YouTube Thursdays 5/24/2012 - Thinking out of the toy box!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with ViewHomes of Clark County - Nature As Neighbors

Charlie Dresen is one of my favorite Vbloggers in Active Rain. He is so darn good at his craft that he inspires me to work harder to improve my own YouTube Thursdaysskills. His recent video should inspire all of us - to think out of the box - and in this case, out of the toy box.

Charlie's delivering statistics about his Steamboat Springs market in a manner that is engaging and entertaining - using a few props out of the toy box.  Even if you're not in the market for a house in Steamboat Springs, Charlie's managed to find a way to captivate his viewers.

Imagine how much fun he had with these tiny houses, a toy truck, a kitty cat and a darling little boy named Finn. I can't imagine having that much fun discussing the local inventory of homes, but I know Charlie has inspired me to give it my very best shot.

If you're looking for creative ideas and inspiration, please join YouTube Thursdays and the Vbloggers group. Real Estate professionals who use video for marketing may be in the minority, but we're an enthusiastic and growing group of people - in and out of the Rain. 

Feel free to leave a link to your own YouTube Channel, or a recent video in the comments section. This is one spot where you're encouraged to turn the spotlight on yourself and your video marketing efforts. Thanks for the visit and let's all try to go "shoot something" today.

 Charlie's about to shed some light on the Steamboat Springs Housing Market - in 1:25 seconds, and you're going to actually enjoy it! Imagine that.

Starting together in an urban environment, over the years we've gravitated towards areas with smaller populations and less density. We now enjoy our lifestyle in a rural environment, but with close proximity to metropolitan areas where we appreciate all the amenities of fine restaurants, shopping, and an easy drive to an international airport.
Living in ViewHomes™ is like having “elbowroom for the soul”.

I keep saying that I need to do more with Vblogging. I'm doing a few videos for houses, but I'm not doing enough for the community with it.

Bud and Beth, and that's the point. I would want to hire Charlie for his tech savvy and his creativity plus his great knowledge of Steamboat - and that's how video helps us get clients.

Hi Joan, he does have the knack doesn't he?

Debbie, you are an open and creative mind...I like that it makes you want to think about how you can do something similiar.

Hi there Janis, doesn't it inspire you?

Ha Roger, my one and only fan club member. Love ya. ;)

Todd, you would be so darn good at community videos.

Hurray Toni, we love that you have joined us. We can't, or shouldn't be just like Charlie, just be yourself, that's the real power of video connections.

Debb,

That's a very cool video and it really makes a good point. Don't waste time, know exactly what you want and know that your choices are limited. Act fast because of you snooze, you loose!

Your work is always outstanding and very much appreciated!
