YouTube Thursdays - IGTV Done Right

IGTV

 

Active Rain member, Elisa Uribe Realtor #01427070, caught our attention last week when she mentioned her IGTV series, "The Human Side of Real Estate." Elisa uploads a video each week, and they are entertaining and/or informative.


For example, we watched an informative video about forgiveness and forbearance, in terms of loans. A timely topic too, considering what some homeowners are facing due to financial changes due to the current shutdown. 


We really enjoyed watching a video of Elisa in her backyard picking mint. She tells us some of the mint with go in her coffee and tea, some in a mojito, and some in a mexican meatball soup. It's fun to get to know more about her. 

 

If you are considering using Instagram, or are already an Instagram user, you might want to explore IGTV. Keep in mind, videos must be at least one minute long. They also need to be in the MP4 file format. Here's a link for more information. 


Having a variety of videos is a good idea regardless of where you post them. And, showing the human side of real estate, and you, makes good sense. Well done Elisa!

 

A Dose of Nature As Neighbors

 

Here's a quick video we wanted to share with you showing the activity at our hummingbird feeder. They have been a joy to watch this month.  As more plants blossom in the coming weeks, visits should slow down. Right now, we refill the feeder every other day. 

 

 

 

 

Please share your video channel in the comments below. Remember, it's quid pro quo, so please return the favor.  Happy Thursday!  It's the last day of April.

Thanks Ron and Alexandra Seigel there is a little copper Rufous - and he is stunning. He doesn't know me yet, so he is very shy. I'm hoping to get some close-ups of him.

Hi Debb and Bernie:

Nice shoutout for Elisa - I will check out her videos.

Love the hummer vid - we have them at our feeders often, even with all the flowers out, but they have to share with the orioles from March until September!

Our hummers seem particularly territorial even with 2 feeders - we hardly ever see more than 1 hummer at a time at the feeder and we often see 1 land and another zooms in to chase it off!

Hi Debb and Bernie- I wondered about what IGTV was. My nephew mentioned it to me and I haven't taken the time to check it out. Good hummingbird video. Ours are back and I've been trying to get a good shot of them. 

Just viewed Elisa Uribe Realtor #01427070 video! Very well done!

Hello, Debb Janes Ecobroker and Bernie Stea JD- in Realtypack we already are active Instagram users. But we never considered IGTV, it's an interesting idea, certainly the one we will be considering for the future.

I have been learning more about Instagram recently and I think I have to start posting stories, not sure about videos as well.  Perhaps they are even one in the same, haha, I am still learning.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - I have had my issues with Instagram but I wanted to read your post with an open mind. For me, not user friendly.  It is really designed around the mobile phone and my husband does everything on the computer.  He had a program that would upload the video but it stopped working when FB bought Insta. I did go to Elisa Uribe Realtor #01427070 link and clicked to follow her.  I like the videos!  I will ask my husband to revisit this.

I enjoyed learning about the new options lenders are offering - forbearance and forgiveness are different and have different consequences for the borrower. Important points to keep in mind. I am glad you featured Elisa Uribe Realtor #01427070 video.

Hi Steffy Hristova Yes, I just reviewed these important distinctions recently. There are critical differences to keep in mind.
