I’m just back from a walk through the bluebell woods with a friend and we loved the fact so many people were out, enjoying their day.
All too often you can get stuck staring at screens, especially if you’re writing or creating content, so I thought this week we’d talk about something you can create when you’re out and about…
And that’s videos.
You can make a video on the move with a few tips, as an insight into your life so that you build a deeper connection with your audience or even as part of a course or podcast.
All you need is a smartphone and you’re good to go.
Plus people absolutely love videos, especially if you keep them nice and short.
These days, I like to keep even the training videos I create nice and concise. I’d rather make more, shorter videos than overwhelm people with an hour or so of material they probably will give up on half way through.
That said, there’s always more to learn about video creation and marketing as things evolve and change so here are some great resources to help you…
