Brief History of Blogging and Vlogging:

What is the difference between a blog and a vlog  (video blog). 
The term weblog was coined only in 1997 and shortly after the term ‘blog’ started to be used.
Vlog is a blog that has a video embedded in it. 
The word ‘vlog’ started to be used first in 2002.

Shooting a video of yourself seems scary at first.  It’s  like making a selfie.  Even President Obama does this.

Making Your Online Business Simple

Suggestion from Multicultural Perspective:

Today because of Internet Home Business spreading so wide, many people own their own international businesses. In corporations, managers get cross-cultural training.  So it is really important for you as emerging leaders to become more sensitive to these areas.

 For people from Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan, if English is not their primary language, it is very difficult to distinguish the ‘b’ and ‘v’ sounds.  You may have some Asians on your team.  It will help to be very mindful of these cultural and linguistic features.

5 Top Reasons to Vlog in Your Business:

If you are already blogging, you are simply adding to shoot videos.
Especially if you are intending to get traffic to you website, blog site and make more friends on Facebook.  To sell your products.  To promote you seminars or webinars.

1]  Fast and quick value:

You will give more of who you are and what you are presenting to your prospects.  They will begin to feel they know you.  They get your message in a shorter period of time.   Their experience is much richer with seeing your video.

2] It all has to do with YouTube popularity: 

People love watching stuff on YouTube.  After you shoot your video, you will upload it to  your YouTube channel. You have to simply accept.  It’s like watching a TV or movie over reading a book.  More entertainment value.  

In my Mastermind group, our members share ideas, stats and results.  Many members have reported that since they started to do YouTube, they started to get more leads (customers opt-in and give their e-mail addresses when they see landing pages or banners.  I also belong to a community of thousands of people and attend live webcast and hang outs.  The results shared in these weekly mastermind groups are very much the same.

People watch your YouTube and click the link you provide and come to your blog.

 

3] A low budget video is easy and acceptable:

It is easy to take a selfie.  I am sure you have done this.
You are simply making a video.  Get simple tips on a simple gadget or two or you are not always holding your smart phone to shoot a video or depending on someone to shoot you in action.  Get a few tips from this blog.

2 Extra-Handy Tools For Making Better Quality Videos Of Yourself for Marketing

Contrary to popular opinions, your iphone, Galaxy, Blackberry or any other smart phone will be good enough to make a quality resolution video.  Whatever you choose is fine.  It is so much easier than you think. {My video here is not the best high resolution quality.  Because it was getting late from a meeting on a way to another meeting.  So I simply stopped at a parking lot of my favorite health food store to shoot this in my car.   So it’s very convenient.  Being in action is the most important thing.}

You really don’t want to invest in a high resolution camera at this point.  Unless you are a committed photographer, it becomes very cumbersome.  You don’t want to carry a heavy camera, tripod and all other accessories necessary.

You’ll be travelling and moving around a lot to do an effective campaign.  A low budget video campaign.

When you are introduced to the Simple 3 Step System, you’d be really committed to make your business very successful for yourself and for your team… but will learn to use your money wisely.  Just remember what I am sharing is what I learned and implemented … from the Industry’s top leaders, 6 and 7 figure-earners.

4]  Google and other search engines love YouTube: 

YouTube is owned by Google.  So when you post your video on YouTube and post your vlog (video has been embedded), your YouTube video would get ranked on a top page of Google.  Of course you will have done a keyword search. Your YouTube is easily ranked higher than your blog or vlog. 

Search engines weigh heavily YouTube in favor.  You get more traffic and people will discover you.
My YouTube got ranked very high on the first page of Google within matter of hours after posting.

5] Meeting people’s needs.  People don’t have the time:

 They will make the time if they become interested.  I am one of them.  Isn’t this true about you?

I find a great blog post on Internet.  And it goes on and on, I am scrolling down.  It looks interesting but I really don’t have the time.  I would love to read it later but I didn’t save its link.   Then, I cannot find it again.

Attract people, your prospect with a simple and concise video.  Unless you are archiving a seminar or webinar, you really want to keep your video short to 2-3 minutes. (This one is 4:33 minutes.)   

In my subsequent blogs I will cover more tips on systems, content creation and technical issues (techie stuff.)

Many professionals are using social media sites to promote their businesses.  Many of them already have their own websites.  If you have not started to blog, you may be missing on what your competitors or even your upline is already doing. 

Things are not as complicated as you imagine.  Learn to promote your business more appropriate in a new era of Internet. Take a look at this system based on utilizing blog posts and monetizing.   Thousands of people have earned sizable residual income from this  simple system.
