The numbers, as we discussed here last week, are staggering: by one recent estimate, 178 million Americans watched video online in the month of April–essentially, 83 percent of the population that uses the internet. In that one month alone, people watch 13 billion videos on YouTube alone.
Are they watching you?
Coaches–like other professionals–are jumping onboard, offering video greetings on their websites and blogs, and using video to host webinars, teach classes, and share themselves with potential clients. There are few more direct and personal ways of showing someone who you are and what you’re all about than getting in front of a camera and telling your story.
Some coaches, however, may feel far more comfortable wearing a telephone headset and asking probing questions rather than sitting in front of a video camera. It’s hardly a natural experience, and as with most things, there are some tips and tricks that can make the experience easier–and lead to greater success.
In the first part of our online video series, we looked at ways to convey energy and passion on camera. In this second part, (4 minute video) we explore three tips that will help you deliver just the message you want without looking awkward.
We’ve heard from coaches who are giving some of these tips a try, and we’d love to see the videos you’re experimenting with–if you’re bold enough to share them! What else is giving you trouble and what would you most like to do with video to build your coaching business?
