Episode 70
We have all heard that to communicate effectively, engage with people and build your business you need to be doing video. But if you are anything like me I can always find an excuse to not produce a video. Even though part of what I do is I speak for a living.
Why you've got to check out today's episode:
Video is one topic that people get apprehensive about doing.
What could be stopping you from doing videos?
Is it pressure from consistently coming up with video content, or is it about fear of not coming up with a video that goes viral? Perhaps, not having time adds to your reasons.
But before coming up with some more excuses, let's listen to our guest's insights first as she addresses your struggles and all your other video concerns.
Today, on the 'personally brandtastic' podcast, Suzanne Glover shares how you can successfully use video to sell an intangible product, as in the case of real estate investors, even without your video content going viral.
She recommends video content ideas to engage your audience and grow your business. She also shares how you can incorporate videos into your customer journey sequence and create a system around the vehicle you use video for.
With that said, you can use your influence as the authority and expert in your niche and impact your audience and your real estate investing business' bottom line.
