Hi, it's Jan at My Local Business Online. Good Morning!
Welcome to day 1 of Bonnie Gean's Video Blogging Challenge. Now, I am going to apologise in
advance as I don't have a video camera. Indeed, I don't do on-screen video. You won't see
my face often at all. However, it is Bonnie's video challenge and I wanted to at least attempt
to take part. So I'm using my video webcam which is less than ideal. If this thing goes
well and I get over my hurdles of speaking on camera then it's a direction I want to
go into anyway. You might be wondering why the hell I am doing
this if I am not comfortable, it's because... Well two reasons.
First of all I need to get over myself and get it done. And secondly, I did a chat at
a networking and seminar morning last Friday. I was talking about local business blogging.
Now video blogging goes hand in hand with that. Local video has a huge potential for
local businesses to really start expanding their reach, widening their audience, improving
online visibility – just using a different media format that goes hand in hand with blogging
that helps you get found easily when done correctly as well.
So I really want you to join me too in Bonnie Gean's Video Blogging Challenge I'll be leaving
the links on the screen and below this video too. You can pop over to her blog to see what
it's all about and join the Google Plus community as well to share your videos.
Basically, it's Monday to Friday throughout March posting a short video. Now I don't know
yet how I am going to achieve Monday to Friday because quite frankly I'm up to my eyes in
work at the moment! I am definitely going to try!
I've made the first step. It's 8.30 in the morning. Good Morning! For me that's the equivalent
to the crack of dawn! I've got up especially to make this video before I start work because
if I leave it till the end of the day, it won't get done.
From me and my coffee – good morning to you. I hope you join me in Bonnie Gean's Video
Blogging Challenge. I'll speak to you soon.
