After watching the awesome season premiere of In Plain Sight on June 1st, I am ready for the new season and I couldn’t help but get into the spirit of things. I decided to make up about hiding out and let my readers try to guess where I am. It’s in the US, but you’ll really have to guess.
Can you guess where I am? I leave a few clues in this video about where I am. Try to pick them out. It shouldn’t be too hard, if you know your geography and can use google. I think I have left 4 good clues in this video.
Every time I decide to do a video, I can’t help but think about the amazing opportunities that videos can present. They are a mini video for your business. They are an opportunity to tell your customers and potential clients about your business and what you have to offer.
It’s easy to make a video. Most digital cameras can play videos out of the gate. Just point and shoot the video. All you need to do after that is transfer it to your computer and then upload it to YouTube. Use a few good tags and link to it from your blog and you are set. It’s that easy.
The barriers to use video marketing are so small that it’s shocking that more companies aren’t taking advantage of it. I know, I keep saying this, but I am resolved to use more videos in my work from this point forward.
I know there are things that I like to keep hidden from the general public knowledge for one big reason. I don’t like embarassment. I decided to share a story in my first video. It shows you what happens when you don’t pay attention to things you should pay attention to, like proper safety in inclement weather.
It also kind of reminds me about the precautions that you need to take when you enjoy Gulf oysters. They’re a great food and are very healthy as long as you use hygenic preparation methods. You can learn more about how to eat Gulf oysters safely at BeOysterAware.com. Remember, just don’t be stupid about safety like I was.
I am thinking about trying to use more videos in my posts here and on other blogs that I write. It just hit me that videos are a great way to interact with your readers and share with them information that just can’t be shared any other way.
I know my videos will suck, by and large, but they are my own creations and that’s worth a lot anyways. It shows a part of me that you may not really get a chance to see otherwise.
I am not planning on making videos too often so if I make one, you’ll know its something important or maybe jus something that’s fun.
