You keep putting video off. And who can blame you?

It feels awkward. It takes forever.  After an hour,  you watch it back and cringe.

Maybe you don't even bother to post it. 
But here's what staying invisible is actually costing you. Clients who can't find you. Opportunities going to someone else. A business that's harder to grow than it needs to be.

 

Let's change that. 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 recieve "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:

  • ✅ Recording video but not happy with the results and want to feel more comfortable 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 video reluctant 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.

🎁 BONUS: The Video Lab
Our private coaching space and replay hub for the Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp. This is where your content gets sharper and so do you. A place to watch, practice, get feedback on your videos from me.

🚀 BONUS: "Hot Seat" Coaching (week 3)
Bonus "Hot Seat" Reviews and coaching session (1st first come, 1st served) for focused feedback on your videos.

💪 Video Challenges

💡Resources
Learn simple video engagement tricks and get a few quick-reference downloads to help you keep creating after the bootcamp.

🥳 Fair warning: this bootcamp is actually fun. People laugh. A lot. If you're looking for someone to drone on for 90 minutes while you check your email — I'm not your person.

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! 

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 C. 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.

Client Testimonials

Thomas Powner (Client)

📌 Despite regularly speaking to large audiences at conferences and webinars, I struggled with camera presence when speaking to an audience of zero. Fear and self-doubt would creep in, causing me to stumble over words and sound insecure.

Through video coaching sessions with Annette, I learned valuable techniques to overcome these challenges. I now feel confident and composed on camera, delivering clear and impactful messages. 

📌 In this world where video rules, I recommend Annette for video coaching to learn techniques, best practices, and easy-to-use tools.

 

 

 

 

 

Liz M. Lopez (Client)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Annette Richmond, Video Consultant, when I needed urgent help editing a video in CapCut, and I’m so glad I reached out to her.

I was on a tight deadline and had never used the app before. Annette was able to get me in for a next-day Zoom appointment and patiently walked me through the entire process using the app on my phone, step by step. She helped me with everything from trimming and formatting the video to blurring out personal information inside the video itself so I could confidently submit it on time.

What I appreciated most was her ability to meet me where I was. She made the technology feel approachable and helped me navigate features that were beyond beginner level, even when I started to feel overwhelmed. She was calm and always had a new approach “Let’s try this" until it all came together. By the end of the session, I had the video completed and also felt far more confident using the platform on my own.

Toddi Norum (Conference Attendee)

I attended a session with Annette at ATD New England, and even with my background in video and documentary production, I walked away with new, practical ideas I could immediately apply in my client work.

Annette brings passion and expertise to her craft and generously shares time-saving workflows and creative techniques. She’s engaging, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping others elevate their storytelling skills. Highly recommend.

⁉️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!
