Let's get started!

My Own Journey: Embracing Short-Form Video
Last week, I shared how I built my online presence.
This week, let me tell you about my journey into the world of short-form video content.
When I first started, I was hesitant to put myself in front of the camera. But as the digital landscape evolved, I realized the immense power of short videos.
LinkedIn videos (when I started, there was no short-form video feature available) became a game-changer for me
It allowed me to share insights, connect with my audience more personally, and showcase my expertise to surgeons and my scientific community.
One platform that's been instrumental in my video journey is TeleHealth Today (telehealthtoday.net ). As a coach on this platform, I've been able to leverage short-form videos to reach more clients, especially from colleges (on https://www.youtube.com/@telehealthtoday ).
It's set to launch on November 1st, and I'm excited about the video opportunities it will offer young entrepreneurs like you!
Remember, in today's fast-paced digital age, capturing attention quickly is crucial.
Short-form videos are your secret weapon!
Spotlight: TeleHealth Today - Empowering Young Entrepreneurs Through Video
This week, I want to highlight an exciting opportunity for teen and college-age entrepreneurs. TeleHealth Today, launching on November 1, 2024 (just 3 weeks from now!), is a new SaaS coaching platform that will feature robust video capabilities, perfect for young entrepreneurs looking to make their mark.
Here's why it's so exciting for video creators:
1. Showcase Your Expertise: Use short-form videos to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in various fields.
2. Build Your Brand: Create videos that sets you apart from the competition.
3. Connect with Mentors: Watch and interact with experts in your field.
What's truly unique about THT is its focus on supporting young entrepreneurs. It's not just a platform for services - it's a community where you can grow your skills, your health, and your business.
