October 2014 Virtual Meeting Recap

Thanks, Richard Dunn, author of How I Shot the YouTube Megahit “All by Myself” on My iPhone and Why I’m Not Lonely Anymore, for joining us for the October virtual meeting on BlogTalkRadio. We talked about Richards book and viral video, as well as how to create unique and easy videos to promote your story/book/expertise/self.

Watch Richard’s video: “All by Myself.”

Some of Richard’s advice for shooting videos from the show:

• When you shoot/create a video, there’s nothing more engaging than a common space with uncommon circumstances.

• Catch people’s attention, try different angles, get a cheap tripod or find a way to stabilize your camera and make sure your lighting is good.

• Don’t be normal. We are so overwhelmed with content online, find different ways to do things. Be silly. Normal behavior will get normal results. You want results that are out of the ordinary.
