A few words
from
e.h. howard
Welcome to
the school
I’m Ed Howard, founder of E.H. Howard Correspondence School. I help self-employed and small business owners create content that actually sells—without selling out. This mini course is my no-fluff guide to turning your phone into your best unpaid employee.
If you’ve got one day and something to sell, you’ve got everything you need.
This course is a love letter to every business owner who ever wanted to make their own commercial but didn’t know where to start. It’s built to help you turn your phone into a money-making machine, with smart, simple steps to create short-form video content that sells. If you’ve got 12 hours and a business to grow, you’ve got everything you need.
You run the whole show—and let’s be honest, even if you had help, you’d still do most of it yourself. That’s why we built the E.H. Howard Correspondence School: smart, sassy mini-courses for hands-on business owners who’d rather do than sit through another boring webinar.
Learn branding, sales, marketing, design, and more—on your terms, from home, without the buzzwords. No fluff, no suits, just skills that actually help you grow the business you meant to build. Let’s get to it.
In this mini course, you’ll learn how to:
Success Stories
these former students have in absolutely no way been paid by EHHCS or it's affiliates to say the awesome and amazing things they've said.
Eustice K.
“I took the mini-course while pretending to be on a Zoom call. Two weeks later, I doubled my rates and started using words like ‘brand equity’ in casual conversation. Nobody’s caught on yet.”
Denise Q.
“I took ‘Operators Are Standing By’ and now I pitch like a late-night infomercial host… but sexier. Clients actually call back. Even my ex texted ‘nice work.’ Coincidence? I think not.”

you need

You don’t need a studio. You don’t need fancy gear. You definitely don’t need to buy airtime. You just need the right skills—and that’s exactly what this course gives you.
Create at least two (02) video “commercials” that sell your business and its offerings which can immediately be uploaded as a Short, Reel, or TikTok

you have everything
Spoiler alert: You don’t need fancy equipment to make scroll-stopping content.
This video breaks down how to start creating now—with nothing more than your phone and some nerve.
but i don't have a luxurious studio
the space you’re in
Whether it’s your background, lighting, or where you’re filming, the space around you sells just as hard as your pitch.
Learn how to shape your filming space so it sells your brand, not distracts from it.

happens
in a mini course?
just because it's mini, doesn't mean you don't get a lot!
Brainstorming
We all want to find the best, most innovative solution to our sales and marketing problems. We want to
Brainstorming helps you discover the best solution to the challenge before you by asking: What If?
Features
Some times, we need to see how others are working to resolve a challenge. We can glean insight from their solution.
Features put the problem into perspective through example.
Challenges
How do you know if something that you’re doing is working? How do we know it’s the right solution, the one we need? Challenges!
Challenges put your renewed skills and thinking to the test.
Lectures
There’s more than just doing drills and building skills to learning. You need context. You need to know the why.
Lectures give you the background, the context and the why to really solidify and deepen your learning.
Research
Part of having a robust and successful marketing strategy is knowing what separates you out. You need to stand out not blend in.
Market Research walks you through the process of making sure what you say and is unique.
Skill Building
You’ve got the chops. This isn’t your first day at the rodeo. You know what your doing, you just need to put them use differently. In a more modern way.
Skill Building takes you step by step through the process of modernizing your skills.

What if I don’t know how to film or use any gear?
No problem. We’ll plan your video around the gear you do have—even if it’s just your phone and a half-dead ring light. Good content > fancy cameras..
Do I need fancy editing software to make this work?
Nope. I’ll give you a shooting plan that works even if you’re editing in iMovie, CapCut, or yelling into Canva. You can keep it simple and look pro.
Can you help me look and sound confident on video?
100%. You’ll get tips on pacing, delivery, what to emphasize, and how to be “camera-ready” without needing glam or a TED Talk setup.
What kind of content can you help with?
Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, talking heads, promo videos, pitch clips, behind-the-scenes footage—if you’re putting it on the internet to grow your business, I can help make it clearer, sharper, and more you.
⸻
Do I need to be on camera?
Only if you want to. This isn’t about becoming an influencer—it’s about making content that works for your brand. Whether it’s you, your product, or a bunch of captions over B-roll, I help you do that better.
⸻
I’m new to this. Is that okay?
Yes. In fact, this is especially for you. No team? No fancy gear? No problem. I work with real, scrappy, DIY creators who are doing their best with what they’ve got. That’s where I come in.
⸻
What do I send you?
A link or file of your video (or draft), plus any “I’m stuck” notes. If you have a script or outline, cool. If not, we’ll wing it together.
⸻
Written or recorded feedback—what’s the difference?
Written = a breakdown you can read like a checklist.
Recorded = me talking through your video like your content coach on call.
Both are honest, direct, and designed to get you moving.
⸻
What’s a strategy call like?
One part creative therapy, one part content boot camp. We’ll talk through what’s working, what’s missing, and where to go next. You’ll leave with clarity and a plan. Pajamas optional.
⸻
Can you edit my video?
Sadly, no. I will teach you how and suggest tools, templates, or even walk you through how to do it better yourself. Empowered DIY is kinda my thing.
