Hello I’m JoyGenea Schumer, CEO and owner of Solutions by JoyGenea Specializing Digital Marketing.
I am an expert in building super engaging websites and explainer training videos.
Here are my top 5 tips you should know about Website and Video marketing.
#1. Your website must be 2018 mobile friendly and have an SSL certificate.
This is a non-mobile friendly website, see how I have to zoom in to see things and slide back and forth to read the page.
This is a 2016 mobile friendly website – it has some of the elements it should have. The text is not wrapping properly on the page, the images are a little off
This is a 2018 mobile friendly website- it has a nice hamburger menu, the text wraps properly and the images are sized right to the device.
Now let’s talk about SSL.
An SSL certificate is a form of website security and encryption that is bought and added to a website. As of 2018, it’s required by Google. Without this little lock, your website is dropping in search rankings and Google is giving visitors a warning that your website might not be safe to visit. You must have an SSL Certificate on your site.
#2. Video making is EASY and FUN. People love authenticity, creativity and learning.
Video shows people your business in a fun and simple way. Use video to:
- Teach them how to easily buy from you
- Show off your core values and mission statement
- Making videos is fun and statistically it is more engaging than text
#3. Call for action right away.
This is a call to action. You only need to have one or two call outs.
Anything over that – people don’t see any of them and you are losing value and not gaining.
#4. Make sure your video intro grabs them.
You have 2 – 7 seconds to get capture their attention.
That short clip was 7 seconds.
Did I get your attention?

#5 With website a small investment can have a huge return
The days of building your own website of done. Take it from a person who has been in this industry for 15+ years. There are a lot more moving parts and they change on a regular basis. SSL certificates, GDPR compliance, removing people from analytics- that’s all the 2018 stuff so far.
Work with someone you trust and most importantly make sure they talk in terms that you can understand.
Those are my 2018 Top 5 Website and Video Tips. I hope this has inspired you to update your website, write a blog or post a new video.
