Online video expert Brighton West has honed his skills not just in video production, but in the best ways to leverage various online video platforms and formats.
Brighton started out behind the camera, making narrative and documentary videos. He soon learned that being on camera was more influential, beneficial and profitable than being behind it. So he overcame his on camera jitters and now helps his clients turn the camera on themselves. Brighton has built his business by creating YouTube tutorials about using YouTube in business. Through his channel, he's positioned himself as the expert for coaches, authors and speakers who want to grow their global audience with YouTube.
Brighton works with clients around the world, handling the
technical and strategic side of online video and teaching them to
record their own. His team then edits, uploads and optimizes the
videos, then gets them ready for promotion, to position the coach
as an expert in their niche.
