Video Your Magnetism!

?Your writing might show off your personality, but it’s just not the same. Text-based content is a very one-dimensional medium.

Video on the other hand is a MAGNETIC triple threat! Not only can people HEAR you, they SEE your body language and feel your energy and personal approach and best of all, they CONNECT with you on a deeper level.

They see your eyes sparkle, your authentic smile, hear your laugh, feel your nervous ticks (if you have any) and much, much more.

And that’s the secret.

 Body language communicates more information than you could ever hope to write.

Now what does this have to do with rapport, likability or even building your business?

If you can engage, express your authentic message faster, talk about your value, present yourself as the expert in your field over a short time, this will eliminate any stress you will have about building business brand. Video is king and here to stay, simply look at the success of YouTube with more than 1 billion unique visitors every month.

Video is engaging and entertaining…

It’s also interesting to note that the great majority of people around the world are visual learners. If you’re into fashion, make a tutorial on choosing the right shoes for the occasion and your website will get increased traffic. Demand for your plumbing services will go up when you post a how-to on fixing clogged sinks. That is how effective videos have become.

Where can Video take your Branding Efforts?

Knowing that video is the future of content marketing and the best way to enhance your online presence, it is only logical to harness that power and use it to your advantage. Competition is a reality on the Internet as it is in the real world. Video is a powerful medium to reach more prospective clients locally and globally. It’s effective in projecting your personal brand without having to introduce yourself to everyone over and over.

My Top 6 Video Tips…

1. Add a video to your website, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, because video is the future of online content marketing. 
2. Engage an expert – In order to make sure your video is compelling and of high quality, you’ll need an expert to help you out. Even the best speakers can be camera shy. With a video content coach you can determine what strategies work and which do not, so that you do not have to experiment or do any trial and error which can be a waste of time and money and more importantly your personal brand message shines through with ease.
3. Be professional – You may try to do it yourself via your mobile phone however you cannot be sure that many people, especially your target market, will take you seriously after seeing an amateur video that they’d rather forget. Be open to valuable insights that only someone from the outside looking in can provide, as well as how possible clients will see you. 
4. Be consistent – When you have created your video bio, it’s not the end of the road… Your brand needs to be consistent; so that it will be popular and stay that way. Your video content coach should be there all the way like your personal cheerleader, making sure your personal brand messages are updated are maintained over time. 
5. Project Your Success – You’re not only creating presence and visibility, video helps you to stand out from the competition, makes your ideal avatar more aware of your uniqueness and value and most of all, it helps you identify and reach your goals for success! 
6. Let's be clear – How clear is the audio? How clear is the appearance of the person within the footage? Is the setting or surroundings shown on video on brand? How does the vibe of this video feel? It is heartfelt and do you feel you connect? How succinct is the brand messaging and the content – is it high quality brand storytelling?
