Quotes from this episode:
“I love editing videos and I love the community. I made friends with people all over the world. The community is just so much fun and that is what keeps me going, knowing that I give value to people.”
“Just start with your cell phone and start talking to the camera. Talk like you’re talking to your best friend or talk like you’re telling your mom what is going on that day.”
“The more you do something, the better you’re going to get. The videos I make now are so vastly different than I first made.”
“Your story is unique to you and that is what will make you different.”
“Start with what inspires you and then find your own style from there.”
Thanks for Listening!
You’re awesome. It’s because of people like you that I get to sit around in my RV and record podcast episodes with really interesting people. If you’ve been enjoying the show and want to help others find it, I’d love a review from you in iTunes. Each and every review helps more people find the show (seriously, each one counts).
To leave a review, just click here and then go to “ratings and reviews”. It just takes a minute and I read each one :).
Hi Heath,
I just heard your podcast regarding YouTube. I had a thought that you should simply load up your old Podcasts as new videos for a channel. You can put a screenshot in of your graphic and just let the audio roll for the 50 minutes or so. Many people already do this with audio interviews. It can be a successful format. It gives people another avenue to find your work. They may not necessarily be looking for Podcasts, but they are browsing YouTube to find entrepreneurial ideas. It could be monetized for a little bit of extra money.
I really like this idea Keith and it was something I had considered but just never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the extra nudge.
It’s more work, but you might find it more successful to cut up the podcast and do short videos on individual sections. For example, her discussion on monetization could be its own short video. The easier way would be to just run the entire interview as one long video with clickable links in the description to each separate topic.
