SMARTER, FASTER, FUN VIDEO 

Easily create videos you are proud to share, without spending hours hating the process

 

Go from "UGH, video!"  to "Wow, that was actually fun!"   

 You Don’t Need Fancy Gear or Endless Takes, You Need a Plan That Works

In this 4-day live bootcamp, you’ll learn smarter ways to record, simple editing techniques that make a difference, and a repeatable process that saves time every single week

Before you read on, 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 girl with lots of friends, but no boyfriend

The one who avoided being the center of attention or on camera at all costs

I earned my membership in the National Thespian Society by working backstage for the school plays

I was also a cheerleader, which always surprises people. I could smile, perform, and do what was expected, but I never liked being on "stage"

So I wasn’t happy when I found myself behind one of the “island” bars popular in the 1980’s serving drinks. But I soon 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 on video. I learned some 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 and sound more natural on camera.
→ Spending too much time filming 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.
→ Tired of feeling like video is a chore that drains your energy instead of building your visibility.
→ Ready to finally feel confident, relaxed, and efficient when creating videos.

After this 4-day live bootcamp, you’ll stop dreading video and start creating with confidence.

You’ll learn how to record content that feels natural and spend far less time doing it.

You’ll leave with a simple, repeatable process, videos you’re proud to share, and the confidence to keep showing up.

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

Not sure if this is for you?

You might be thinking…

“I don’t have time for this.”
Totally fair. But this bootcamp is built for people who don’t have time. You’ll learn how to plan, record, and edit short-form videos quickly — so you can spend less time creating and more time connecting with your audience.

“I’ve tried video before and it just takes forever.”
You’re not alone. Most people waste hours recording and re-recording because they don’t have a clear process. You’ll get a simple structure that keeps you focused and saves time every time you hit record.

“My videos never look or sound polished.”
That’s exactly what we’ll fix. You’ll learn a few easy editing techniques that make your videos look cleaner and more professional — without buying new gear or learning complex software.

“I can probably figure this out on my own.”
Maybe, but why keep guessing? You’ll save weeks (or months) of trial and error by learning a streamlined workflow that actually works. And you’ll have the chance to get personalized feedback on your videos during the Q&A session.

Quick note: This bootcamp is for people who’ve done some video and are ready to get more comfortable showing up on camera. If you really hate being on camera or have no intention of ever showing your face, this probably isn’t the right fit.

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.

As a former media studies student in college, I was fascinated with the idea of live broadcasts. I began hosting my first LinkedIn Live broadcast, Smarter Career and Business Moves, and recording videos.

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

I’ve been lucky to work with executives, consultants, and other entrepreneurs since I started my first business in 2014. Since then, I’ve given presentations to many groups and conducted some workshops too.

More recently, I’ve had opportunities to speak about one of my favorite topics content creation strategies, especially video.

Because 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.
