Video Blogging

This will be my official last non-video blog.  That's right, from here on out, I'll have my curly red head on the camera blogging about Real Estate, Entrepreneurship, Social Media, and Community.

 

I attended the www.reachd.com/omaha Online Video workshop Friday and was inspired and motivated to start using Video immediately.  Why?  Because that is the way the internet is heading.  Anyone can become a video blogger.  It's easy.  All you need is a video camera, something to say, and some free software to edit and upload your videos.  It may even be easier than traditional blogging.

I learned 5 ways to immediately use video to enhance this website.  Here they are for your reading pleasure.

1  Prepare a 45-60 second welcome video on who you are, what you do, and what you want people to do on your site.

2  Demonstrate your product (if you have one), but make it authentic and believable.

3  Tell your story about how you got into the business, who you do what you do, and what makes you great.

4  Add customer testimonial videos.  You can take them yourself or allow customers to submit their own.

5  Place a video on the contact page so people can feel comfortable about putting their contact information on your site.

Look for these 5 videos to be added to this website soon and many more.  In the meantime, enhance your own site with these video tips and send us a link so we can see how you did.
