Production Without Panic (Part 2 of 4)

The Time Myth — How to Be Everywhere While You Sleep

By Edwin Duterte & Jennifer Wolfe
Founders, The Donn Allan Experience

Previously in Part 1: We convinced you to stop buying expensive cameras and just use your phone (or our studio). You felt relieved. But then you looked at your calendar, saw the 85 things you have to do today, and thought: "Nice try. I don't have time to brush my teeth, let alone become a YouTuber."


The "I'm Too Busy" Lie We All Tell

Let’s be honest. "I'm too busy" is adult code for "I'm terrified of adding one more thing to my plate because I might snap."

We get it. As small business owners in the South Bay, our to-do lists are longer than the line at Costco on a Saturday. The idea of adding "Host a Video Podcast" to that list feels like a cruel joke.

But what if we told you that South Bay video podcasting isn't about adding more work? It’s about cloning yourself.

The Question We Hear Every Day:

"How much time will this actually take away from running my business?"

The Voxel Answer: About 2 hours a month. If you do it right.

The Secret of "Batching & Blasting"

Amateur creators try to film one video every day. They are exhausted, stressed, and usually quit after two weeks.

Professional creators use a strategy called Batching.

Think about laundry. Do you wash one sock at a time, every single day? No. That would be insane. You wait until the hamper is full and wash it all at once.

Content is laundry. Stop washing one sock at a time.

The Voxel 2-Hour Miracle

Here is the exact workflow we use at Voxel Micro Video Labs to help busy South Bay entrepreneurs dominate the internet while they are actually at the beach:

  1. Book One Afternoon (2 Hours): Come to the studio once a month.
  2. Record 4 Episodes: Since the gear is already set up, you can knock out four 20-minute podcast episodes back-to-back. (Pro tip: Bring 3 different shirts so it looks like different days. We won't tell).
  3. Go Home: You are done for the month. Seriously.

The Magic of "Set It and Forget It"

While you are back at your shop running your business, our team (or your editor) is slicing those four episodes into:

  • 4 Full-Length YouTube Videos
  • 16 YouTube Shorts / TikToks
  • 4 Blog Posts (transcribed from audio)
  • 4 Podcast Audio Files for Spotify

Suddenly, you are posting content every single day. Your customers see your face everywhere. They think, "Wow, how do they have the time to do all this?"

Don't tell them the secret. You spent 2 hours working; the internet spent 30 days working for you.

Coming Up in Part 3: You’ve got the gear sorted. You’ve got the time blocked out. But now you're looking around your shop and realizing it looks like a bomb went off. "Where should I film? My shop is messy and loud." In the next episode, we explain why your mess is actually a marketing asset.
