You've heard it for the past two years, "Use more video in your marketing mix." But still, most small businesses don't. In this episode, Gina shares simple and practical steps to get started and give all the stats you need to motivate you to do it! 

Be sure to connect with Gina to share the video you create! 

This fun hack will help you connect with more people on your social media platforms and more importantly, it will help you build relationships faster.

Sometimes we pack our social profiles with so many hashtags or with information telling people what we are selling, that it doesn't allow people to connect. Some don't put enough in their bios to tell people what to expect when connecting.

HOMEWORK: play with your bio and add some fun facts that will help us connect with you and then connect either here in the comments or on your favorite social channels to let us know. @GinaSchreck on Twitter. Gina Schreck on LinkedIn

I love her advice to new entrepreneurs:

• Have money set aside so you don't start out desperate
• Form a strong network of partners 
• Don't go it alone--keep building the network of REAL in-person friends to meet with.
