3 Reasons to Make Your Video
January 17, 2008
Austin, Texas is a great place to live and I am very grateful for the community we have here.
(Momentary lapse into daydreaming…) It was a great run during those dot com years. Well, at my house it was. SXSW, the arts, the tech community, the longstanding Austin character(s)… it’s a good place to be. However, just like being on tour, eventually the magic has to wind down and the bus has to head towards home. You collect your dirty laundry from the bus, jump in your car and return to see what has changed since you left.
So what does this have to do with why you should be making videos for your service or business? Plenty…
- The World has Changed and Continues to Change (faster pussycat!) - Ummm… yes, I know… you didn’t need me to remind you. Or did you (hopefully not)? It is absolutely amazing how fast everything is changing. Like it or not, the entire face of how we do business and trade shells has changed. Wake up call: to remain relevant and useful to your customers a new level of communication and sharing (community) is required. It’s not us vs. them anymore. It’s we. Or rather… “weeeeee”. And nothing communicates honesty and emotion better than sight - sound - motion… yup… video.
- People Demand Character - Yes, people demand character and also that you be a “character”. Your customers want to know you (unless of course you are Close Talker - step back, please… geez). Video encourages you to be yourself. For better or worse. Mr. Vanilla and Ms. Safe are the losers in this race. Frankly, I’m glad. It’s great to see all the people who were marched out of their cubicles for “being different” now coming into their own. After all, that’s where the new ideas come from. So get out there. own your industry. Take risks. Get in front of the camera and let out the passion.
- You Need the Practice - This is a skill set you are going to be needing and using more as time goes on. Might as well start learning (and innovating) now. One of the benefits as technology becomes affordable and accessible to the masses is that people dump the manual and act spontaneously. Novices achieve things the “experts” couldn’t or wouldn’t. Why? Because they “didn’t know it couldn’t be done”. So they did it. So get out there. Sell yourself by being true to yourself and let your self get used to being in front of the camera. Plus, you’ll love it.
