Last night… which was, in fact, THURSDAY… to be clear… I had the wonderful opportunity to be on the panel at Girl Power Hour.
*insert muscle flexing here*
The theme of the evening: Making Sense of New Media.
I shared the mic… Hold on. Here is a picture of me NOT sharing the mic… On the 28th floor of the Renaissance Hotel…
But I digress.
I shared the mic with some FABulous women:
- Growing & Cultivating Your Online Community – Monica Guzman, Intersect.com
- Integrating Vlogging & YouTube – Jenny Ingram, JennyOnTheSpot.com (that’s me,*giggle*)
- Marketing with “Location-Based, Check-In Apps” – Heather Meeker, Whrrl.com
- Proving the ROI/Analytics of Social Media – Kristy Bolsinger, RealNetworks
- Basic to Intermediate Search Engine Optimization – Ruth Burr, Point It Inc.
I know. I know. The event is over and you are all, “Jenny, Jenny On the Spot… JOTS! The event is over! How is this going to help me NOW?!”
I just wanted to rub it in your face.
I actually only had about 10 minutes to share. And we all know that 10 minutes is never enough. Takethatasyouwill.
This post today is to add a bit of a “P.S..” to last night – so if any of the attendees decided to visit me here, I now have the opportunity to share – just a pinch more without any wine in my system.
- To reiterate, take a risk. Just try it.
- Use the camera on your computer… use a Flip… You don’t need a film crew to get started.
- But film crews are really cool.
- But boom mics are creepy.
- Picnik.com has a great slide show feature. Might be a fun way to get your feet wet – just using pictures…
- Creating video does take time. It just does. But it is time well-spent.
- Be creative. Play. Have fun…
And finally… A VIDEO. Because, CLEARLY if I had no video to point you to, then shame on me 😉 It is loaded with tips on getting started in the world-o-vlogging.
And here’s a VLOG that I made on the topic of giving your videos a little bit of sparkle…
Now why are you still here? Go make a video!
