How To Use Video To Build Trust & Get More Clients (My Proven Video Marketing Strategy)

How To Use Video To Build Trust & Get More Clients (My Proven Video Marketing Strategy)
Read the video transcript

How can I use video to build trust and get clients? Good. This is my favorite topic, video marketing. And I've been doing this for myself. So I can tell talk about my own personal experience how we have built up our business with the use of video marketing. So first of all, it doesn't need to be complicated. Um, you got to get over the concept or the feeling of, "Oh, I don't like videoing myself.

I hate watching my own videos. I don't like this how I sound on the video." Well, you're not sitting there watching your own videos. Other people are. So, if you don't like watching your own videos, just shoot it. G, give it to your video editor. Yeah. Watch it once to make sure everything is fine and then upload it.

You don't need to be sitting there watching your own videos. The simplest, easiest, quickest way to start with video marketing is start by answering short, frequently asked questions. So go to Google or any other search engines. Ask them a question about your niche or your market, how to lose weight, how to get fit, how to get six packs or whatever it may be.

Answer those common customer questions on camera. It builds authority and saves time on repeated query um queries as well. And going live stream like this is even better because you're in a live environment. There's no there's no hiding uh place. So if somebody sends me a question and I'm trying to answer it, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge and ability.

And that also builds up that trust and people see you as an expert in your niche that wow this guy is or lady is doing all these uh Q&As's and he knows his stuff. The other thing I would say is use uh captions and hooks in the first 3 seconds. So use captions throughout because a lot of people you uh are scrolling on social media with the sound off.

Right. So, captions are important and the hook it got to be in the first 3 seconds. It's really important because people are scrolling fast. You got to get that attention instantly and make it easy for them to stop the scroll and unmute the video. Another one would be I would say show don't tell. Uh demo the products, do a workflow, show behind the scenes or show customer results.

Uh, proof always beats promises. Um, add a call to action at the end. Always. What do you want them to do? So, don't let them leave without um without uh telling them exactly what you want them to do. Book a free call, get the guide, download this, watch the video, subscribe to my channel, all of this stuff.

And then the last thing is repurposing the videos across every possible platforms. You've done the work once. Why wouldn't you repurpose them? So from one video you create shorts, reals, Tik Toks, LinkedIn clips, Facebook, Instagram, everywhere. And as I said earlier on from one video with 10 questions potentially well not potentially it is 10 more videos for me.

So all I would do is my team and I'm lucky enough now to have a team but I used to do this all by myself in the beginning. It used to take me fair bit of time but it was well worth it and I would advise you to do the same thing. Learn the process, set up your systems, SOPs, and then start hiring people and then turbocharge your workflow.

If there’s one thing that helped me grow my business faster than anything else, it’s video. Not fancy editing. Not expensive gear. Just simple, honest videos that answered real questions people were already asking.

You don’t need to be a “video person” to make this work. I definitely wasn’t. I didn’t like how I looked on camera, I didn’t like how I sounded, and I hated rewatching myself. But here’s what changed everything: I realised the videos weren’t for me. They were for the people who needed my help.

Start With Simple, Short Answers

The best way to begin is by answering common questions in your niche. Think of the things people ask you all the time. You can even check Google or social media to see what people are searching for.

Record yourself answering one question at a time. Keep it short. Keep it simple. These videos build authority quickly because people get to see you actually helping, not just claiming you can.

Go Live When You Can

Go Live When You Can

Live videos take things to a different level. You can’t rehearse too much, and that honesty builds trust fast. When someone asks a question live and you answer it on the spot, they can see your real knowledge and personality. It makes you look confident, approachable, and trustworthy.

Use Captions & Hook Viewers Fast

Use Captions & Hook Viewers Fast

Most people scroll through social media with the sound off. That’s why captions matter.

Also, your hook in the first 3 seconds decides whether someone stops or keeps scrolling. Say something that grabs attention quickly, like a surprising tip or a bold statement. If you don’t hook them early, the rest of the video won’t matter.

Show, Don’t Just Tell

Show, Don’t Just Tell

If you can demonstrate something, do it. Show behind-the-scenes moments, how your process works, or even results you’ve helped clients get.

Proof is always stronger than promises. When people see you doing the work, trust forms naturally.

Always End With a Clear Call to Action

Always End With a Clear Call to Action

It doesn’t matter how good your video is if you don’t tell people what to do next; they’ll scroll away and forget.

Ask them to book a call, download something, subscribe, or watch another video. Make the next step obvious and easy.

Repurpose Everything

Repurpose Everything

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is only posting a video once. But one long piece of content can turn into multiple short clips for different platforms.

You can turn it into reels, TikToks, LinkedIn clips, YouTube Shorts, the list goes on. You did the work already, so get as much mileage out of it as possible.

I started doing this alone, and yes, it took time. But it was worth every second. Once I understood the workflow and built a simple system, I eventually hired help and scaled even more.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to be perfect on camera. You just need to be helpful, consistent, and real. When people see you show up regularly with simple, honest videos, they start trusting you, and trust is what leads to clients.
