In the Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp  you’ll learn

  • Smarter ways to save time recording

  • Simple editing techniques that make a difference

  • A repeatable process that saves time every single week

  • And, ask questions and receive "FEEDBACK" on your videos from Annette in The Video Lab

If you’ve been putting off video because it feels awkward and takes too much time . . .

I get it, because I was you

People say I’m a natural on camera, but the truth is I’m not.  

I was a shy awkward kid in high school. The one who avoided being the center of attention or on camera at all costs

So I wasn’t happy when I found myself behind one of the “island” bars serving drinks. But I learned that when talking to strangers is your job you get over yourself fast.

😱 And that’s what it was like for me with video too. I hated seeing and hearing myself on camera. And my videos showed it.

One day I signed up for a group training. I learned a few techniques that saved me time.

And eventually just like standing behind a bar being starred at by strangers, I just stopped thinking about it. And I can promise you that you will too.

What You'll Learn Inside the Bootcamp

Your step-by-step path to creating videos you actually enjoy making, and are eager to share

This Is Perfect For You If You Are:

  • ✅ Nervous or uncomfortable every time you hit record and want to look more natural on camera.
  • ✅ Spending hours recording and editing and still not loving the end result enough to post it.
  • ✅ Telling yourself you’ll start making videos “once you get better equipment,” (even though you know that’s not the real problem).

You'll go from dreading video to using a simple, repeatable process to create videos you're proud to share.

And maybe for the first time, you’ll even enjoy being on camera.

 

What's Included:

✅ Module 1: Record Smarter
Save time and calm nerves with short scripts and one-line recording. Learn the 3×1 hook drill, how to capture simple b-roll, and quick fixes for common mistakes so you stop re-recording and start posting. Bonus: Loop Video Trick

✅ Module 2: Edit Better
Make your videos look and sound more professional in less time. In CapCut, you’ll trim dead space, add captions, control music, and use simple overlays to polish your clips fast. Bonus: Using Overlays

✅ Module 3: Consistency Without Burnout
Use the CORE system to keep ideas flowing and your workflow simple: Capture, Organize, Record Efficiently. Build a repeatable loop that fits your schedule and helps you show up every week. Bonus: Easy Video Transitions

✅ Module 4: Hot Seats + Q&A
Get answers during the live Q&A session and learn from real-time coaching. Up to 5 participants will have "Hot Seat" Reviews (1st first come, 1st served) for focused feedback on their videos.

What Bootcamp All-Stars Are Saying

 

Brenda Meller, Bootcamp Grad

I have been learning video tips from Annette for years and I was thrilled when I heard she was offering the "Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp." Now, if you follow me on LinkedIn, you know I'm pretty comfortable (and savvy) when it comes to video, but I knew I'd learn new techniques from Annette, to help me further elevate my messaging and video skills. And I was right! Here's one example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xcQhfRDmEp8

I highly recommend enrolling in Annette's bootcamp or paying to work with her. If you, like me, have benefitted from all her free expertise over the years, imagine the value you'll get from paying to learn from her! You'll learn techniques from Annette and she'll provide you guidance and support along the way. Tell her Brenda sent you! 

Sara Timm, Bootcamp Grad

Collaborating with Annette Richmond has been a game-changer in overcoming my reluctance toward video content. With a little practice, my videos are coming along. And it's not chore anymore. Her know how, guidance, and support has made the process manageable and her insights into content creation have been invaluable.

She is also helping me build confidence in front of the camera. That's not the easiest thing in the world to do. I can highly recommend Annette for anyone looking to establish a video presence as well as learn to easily create compelling content.

Not sure if this is for you? You might be thinking . . . 

📌 QUICK NOTE: This Bootcamp is for anyone ready to show up on camera and start creating video — whether you're just getting started or ready to level up.

👉 If you're new to video, that's fine. But you need to be ready to hit record. This is a hands-on, action-oriented program. If you're not ready to try, this isn't the right fit.

⁉️Still unsure? DM me on LinkedIn®️ and let me know what's holding you back. I'll let you know if the Bootcamp is likely a good fit for you.  

 

About Me

I’m a former magazine writer turned entrepreneur who went from camera shy to helping frustrated consultants, entrepreneurs feel more comfortable and confident on video.

As a business owner, I learned that sharing content on social media, particularly LinkedIn®️, was the best way to attract potential clients, referral partners, and colleagues to collaborate with.

When colleagues started asking me for help, I realized how much I enjoyed teaching others. And Black Dog Marketing Strategies was born.

I get that people are uncomfortable being on camera. They are afraid of being judged. I felt like that too.

Finally, I realized that nobody cared how I looked or sounded, their only interest was if my message was relevant to them.

I love teaching others that too.

Let's do this!
