The importance of Accountability. I hold a great importance to keeping myself but also my clients accountable for the things that need being done. Especially with creatives, where it is much easier to dive into a creative flow and overshadow the necessary admin tasks. Because guess what… they will always be there waiting for you 😉 Hiring someone to help you stay accountable will also boost your productivity and help you move you closer to your goals every day. Have you ever considered working closely with someone to develop a project with you ? 

If you’re hiring an in-house videographer at your college, and the salary range is $40k-$50k, we need to talk. This is not an entry level position. If you want someone to just take orders and push buttons like a glorified intern, then maybe. But if you want someone who knows what they’re doing, and can take ownership of the role and lead creatively with intention and a strong marketing mindset, you need to pay them appropriately. I personally wouldn’t feel right paying anyone less than $70k for those expectations. Add to that the benefits package and other costs of managing an employee, and you’re likely exceeding 6 figures. When it makes sense to, invest in in-house talent. They’re super valuable. But there are instances where hiring an external video partner is the more cost-effective option, provided you’re not taking a “random acts of one-off videos” approach. If you find yourself on the fence between in-house and external talent, reach out to me. I can show you what a year’s worth of video content could look like as an external partner, or I can refer you to some talented folks who want to work in-house. Both are good options. Just don’t assume that hiring staff is the cheapest route.

Check out my latest blog post, written to help prospective clients understand the types of questions video pros ask. It’s also a great resource for other video professionals to ensure they’re asking the right questions. Enjoy!

Hiring someone to manage your social media and hiring someone to generate leads with social media are 100% different scopes and skillsets. Hiring someone to run your ads and hiring someone to fix your broken offer are 100% different scopes and skillsets. Hiring a coach and hiring a therapist are 100% different scopes and skillsets. Hiring out a website build and ranking your website are 100% different scopes and skillsets. Hiring a marketer and hiring a magician are 100% different scopes and skillsets. -Rachel Pedersen
