From What You Wanted To Be To What You Are Now

monday mingle businessVideo Blogs can help any career!

Lynsey gives questions you can answer about your career/business with the Monday Mingle Business Edition. No matter what business you are in it will help you get video content on to YouTube and your site. Customers need to trust you before they buy from you – especially online; and videos build trust much faster than type.

The link-up is hosted at The Party Plan Coach.com and everyone is invited. Thankfully, I can type her name (Lynsey) easier than saying it; the proof is at the end of the video. This week’s topic:

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? And does that play a role in where you are in your life today? Do you think there are some of the same attributes from your career choice that are present in your Small Business?

You’ll notice that I just left the green screen green. (Sounds like a song or something…) Not every blog post you write is going to be perfect, and not every vlog you upload will be totally polished. I’m going to go ahead and use this video as content, and work on making next week’s better. Don’t let the fact that your content is not “perfect” stop you from getting content out – especially video. ;)

My Business Why | Monday Mingle Business Edition

monday mingle businessSo I really should follow my own advice and jot down a simple outline. But no…I thought, “It’s just one question.” I can do this. Then I totally got sidetracked and told more the how then the why. I switched the order of the videos in editing and left my how in – & my realization of it for some laughs.

A Variety On This Week’s Monday Mingle

Monday Mingle is a casual video meme hosted by Jennifer of EightyMPHMom.com. I’ve thought about switching it to my daily life blog, but I figure that people that like video might like the rest of this site better. So, there is not usually any video tips in the Monday Mingle; just info about boring old me.

This week’s questions (submitted by Alexes from One Cluttered Brain):

  1. What is your favorite way to spend your time during the day?
  2. What do you think about guest posting on other people’s blogs? Have you ever done it before? Did you like it?
  3. What is the craziest item in your purse??

Connecting With Other Vloggers Is Fun

If you are looking for vloggers you should head to YouTube. The main problem is that there is such a wide range of people on it that it’s harder to find people like you.

One of the ways I love to connect with other video bloggers is through the Monday Mingle meme hosted by Jennifer at EightyMPHmom.com.

Here’s this week’s questions:

  1. What is the weirdest thing you did as a child?
  2. What are your top 3 guilty pleasures?
  3. What song never fails to make you think of your significant other and smile (or a family member is you do not have a significant other)?

I love to visit all the other minglers – even though I hardly ever make it around on Monday. Have a great week!

P.S. Here’s Andy Williams singing The Hawaiian Wedding Song that somebody put to a slideshow.
