Video has remained one of the easiest forms of communication and it can help you gain a strong following if you put some thought in. If you don’t think about it and just film all willy nilly, than your lack of presentation and thought is like walking into an audition without having showered for a week and the green fuzz in your teeth is about to be your only friend.

IS PERISCOPE GOOD FOR BUSINESS? 5 Top Tips To Get The Best From Periscope Guest Blog Post By Amazon Best Selling Author Victoria Rose As a Leadership Trainer with over three decades of experience in talking to people for days on end, surely live broadcasting should be relatively easy? Having faced both large and small audiences, some hostile, some friendly, one would think I was well prepared for Periscope. Not so. Even the learning curve of producing my own videos for the last three years does not compare to a Periscope live broadcast (called a Scope). Whilst I finally got the cringe factor down from a 10 to a four when editing my videos, live broadcasting takes the cringe-factor to a whole new level of cringe. It’s all because of that four letter word … “LIVE” Why? No chance to edit out the bad bits like you can with a video. No slide-show to keep you on track and no ability to control the questions like you can with a face-to-face workshop. Those constant, often irrelevant, questions and comments moving up the screen as you enthusiastically speak your words of wisdom can really throw you off track. For instance, when explaining a key concept to surviving the minefield of life then to be asked if I did my own makeup makes one doubt the worth of those words. Trolls populate every platform and that’s certainly true for Periscope. One such troll asked if I sucked d#@k. Thankfully, I knew how to block offenders.

JOIN THE VIDEO MARKETING REVOLUTION Guest Blog Post & Blab By Preston Odenbrett What Is Your Favourite Travel Destination? (Blab Video Replay) Video marketing has definitely arrived in a big way!! YouTube statistics indicate that it has more views and more uploads per minute than many other major channels and both individuals and businesses alike are consuming video at an ever increasing rate. Why would that be surprising? Look at how long it took TV to take over households back in the 1950’s when radio was the major medium for most households. I believe TV gained 50% adoption five years less time than radio did. Video today is getting a massive lift due in part that Social Media is allowing video to be part of postings. Many who are in the video business have been watching this bubble grow larger each and every year and some people say that video will take over the internet in the next five years or less. It helps that bandwidth speeds have gone up and providers are allowing the bandwidth to go through cable but also through the air using many mobile devices that are in the market today. Virtual Reality (VR) The future is here - users can now be in a room at their home or office and be able to place an object lets say a motorcycle and be able to rotate and actually manipulate the object in anyway the user decides. If you remember Star Trek and some other TV shows in which you can change the environment that they are in and be able to share that with others to...
