Hey folks, thanks for joining me again. I’m excited to announce that the Ignite 30 Day Video Challenge that totally turned my marketing world upside is taking pre-registrations again.. There are limited spaces available & once they are full the doors to the course will be shut.
Pre-register for this challenge here.
Niamh (the creator of this challenge) has changed a few things. She has limited the space available for those who want to take part in the challenge. And although the challenge use to be free she has now added a one time payment of $20. This payment is just for the Ignite Challenge & not for her membership site…although she usually offers a significant discount for those who finish the challenge.
So to make things clear you have to join before the limited spaces have been taken up and pay $20 to take part in the challenge. Register here if you’re interested.
Further down is a video explaining Niamh’s reasons for these changes.
To be honest $20 is well worth it. Making video use to be one of the scariest things in this world to me. I couldn’t believe how my mindset changed after a couple days. I understand if money is a barrier. But just seeing how novices like yourself transform, it’s almost magical !
Back to the challenge review.
I’m gonna go out on a bit of a limb here and show you my very first Youtube video that I did as part of the challenge.
Then I’ll show you my most popular video on my channel. Even I get surprised by the difference and am somewhat proud of the transformation.
Anyway, that’s your little treat…but I’ll show them to you a bit later on. Well, that’s kind of a treat…the real treat is you’re going to get the lady who runs the show…the ‘Boss’….Niamh Arthur!
As for now let’s look at what the purpose of the challenge is and how it may benefit you.
The Inside Word
Within this challenge, you’ll be producing short 2 to 3-minute videos in response to certain prompt’s you’ll be receiving in your email. You’ll film your vids as unlisted then send the link to your Facebook circle.
Believe when I say you’ll receive ‘amazing’ support from your new circle friends.
Not only does this make videos less scary it’s also I great way to connect with others.
Although video is becoming one of the most important mediums for online business owners, initially I just wanted to learn to do vids because I wanted to join the mental health vlogging community. As well as trying to earn money online to replace my welfare dependence.
My point is that you don’t have to be an entrepreneur in order to be interested in making videos…maybe some you guys want to make others aware of things you’re passionate about or you’d like to make a video diary for your kids. If so then this course will help with that and teach you two really important skills-
- How to make professional looking videos (without expensive equipment)
- How to overcome your fear of actually making videos
And if you do have an online business then I’m sure you’ll realize just how powerful video truly is.
You can create an amazing connection with your audience…if you give them great value then build trust at the same time. Eventually, you’ll have a dedicated club of raving fans that you can both serve and be compensated financially for.
So this challenge is 30 days but you’ll be getting the weekends off.
Life can get in the way too so if you fall behind…no problem. Just bulk record several in one session then you can join in on the finisher’s party.
Believe me by the end of the challenge you’ll be really loving video. You’ll still be a bit scared each time you record but like I said that’s the fun of it.
Now that I’ve explained what this challenge is about let’s here from the lady herself…Niamh.
The Ignite Video Challenge now costs $20.
No Surprises Please
Although by going through the challenge you’ll be surprised by how fast you adapt to the online video world, I still want to allay any fears you may have. Here are some things you don’t have to be worried about:
One Time Fee of $20 to Take Part in Challenge
Last March (2019) was the first challenge that wasn’t free. As Niamh has said she needed to limit places and add a cost in order to keep her sanity and avoid burning out.
Around 2,000 people would take part in the challenge and the sheer logistics of handling an intake of that magnitude is immense. “…I had 50 different landing pages & 50 different email sequences.”
So even though the Ignite challenge is no longer free paying $20 for a potential life changing experience is well worth it.
No Heavy Handed Marketing
Believe me when I tell you that you won’t be hit with spammy email notifications trying to make you feel bad if you don’t join. Niamh does the exact opposite and is a leading crusader in the non-manipulative marketing space. She only wants you to enjoy the experience and have fun with each new step you take along the way.
No Upsells
There are no tiers or levels to this challenge. That means you don’t have to pay anything extra to learn about day 10’s prompt or to progress further in the challenge. There will only be a small promotion near to the end of the 30 days (usually with a big discount), but whether you join the paid course or not doesn’t matter.
Everything is Private
What will happen is that you’ll make your videos on the Youtube platform but the settings will be unlisted. This means only people you share this link with will be able to watch them. But the best part is that you’ll have a bunch of people giving you lots of support through your Facebook circle.
These circles are groups of ‘newbies’ (and a couple veterans) who’ll be cheering for you along. Inside your circle, you’ll share your vids in a supportive, encouraging environment. I know it sounds a bit scary…but that’s half the fun.
So we know what not to expect let’s take a quick look at how my transformation into being comfortable with video turned out.
My Transformation
Here’s the little treat I promised. To be honest I’ve been at this video thing a wee-while and still have trouble getting the lighting right. So be gentle with yourself if you decide to join the free course.
Below is my very first Youtube video and my most popular one.
The truth I did about ten Youtube videos prior to the Ignite Challenge. But these were only slides shows and I was so nervous recording them I kept stumbling on the narration.
Even when my face was not on camera I was still too nervous…
With this challenge, I felt comfortable (but still a bit scared) on camera by day 3.
Watch and enjoy!
This is my first video
