Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion Face Up: Who's Done a Biznik Video?

Going through the pages of members is too time-consuming, so I'm wondering:

  1. Who has already produced and posted a Biznik online video?
  2. How many takes did it take to get it right and what were your biggest challenges?

Hoping to learn from you all before I make mine. From your responses, I'll know which member profiles to check.

38 Bizniks have posted replies

    Thanks Howard! I don't think I ever got a 10!

    Yeah, now the pressure is on. Judy was my artist, maybe she could start a side biz selling these? : )

    Terrific video Bob. It was a nice way to meet you before I actually get to meet you. Looking forward to that day.....soon.

    Thanks for the heads up on Sierra's video, Dennis. It's great...her personality and caring really shows through.

    Elizabeth, thanks for the compliment! Again, it's amazing how many times I started and restarted. Maybe my next one should be outtakes on this first one. I would just need to figure out how to bleep out some of my words.

    Looking forward to meeting you at lunch at the end of this month!

    Bob - I thought that was the best part of it. Once you get a sense of her, you have to love her, and you know she'll take good care of you. It's hard to get that from text or still pics.

    I haven't done it yet.

    Hey hey... before you hurt me, know this: It took forever before I put up my real picture on Biznik. I feel that I still have a good 2 years to go before... ;]

    Oh, Elizabeth. In your video, you bear a striking resemblance to one of my all-time favorite musicians. How did you do that????

    Come on, Andrey. Puhleeeeeze? You can hold your penguin. Sometimes it helps to have a prop. ; )

    It's only a picture... I'll need to get him made into a stuffed animal. ;]

    Wait... wait a second! Where is your video?! Over a month has gone by since you started this post. I'm not in the video in my profile... but at least I have a video. =P

    [You know I'm teasing...]

    I know, I know. Hey, I'm a writer. I'm still working on my script. ;)

    Seriously, Bob, the tech wizard, has promised to sit down with me this weekend and walk me through it.

    Tune back in on Monday.

    Looks like this might be the place to announce your video debut.

    So it took me two takes to make my video and about two days figuring out how to post it.

    I'm pleased with how it came out and I know it could be a lot better. It was fun and its the "real" me.

    I will begin to check out all of your videos and will let you know if I see or hear something someone has not commented about.

    If you have a moment to check out mine I would love to hear some feedback.

    Judy, I'll be looking for that video.

    Hey, Mark.

    I watched your video. You come across friendly and so natural! You have paced your voice (I have a tendency to speak too fast, especially when I'm nervous!). To me, you are approachable.

    The only thing I might consider next time is telling a personal story or two (no names, of course) about how you helped someone. (Here was the problem, this is how I helped them solve it.) It adds that personal touch. Funny, our e-tip going out today is all about the power of stories in marketing. I think it's especially crucial that realtors show their uniqueness and stories can help you do that.

    Great job, Mark. Mine will be up by the end of the weekend. Pressure's on!

    I just did a video... but a little different from the others I have seen here. Trying to be a little educational about some of the nifty services I wander across. I embedded it on my profile, but it is a bit small.

    You can also see it directly on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em5iSlEJ4ZU
