Success with Audio & Video: What is REALLY Holding You Back?
It’s been very interesting to get inside the minds of coaches through a simple survey I did
recently – thank you very much if you took part.
If you think about it, everyone does a little coaching now and then – in your business, with your friends, with your family… – so what I’m talking about here, the ‘psychology’ of coaching, probably applies in some way to you too.
What’s interesting is that what I found out with this survey (and in my experience of coaching my own clients) is true for pretty much any other type of ‘solopreneur’ or business…so read on even if you don’t consider yourself a coach of any kind.
It seems many ‘coaches’ believe they don’t have the time or money to invest in simple yet very effective growth strategies for their coaching business.
Yet things like Facebook and YouTube marketing (which are FREE!) can be easily done in 30 minutes a day, a couple of time a week, with tools you already have – no financial investment needed.
Can you do this?
YES!
Do you have a really good reason not to?
Probably not!
Aren’t you curious to find out why this is such a problem? Why people don’t even take the FREE and easy option when it is right there under their nose!
Part of this is ‘what is the first step’…but that is not the biggest reason.
The other great insight that came from this survey was how many coaches are ‘not ready’ to do this (Facebook/YouTube video marketing or other simple strategies, like recording a short audio interview to create a product… even daily message posting on Facebook makes a difference)…. or ‘are planning this in a couple of years time’!
Wow!
These are people who want to make more money…but are not planning on taking these super easy and low cost (or no cost!) action steps for maybe two years!
I really don’t mean this with any judgement…and at the same time I couldn’t quite believe what I was reading!
We are talking about coaches here. People who coach OTHER PEOPLE about making empowering decisions and taking action – NOW!
Quite an eye opener.
But also totally understandable. I know we’re all human and operate in essentially the same way.
This is what I have learned in all my years of working with coaching clients, one on one or in groups.
It is NEVER really time, money or technology that stops people moving forwards with their business.
It is ourselves.
We know this.
But the irony is that ‘we’ still get in the way of our own greater success.
I do it too. How about you?
If this is you, and you really want to grow your business, get more clients and make more money then I seriously suggest you commit to three 90 minute coaching sessions WITH YOURSELF and ask yourself what is the real reason behind the excuses you give yourself and others that ‘hold you back’ from moving forwards NOW!
Provocative, I know.
But I wouldn’t be a great coach without it.
Facebook Statistics 2011
If you’re still thinking about whether to use video on Facebook to make you stand out from the crowd, take a look at this animation video produced by Alex Trimpe on Facebook usage….and then reconsider whether it is worth your while taking an hour or two out of your life to learn how to make short Facebook videos in around 15-20 minutes.
The statistics shown in this video were based on Facebook having 500 million users…which is now out of date….and is estimated at above 600 million and growing fast.
However many people are actually using Facebook right now is perhaps less important than the astounding amount of traffic and usage of this global social media phenomenon.
With that many users Facebook video marketing is certainly worth thinking about for your business or community.
Video Marketing: Lisa Page ‘The Life, Love & Intimacy Series’
We made this promo video for Lisa Page by simply taking text from her website to create the slide content, plus some royalty free images that Lisa provided and some that we sourced for her approval.
The text is animated at a comfortable reading pace and the images appear in time with each relevant text line. Transistions between slides are smooth and easy…
We also added a specially selected piece of music to add a certain flavour and pace to the video (Music: Kevin MacLeod).
This is just one example of our video marketing creations. If you would like a video like this for your business, product or service then click here for more information.

Royalty Free Music for your Hypnosis, Meditation & Relaxation Products
It can be quite a challenge to find good music that you can legally use for any kind of media production:
- video music ‘beds’ (music to use under a voiceover) or backing tracks
- soothing, calm music for slideshows and screencast presentations
- music for audio recordings: hypnosis, relaxation and meditation CDs or mp3s
Thought Sounds is a large collection of soothing, high quality, royalty-free soundtracks designed from the ground up to be used with brainwave entrainment, hypnosis and relaxation.
Perfect for Hypnosis, Therapy and Meditation
It is rare to find soundtracks that can be used effectively for therapy and hypnosis. As any experienced hypnotherapist will tell you, backgrounds need to be both slow in tempo and consistent throughout the entire session. If they are too distracting, the impact of the hypnosis script and any other elements will be severely diminished. A soundtrack ideally suited for therapy is incredibly hard to accomplish without creating a boring, overly repetitive composition. As a result, therapists can spend years building up a collection of acceptable compositions that only a handful of clients actually enjoy.
Here is an overview of what is included:
70 soothing and thought-provoking soundtracks
- Warm, soothing ambience
- Ethnic inspired soundtracks (Indian, Celtic, Middle Eastern, Asian, etc)
- Weightlessness, Floating, Outer Space soundtracks
- Spiritual (choir, meditation, shamanic)
- “Primordial” Sounds
- Nature (rain, forest, etc) combined with ambient sound
- Unique Musical Tracks
66 soundtrack variations
In addition to the 70 main soundtracks, we have also included 66 variations. Variations are based on the main 70 soundtracks, but use different arrangements, instruments and techniques. This gives you more flexibility and many additional options. You could, for example, have a single soundtrack as a main theme for your audio production, and use the variations to set a different mood or add variety.
Here is a short sample of 12 of the tracks

Free copy of Perfect Loop 1.0 software

Collection Features:
- Designed to act as effective carriers for brainwave entrainment
- 100% Royalty Free! – Use Thought Sounds with your clients or in your commercial projects
- All soundtracks are at a relaxing 40 bpm, perfect for relaxation, meditation, trance, etc
- Tested to loop seamlessly with the default settings of our software
- All soundtracks are in production quality (320 kbps) mp3 format

By themselves, even without added scripts, effects, or entrainment, these Thought Sounds soundtracks are profoundly relaxing. Brilliantly composed, they are also fascinating and innovative musical pieces, adding a new dimension to any audio/visual experience.
