So lately, I've begun adding video to my website posts and articles. I LOVE VIDEO! :)
This brings out a creative part of me that I honestly never knew I had. I've done a lot of SHARING of videos, but I now realize how valuable it can be for readers to SEE something that they have come to learn instead of simply READING about it.
They can bookmark the page, come back to it, etc...
For example, in this particular site, which is at Total Fitness For You, there are videos that illustrate certain things - such as fitness moves (as you'll see in the page about muscle building). There, I actually introduce the reader to the people behind the products - and it shows them as real people.
In this case, Vince and Flavia Del Monte aren't actors. And I personally think that's GOOD because most of us in this world are just regular, non-acting folks.
Am I right?
So, the more I can put "real people" into my articles, posts, etc, the better.
At least that's the way I see it.
I have found that when I do this, my "work" doesn't really seem like work - so that means that this is adding a particular value to my work! It's flowing so easily - it feels so natural.
If you are running websites, I really suggest adding some video - even if you don't make them yourself - you can find a really nicely done video on a related topic, and as long as the owner of the clip doesn't mind, you can embed it into your site (I have permission from the owners here).
I'll show a few other places where I've done this; particularly for my husband's blog. Stay tuned!
