The truth about video is that it's very unforgiving and it lives on forever. Like those bad hair day photos of us from the 80's, at some point in the future bad video will make you look back and moan "Ughhh! What was I thinking!" It's very important to take a few moments to spruce yourself up, check your background, practice your content... just like we do with our other marketing efforts. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I edit a few drafts of my writing before I put it online (blog comments excepted ). Video needs to be treated the same way. Toss the web cams and the bad bookcase backgrounds and be consistent with your brand and your message. :-) Nancy I so agree with this Leesa!

It came out of the so many people responding to and wanting to have videos like we had on our BrandU website. Most people today are so focused on "what" they're saying they forget that even more important is why and how. Additionally, people always forget "what" you say but they'll never forget how you made them feel. Thing is...YOU can the power to control that IF you OWN it. Thanks for being wonderful you! Know you're gaining extreme clarity with Power Path. : ) Kim Castle co-creator BrandU Lisa-

Most people today are so focused on “what” they’re saying they forget that even more important is why and how.

Additionally, people always forget “what” you say but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. Thing is…YOU can the power to control that IF you OWN it.

Sometimes, people forget that although we can delete stuff online that we leave behind "footprints". This is a good reminder to always show one's best in whatever medium they choose. Online videos do leave a lasting impression! Thanks for sharing... Jocelyn Good points, Leesa! Sometimes, people forget that although we can delete stuff online that we leave behind “footprints”.

Absolutely. But it can also help it too. I think it is truly a case by case basis. I do agree with the production value part of it. Some so called "experts" are shooting stuff with lo-quality cameras with shoddy sets and lighting. Can videos ruin your brand? Absolutely. But it can also help it too.
