Lights, Camera, ACTION!
Welcome to my videos page. Since the introduction of social media, social marketing and social network sites (SNSs) such as Facebook and LinkedIn, sharing videos has become highly popular. As you may already know, over 60% of us are VISUAL learners, myself included. I have been asked to create and share videos. So, since I am a good listener, here is my simple video series.
We live in a visual world. The main objective is to create videos that are clear, useful to others, and are viewable. My goal is to keep the videos: Real, on interesting topics, keep them short and provide the ability to Learn More. To be able to share my videos everywhere they are posted on this website, on my YouTube channel, Vimeo, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, and more.
Videos are a quick and easy way to reinforce a personal or company brand, increase organic discovery on search engines, and connect with consumers on social media
To keep our dialog a continued conversation and since content is evaluated on quality, on how well it informs, entertains, teaches or illuminates truths, I welcome any feedback you may wish to share.
Sit back, click on my links, turn up your speakers and Enjoy!
