(This is an email as part of the email sequence for my course Video Business Blueprint).

Hi {{first_name}},

Welcome to our list! I’ll be sharing tips, strategies & stories from my experience growing a video production company and digital agency.

WHO AM I TO BE TEACHING YOU THIS?

My name’s Matt Jacobs.

I’m a successful video production company Owner, founder of the Filmmaking Lifestyle website and I’ve been making a full time income through video production for 11 years now.

Here are a few photos of me and my family. We travel a lot!

Through my website, books & courses, I’ve helped over 1,600 people start & grow their own video businesses! 

You might have also seen my work on No Film School, Zacuto, StudioBinder or elsewhere.

I want to give you a warm welcome to the newsletter and let you know that you’ve made a great decision in furthering your video business dreams!

What are the next steps?

WHITELIST MY EMAIL 

Unfortunately, emails have a habit of not always reaching our subscribers.

I don’t want you to miss these important emails because they end up in your spam or junk folder! So please, “whitelist” this email address so you don’t mistakenly delete them. 

You can do this by adding my email address to your Contacts and if you’re using Gmail drag the email into your Primary tab, as well as ‘star’ and ‘set as important’ my emails. You won’t regret it!

We have full instructions on how to whitelist here.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

Maybe you’ve already tried setting up a video production business… but find yourself struggling to get clients.

Or… maybe you want to learn how to ‘touch up’ your skills and learn to sell your services like a pro.

Well, regardless of your situation, you’re in the right place.

In fact, I’ll show you how to start & grow your video business successfully…

  • Even if you’re not at all comfortable selling yourself & your video skills and you’re nervous about presenting your work to bigger clients.
  • Even if you don’t have much in the way of resources or connections.
  • And, especially, even if you think it’s “too late” and you’ll be stuck working in your day job forever.

Today, I make a healthy mid-6-figure income each year doing something I love…

…But it wasn’t always like that. Let me take you back…way, way back into the wilds of 2009.

Back then, I was a 24 year old marketing professional, working for a well-respected London based marketing agency. And I had more hair than I knew what to do with!

But you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to hear more about that. I’ll give you a quick jump into my journey, how I started and what this means for helping you get the video company of your dreams.

Tomorrow, we’ll jump into my origin story. So look for the email with subject line: “You Should Be Grateful to Have This Job” tomorrow!

Thank you again for joining our community!

All the best,

Matt

PS,

I hate to sound like Columbo, but “One more thing…” 

I should also mention here again that if you’re interested in what I’m going to be sharing, you should definitely Whitelist my emails.

This article gives info on how to do that in any email client. 

If you’re using Gmail, make sure you add my email address as a Contact and drag these emails into the Primary folder if they’re in Promotions. 

You can also click on the buttons to ‘star’ and ‘make important’ in order to ensure you see them each time. Ciao!
