I can't believe it, today is day nine of a thirty day business blogging challenge that I'm doing. And you know me, I don't like to make things easy. So I decided to make each of my blogs a video blog, that means not only researching and then writing several hundred words, it means complimenting that content with a video.
If you've missed out, here's a summery of the best blogs from neilben.tv the past week or so.
If you are creating new content day after day it can be quite tough to come up with new ideas every day. So how do you do it?
The big question I asked in this vlog was "Is it ok to steal other people's ideas?"
A lot of people think I'm a videographer, well I'm not. This post was about why you should stand up for your expert status and demand to be called by your expert title.
"Stand up for your position, your job title and your skills, because people will trust you and elevate you and think “yes” that is the guy I want to work with."
Don't get me wrong, video is great and the sooner you start using it's amazing power to grow your business the better, and even the simplest video will make a massive difference.
But once you start building your confidence in front of and behind camera the camera you need to start mixing it up and creating videos different from the normal.
The reason this is number 2 is because this is going to be an amazing event in an amazing venue, and what better way to promote a Masterclass that people will not want to miss, is through my vlog.
"You know you need video on your website and social media. You know video can help raise your profile, attract new customers, and transform your business. But you also know that professional video can be expensive.
On this one-day masterclass, you will learn how to harness the power of video without breaking the bank – by using your own smartphone and tablet."
