Any form of the phrase '"content marketing" tends to make some people cringe and others confused. On this episode, I share why video content marketing is so incredibly powerful over any other forms of marketing save person to person interactions.

In the final episode of 2019, we start diving into the subject of how video content marketing makes your audience and potential clients pay attention to you over the competition.

However, it will still be a valid question because as new cameras continue to be released and new camera season upon us, let's see how this camera may stack up moving into the new year!

Much like kicking off a podcast, it really sucks when there's just one pilot episode of a short or podcast you're really digging. That's the same concept I'd take into starting a new YouTube channel. Now, what videos you actually launch with is going to matter as well. In this live podcast recording, I share my thoughts on what I'd do if starting a new YouTube channel from scratch and some insights into what audiences expect when they land on your channel for the first time!

I think "authenticity" is something we hear get tossed around enough in the YouTube space, it's not that uncommon anymore.

However, to be vulnerable is something altogether different.

In this week's episode of the Video Simplified Podcast, I share why I think this concept is crucial to any video content that you create and how I'm learning and beginning to see just how hard it can be to be vulnerable online.

You've probably watched Netflix before or a sports game live and we don't really think of that as live streaming or the amount of work that would go into it to make it happen.

What if it didn't take as much as you thought or cost as much as you thought? 

In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing not just some obvious reasons to live stream but why it's really going to matter outside of "increasing sales" typical talks you hear when it comes to live streaming for your business.

There is only one other thing that I would put ahead of the importance of video and that is audio. So often I'll review a video or something someone is asking me to look over and I'll see that audio quality is really great for a first-time creator and makes me really proud as a teacher. But then I take a listen and the audio isn't that bad on a speaker or laptop, but with headphones, is brutal! Today, I'm going to be sharing what to do and the why behind really focusing in on your audio and how it can really impact your video more than that blurry background.
