Recommended Deep Dive Structure
The ultimate goal of your Deep Dive is to provide value to our Paperless Movement® Membership members by showing a comprehensive walkthrough and unique insights into your tool or service.
At the same time, we want to share parts of the Deep Dive with as many non-members as possible to give your tool or service a higher exposure and increase the value of our free content.
For this reason, we figured out that the following is the best structure that you can use to create a Deep Dive that follows our high Membership Content Quality Standards but also makes it easy to distribute across external platforms:
- [Required] Introduction <1min
In this chapter, please emphasize the exclusivity of your video to the Paperless Movement® Members and what you are about to show in this video.
- [Optional] Mention a Member exclusive Tool Discount inside the Paperless Movement® Membership
- [Required] Chapter 1: Tool/Service Overview <3 min
- What is this tool all about?
- Why was it developed (what problem for business professionals is it solving)?
- What is it that makes it stand out compared to alternative tools/services?
- [Required] Chapter 2-X: Tool Features 1-5 min each
- In those chapters you go through the most exciting features your tool/service has to offer. Always keep in mind, that we’ll pick some or even all of those Chapters to distribute them as individual videos on YouTube. So best is to create feature chapters with potential Youtube video titles in mind. e.g.
- How you can do X in Tool Y.
- 5 Secrets about Tool Y you didn’t know!
- 3 Hacks that will change the way you work with Tool Y
- 3 Reasons that makes Tool Y better than Tool Z
- 4 Reasons that makes Tool Y the best Note-Taking App / Task Management App etc.
- [Required] Outro < 1min
Tell our members where they can find more information or get in touch with you or your team
Do NOT...
DO NOT show links inside your video. These might get dated, and we will not be able to change the video after it is published. All relevant links will be posted and updated inside your Partner Deep Dive Post.
Video Format
Your Deep Dive video needs to be in 16:9 Ratio and at least 1080p (FULL HD).
IMPORTANT- Provide Chapters with Time Stamps
Please provide Chapter Titles with Time Stamps for the different chapters in your deep dives. These chapters will be added to your Deep Dive within the membership for easier navigation and searchability. Additionally, this will greatly aid in identifying snippets that can be distributed on our YouTube channel.
Deep Dive Post Content
- Find the Deep Dive if they use text search inside the membership.
- Give our members an idea what to expect when watching the Deep Dive
- Additional Links that will point our members to external sources.
General Structure of Deep Dive Posts
- Tool/Service Introduction
- Deep Dive Video
- External inks to tool/service website
Ideas on how to structure the Deep Dive Post
- Start by greeting the Paperless Movement® members
- Explain the problem you believe the Paperless Movement® community might be facing (all busy professionals)
- Introduction of your solution to that problem / Agenda of the Tool/Method Deep Dive you are an expert in
- Provide a download link for the video so that I can add it to the Partner Expert Video Library
