Life As Usual Video Blog #9 – Community, Not Views

Every week I do a video blog (of VLOG). This week I talked about the cheapness of views.

When I started this,  I was very scared of putting myself on video, so I got the courage and put myself in the arena, killing a lot of bad self talk.This gives me the chance to work on my communication skills, start a new medium, and experiment!

Once a week, after I have thought about them, I will give them a day here on the blog.

These aren’t just promotion posts (although they are, please watch and share :-) ) I want to take the time to break them down and try to clarify what I want to communicate and the tactical things I learned through doing.

What I Wanted To Communicate About Community

Views are super cheap. Today if you want, they are available for almost no money. What matters is the ability to connect.

  • A Face In The Crowd syndrome – Content is everywhere. I am not in the views game. Accidentally winning once or twice means nothing. 2005 a million views meant success and fame, now I see, without trying, 20 videos a day with millions of views, all different, all new.
  • Connection – The best thing is connection, a community. Much more worth it to get a one to one connection than a many to one.  I love every person that reads this, and when I get the opportunity to engage via email or social media, not much is better.

What I Learned Doing This Video

  • Felt better using my hands, do it more.
  • Pre production is my next step. How do I improve the content and quality with the preparation
  • I should cut more segments. Easier to edit, and easier to see the bigger picture.
