Thank you for your interest in becoming a featured Happiness Assistant on Happiem! To help you stand out and get featured on the main page of our website, we ask that you submit a short introduction video that highlights your personality and enthusiasm for helping others. Below are some detailed guidelines to help you create a polished and professional video that reflects your best self.
1. Shoot in the Morning or Daytime
Natural light is your best friend when recording a video. The best time to shoot is in the morning or early afternoon when the light is bright but soft. Position yourself facing a window or a well-lit area, so your face is clearly visible. Avoid recording in dim or dark environments, as it makes the video appear less professional.
2. Keep it Bright and Friendly
This is your moment to shine—literally and figuratively! Make sure the lighting is bright enough that viewers can see you clearly. The more friendly and inviting your video looks, the better it will represent you. Use a well-lit room or natural outdoor space where the lighting is even and flattering.
3. Smile and Be Energetic
Your energy and enthusiasm are important, so make sure to smile throughout the video. This should feel like an exciting introduction to a new friend! Let your personality shine by speaking clearly and confidently. A warm smile can help convey that you’re approachable and excited to help people achieve their goals.
4. Keep it Simple—No Sunglasses, Hats, or Distracting Accessories
The goal of this video is to introduce yourself in the most authentic way possible. Keep it casual but professional by avoiding sunglasses, hats, or other accessories that may cover your face or distract from your message. Eye contact is crucial for creating a connection with viewers, so make sure your eyes are clearly visible.
5. Stick to the 15-Second Limit
Your video should be short and to the point—no longer than 15 seconds. This will make sure it’s concise and easy for potential clients to watch without losing interest. Practice your script a few times to make sure you’re hitting all the important points without going over the time limit.
Here’s a sample script to follow:
“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m excited to be your personal Happiness Assistant. I’m here to help you set and achieve your goals, plan fun activities, and make the most of your time. Let’s work together to bring more happiness into your life!”
6. Record on Your Phone—No Fancy Equipment Needed
You don’t need any special equipment to record your video—your smartphone is perfect. Just make sure to hold the phone horizontally (in landscape mode) for a professional look. Ensure the camera is steady (use a stand or prop it up if needed) and that the audio is clear.
7. Upload to YouTube and Submit the Link
Once you’ve recorded your video, upload it to YouTube as an unlisted video (this way, only people with the link can view it). Make sure the video title includes your name, so it’s easy to identify. After uploading, copy the video link and paste it into the form provided on our website.
Here’s how to upload an unlisted video to YouTube:
- Go to YouTube and sign in.
- Click on the “Create” Button at the top to upload your video.
- Select “Unlisted” in the visibility settings.
- Title your video as “[Your Name] – Happiem Assistant Introduction.”
