37: Caleb Wojcik Helps Writers Connect with Readers Through Video

First of all, I just wanted to wish all of my listeners a happy new year! I also wanted to thank everyone who has read, liked, or shared one of my blog posts on LinkedIn over the past year. In early December, LinkedIn’s editors named me as one of 90 top writers of the year, an honor that took me completely by surprise.  So thanks for reading my work on LinkedIn. You can check out some of my writing by going to writewithimpact.com/linkedin. That’ll take you to my LinkedIn profile where you can read my posts. And while you’re there, send me a request to connect! So today’s episode is all about video. You’re a writer, so why should you care about video?  Isn’t video expensive and difficult to produce? What kind of equipment should you buy? Should you script it out in advance, or just shoot and edit?  These are some of the questions I discuss with my guest today, Caleb Wojcik. Caleb is a video producer who spent several years filming games for major national level sports leagues before setting up his own business teaching video production, marketing, and strategy for the web, which he calls DIY Video Guy.  He also runs Caleb Wojcik Films, a video production studio. Caleb produces videos for some of the biggest names in the online entrepreneurial space, like Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income. Through his web TV show and podcast, Caleb shares incredibly useful tips for making great videos by yourself, without having to hire a large and expensive crew. I’ve been following Caleb for a number of years now and I’ve learned a lot from him about video production. And if you ever need to go deeper on the topics that he covers, you can check out one of the excellent online courses he offers. You can find links to Caleb’s website, podcasts, and courses in the show notes to this episode over at writewithimpact.com/episode37.
