Gary Vaynerchuk says that LinkedIn is where Facebook was five years ago and that if we’re serious about building an audience that LinkedIn is the channel we should be using today in 2022.

Why is video marketing better than other forms? Really simple. It allows you to connect more effectively with your audience. Video marketing is simple. Pull out your phone, answer a question, just like I'm doing here and connect with your audience.

So nearly 40 years ago when I was a child and my parents had a retail business in the small town I grew up in Michigan every week, my dad would plan what they were going to run in the local shoppers paper that coming week for an ad. Why? While they wanted to get in touch with their audience and they wanted to remind them why they should come into the store and buy the products that my parents sold. Your business is no different today. You need to figure out how to get in front of your audience and get their attention. The problem is the local shoppers guides probably not the way to do it anymore. In 2022, there is an easy solution and that's going to be even easier than it was last year. That solution it's video, but more importantly, it is short form video, short videos of less than 60 seconds that allow you to get in front of your audience. Talk about what it is that you do to make their lives better. And as a result, get them to pay attention to you, your business and the products and services that you provide. So this week, I want to challenge you to create not 10, not 20, but one short form video. What's a short form video, a video of less than 60 seconds talking about very simply how it is that your business makes your prospect's lives better. I don't want you to talk about your products. I don't want you to talk about your services. I don't want you to mention a price. I simply want you to make a short video of 60 seconds or less telling them how it is that you make their lives better. I'll be doing the same thing and posting it on my channel. I'd like you to post links to yours as well. Maybe in addition to the normal traffic, we'll get you some extra eyeballs as well. So that's the challenge for this week. Don't worry about the shopper's guide as my parents did 40 years ago, when they were in business this time, I want you to focus on short form video, grab your smartphone, pull it out, just like I'm doing here and record a short video. You'll see mine in the comments. Thanks. And make it a great day.

Impress and amaze your customers and prospects by creating short videos to say "Thank You" and to respond to their questions. Pull out that smart phone and build relationships in less than a minute!

"I know only half my marketing works. The problem is, I don't know which half." Well that's supposedly came from PT Barnum, and I don't know if he said it or not, but I know in many cases it's unfortunately true. So my question for you is how much of your marketing is working? Well, let me pose it this way, there's a simple process you can do to find out whether or not, more, or less than 50% of your marketing is working and give you the tips of the things you need to do to help improve that percentage. If you treat your marketing like a shotgun approach and just try things, Willy nilly, you probably aren't even getting half of it working. On the other hand, if you take a defined, purposeful approach to it, as I'm going to show you how to do through this checklist, then you can probably do far far better. I'm going to push maybe 80 plus percent of that marketing to be effective. So if you'd like to find out how to make your marketing much more effective, download this internet marketing checklist, take a look. https://valorouscircle.com/form-get-your-free-internet-marketing-checklist/ It takes a few minutes to complete. And if you've got questions, reach out, I'd be happy to help. Thanks and make sure more than half of your marketing works. Make it a great day.
