It’s increasingly hard to capture people’s attention online these days. However, if you have an interesting story to tell (and you tell it well), you have a much bigger chance of being heard—and getting clients or making sales down the line!

After that, she gets down to brass tacks, going one-by-one through all the video production tools, both digital and physical, that you should know about, including lighting, cameras, tripods, music, editing software and more!
