vBlog – Twittering with a Real, Authentic and Sustainable Voice

by JimRaffel on January 21, 2010

Periodically I will be making vBlog posts. Just as my writing has improved dramatically over the past five years so will my “camera presence.” I guess when Mom told me “practice makes perfect” she wasn’t kidding. Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think, I’d love to hear the vBlog tips of others.

    Whats up with Twitter ? I think this is what you were trying to convey here. You explained that you tweeted from a conference. Then you rambled about authentic and sustainable things – which I still do not seem to understand even after watching this three times – and then your summary was that twitter is cool and it changed you life. I remain confused.

    vBlog tips?

    Do not vBlog ‘from the hip’. Share something useful. Show something cool. I like Frank Romanos vBlog at WTT. State a problem, explain how people try and resolve it, then explain your approach.

    That will keep ‘em coming back.

    I want to thank Michael (and others) for the positive constructive criticism on my first vBlog post. Lots of of good advice which will be taken to heart and utilized in future posts. The cool part…there is no place to go but up from here! In a year we will all be able to look back at this post and a) chuckle a little bit (yes, I can laugh at myself) and b) see how far I’ve come.

    Thanks to all,

    Jim

    For your very first vblog I see what you we’re trying to do, break yourself in to it, done. But yes, a vblog on the concept of R A S makes sense too. Congrats for having the guts to just DO IT! Well done sir.

    Only *perfect* practice makes perfect! Vlogs are much easier to read than text anyway
