E-Book Testimonials

"Thomas Clifford has made something useful here. This report will give you some really catchy, useful ideas.

It made me reconsider how I do what I do, so you might give it a look-see, too!" 

Chris Brogan, President, Human Business Works 

"Tom Clifford is by trade a filmmaker. For most of his life, he rarely wrote anything longer than a brief comment in the margin of a script. 

Now, though, he's producing tens of thousands of words a year, first as a Fast Company "Expert Blogger," and then as a writer for the Content Marketing Institute. 

How did Tom go from a non-writer to a prolific and much-read one? His eBook, '5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways . . . , ' holds some of his secrets."

Mark Levy, Author of "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content"

“Tom is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—if you have the privilege to meet him. And he does sterling work as well. But don’t just take my word for it.

Read this free report and you’ll not just love its tone and content, but learn a lot as well.”

Sean D’Souza, Psychotactics.com

“Anyone who wants to improve their writing needs this e-book. A lot of ebooks are short because they just don’t have much substance to offer. They’re not worth your time (and so are many of the long ones, too, for that matter). Tom’s is short because he’s so good at giving you only what you need to know. 

‘5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways to Write Faster, Better, Easier’ lives up to its promise by example as well as in the words themselves. Tom used the very same techniques he teaches you to write this book. 

And what’s in here is not just a rehash of the same tired ideas you find coming from people who have suddenly fancied themselves as writing gurus. There are tricks in here I never heard of (like the Writing Funnel) and some I had forgotten about and was glad to be reminded of (like Sporadic Writing).”

Yikes! I Have to Produce a Corporate Video! Now What?

DateSaturday, October 6, 2007 at 06:15PM

Yikes.jpg

I would venture to say that most people do not produce corporate videos as part of their daily routine at work.

As a matter of fact, my guess is that most folks probably never even created a video for their department or organization.

So when I posted "Is Corporate Video Art?" on LinkedIn's "Answers" and received an amazing collection of answers...

I decided to re-open this question: "Yikes! I Have to Produce a Corporate Video. Now What?" Check out the answers...pretty neat stuff.

If tomorrow you were faced with creating a video for your company, what questions are going through your mind now?

Perhaps you are thinking:

  • how do I know what producer to hire?
  • what's their style?
  • what's expected of me?
  • how involved do I need to be?
  • who can I trust?
  • will the producer I hire help me understand the production process and make me feel comfortable?

Let's say your video will be used to: (pick one or make up one)

  • give to your sales force to show their customers your uniqueness
  • create an awareness about certain HR issues...diversity and employee orientation
  • capture a virtual tour
  • show potential customers "who you are" in five to ten minutes
  • show new hires your corporate culture and values
  • roll-out a "change management" initiative

What questions are buzzing around your head that you want answers to?

What questions do you want answered that will bridge the gap from feeling confused to feeling comfortable?

I'll tackle the answers to some of these questions in a future post.

Post your comments here or at LinkedIn's "Answers." Thanks!

---Tom
