NORTH RALEIGH REALTOR ~ INTRODUCTORY VIDEO, TAKE ONE

By
Real Estate Agent with Raleigh Cary Realty NC Broker #178638

Everywhere I turn, I’m being told I have to get into video blogging!  Active Rain has a group devoted to it (Vbloggers) --  every professional development seminar and guru is touting it --  internet and social-media consultants can’t stop talking about it.  So I bought a camera. 

Unfortunately, buying a camera wasn’t enough. I had the camera (a little  Kodak Vi8) for about six months without taking anything more than a few disultory shots of geese and ducks at a local lake.  It was hard to see how that footage was going to increase my business, so I let it sit in the camera.  

Then I attended a repeat of a “Video Marketing Machine” presentation offered by Franco and Barb Multari, local lenders who are enthusiastic users of video to promote their own business.  Second time was the charm!  I got out the camera and started trying to record a 60-second introductory video.  Here is Take One.    

Clearly it’s going to take a while before I’m ready for prime time!  But at least I’m on my way.

Diane, I LOVE it.  We are at the same stage, except I haven't even bought the camera.

Oh Marge, buying the camera is the easiest part of the whole deal!  THEN you have to learn how to turn it on -- and after that there's no end to it.  Record, delete, upload, download, speak intelligently, speak intelligibly, and don't forget to smile!  Edit, add music, add voiceover -- seriously?  

Go get the camera on Amazon and send me your first effort.  I'll be waiting!
