Turning Audios into Great Videos!

Not a day goes by when I don’t see at least one request for proposal from a coach, and usually one of the tasks included in their list of needs is  ‘need to take audio recordings and re-purpose the content into other forms of media, including video’.   It’s such a smart way for any online business professional who has been recording their teleseminars or conference calls to create lots of new product without having to create new content – they already have a gold mine of content just waiting to be used.   There are other ways to reuse the content besides video, such as articles and blogs, but when converted into visual products that can then be distributed on websites, CDs, as free downloads… well you are able to tap into a whole new audience of visual learners who may just be looking for what you have to offer.

For a virtual assistant, it is a skill that is in high demand and one that is being taught as part of the VA Classroom’s latest course – the Virtual Event Specialist Certification.  I myself enrolled in the course, and I can highly recommend it to any virtual assistant who enjoys working in the audio and video medias, and who wants to learn more about virtual event set up, moderation and post production tasks.  It was a great class taught by the VA Demo Girl herself, Michelle Schoen.

So using the techniques taught in the Virtual Events Specialist course, here is a video that is an example of re-purposing content.  The original interview was done with my friend,  online marketing strategist Tracy Gardner, owner of Tracy Gardner Enterprises, Inc. and by adding slides to go along with the audio, and a little music – voila,  a new form of marketing content was born!
