.

Here's the foolproof framework to make a 1-minute
video about your story.

Last week the famous Dennis Yu and Logan Young had me up on


stage at VidSummit to demonstrate this style of a personal
branding video. You need to tell a story with the following
prompts:

1: When I was...
2: I believe...
3: I started...

This format has worked well for me in the past in helping me


figure out the best way to tell my story. If you've been holding
back, maybe this is a quick step you can follow to get a video out
there and start getting some motivation and momentum around
your story.

HOW TO SHOOT VIDEO INTERVIEWS IN A HOTEL WHEN
ALL YOU HAVE IS AN IPHONE AND NO EQUIPMENT
Use lamp shades and put lights on both sides while you
hold your phone doing the interview.

htps:/w.facebokm/getfoundvies/18679 1324/
Have as much open space behind the subject you are
interviewing.

Ideally the subject should be facing in the corner.

If you're tired, to help make you look fresh, put some ice
under your eyes. It reduces the puffiness making you look
vibrant and reenergized.

Pro Tips When Filming
Once you've built your Topic Wheel with at least 3 topics and 3 people each for you to interview, it's time
to seed your Content Library with videos that you create.
Start by listing out questions that you can answer in one minute. 60 seconds isn't long, so choose topics you
can properly cover in that time-frame.
Avoid being too ambitious -- break bigger topics into smaller chunks. Your audience prefers to consume many
small tidbits versus sitting through a full hour of you talking, especially with 80% of these being consumed on their
phones.
If you have an iPhone, use the notes app to keep track of these topics and continue to add, as thoughts pop up.
You can use a daily planner or whatever fits with your way of organizing your time.
When you're ready to film, make sure you have a well-lit location. You don't need fancy equipment, but
having a pro set up doesn't hurt. Just don't let an apparent need for pro equipment stop you from making
videos.
Avoid using profanity if you're planning on uploading to Facebook since the usage of profanity is against
Facebook's guidelines.

13
Working With Those Who Are Camera Shy

REDUCE THE SUBJECT'S ANXIETY


Most people, even pros, are camera shy. Standing in
front of a camera with the lights glaring at you and mic
clipped to you is intimidating.

If your subject is tense, their videos won't be as good.


You'll be there much longer doing multiple takes, and
nobody will be happy with the result.

Get around this by shooting your one minute videos as


an interview. The subject can sit comfortably in a chair
facing the interviewer, who can be on or off camera
(depending on whether you're doing a two camera
shoot).

They can naturally answer the questions while facing the


interviewer, while pretending the camera isn't even there.

14
More Filming Tips

WHILE
FILMING
Only keep the footage you plan on using in order to save time when editing.
If the subject is really shy or psyched out by the camera, you can run the camera continuously, instead of starting
and stopping.
This requires more effort on the editing side, since you can't clap or motion to unmark sequence starting and end points.
But the subject can comfortably know they can restart any botched sentence with no pressure of being "perfect".
If they do restart a phrase, let them know to wait 2 seconds before restarting, so we can splice cleanly.
Another trick to reduce tension for subjects that aren't experienced pros in front of the camera (which is 99% of us), is to
use a boom mic instead of a lapel mic. Snaking a lapel mic down someone's shirt can be invasive, adding to the tension.
Plus, when viewers see that lapel mic on the subject, they don't have a natural look.
A boom mic gives a fuller sound, so long as you're shooting in a quiet environment -- don't do this at a conference with
people milling about.
15
If you have two cameras, use both whenever you are shooting your video.
Especially if someone is helping you shoot the video, the extra camera
set up and file upload takes another 10 minutes at most for a huge payoff.

If your equipment allows, ensure that you are doing so in 4k and uploaded
the footage in 4k as well.

Choose or set up the background of your videos to enhance visual aesthetics to help create a far
better composition of what you shoot, which will lead to more people engaging in the content.

ht ps:/ videoconverter.wondershare.net/?gclid=CjwKCAjwhevaBRApEiwA7aT53x_7CrkjM7tbConverter
When uploading in 4k, use Wondershare _WZ8 eAty5l3RPmkjylnql2guBxzyqyQ6I6mkoGNnhoC1EYQAvD_BwE to easily optimize 4k footage for faster

upload. Uploading the footage at this resolution allows you to do punch-ins and much
higher quality color correction on the files.

If you have 2 cameras shooting in 4k, you effectively create 4


camera angles because when you crop for punch-ins,
the footage will still be at a 1080p resolution.
