The Process
How to Create the Perfect Demo Video (You Are the Guide)
Creating a compelling demo video doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a straightforward approach:
Use Your Tool as a New User: Approach your tool as if you were encountering it for the first time.
Outline User Tasks: Identify the key tasks a new user would perform initially.
Prioritize Features: Focus on showcasing the most impactful features that align with user needs.
Script the Walkthrough: Write a script that guides users through the journey, emphasizing key functionalities.
Record with Loom: Record your walkthrough using Loom, keeping the video concise (under 5 minutes).

No need for extensive editing or professional production—authenticity and clarity are key to demonstrating your product’s value.

How to Create the Self-Demo Tour (Let Them Use It Themselves)
Empower potential customers to interact with your product firsthand:
Feature Accessibility: Include essential features directly on your front-end, without gating them behind a free trial.
User Interaction: Allow users to engage with the tool, experiencing its capabilities and benefits.
Implementation Tips: Use this method for tools that are intuitive or have straightforward functionalities.
Example
An excellent illustration of this approach is remove.bg, which offers limited functionality without gating. Users can explore the tool and upgrade to unlock additional features as needed.
Conclusion: How Will This Help You?
Implementing these methods accelerates customer conversion and simplifies the onboarding process:
Enhanced User Engagement: Both approaches help users quickly understand how they can benefit from your tool, reducing decision-making time.
Transparent Onboarding: By previewing your tool’s capabilities upfront, users know what to expect, eliminating surprises and reducing friction in the adoption process.
😎 Side Note: Promptly showcasing the unique benefits (AHA feature) of your tool helps prospects make informed decisions swiftly, preventing them from exploring competitors' offerings.
