?? LinkedIn Video Tips That Grabs Attention

"String, my video got me a client."

That's how powerful video can be. It has a higher trust factor than a quote photo (and that type of content should stay on Pinterest or Instagram).

When I started doing video, I had no one giving me guidance. Every mistake, every thought (of stopping) they come more frequently because I did it solo.
