Polished to Perfection? I hope not. I'm a REAL person and this is my BLOG

Yesterday I held a seminar for a local real estate franchise, Keefe Real Estate in Walworth County Wisconsin. The seminar, "Community Equals Profitability" was about building a strong community using social networking, blogging, and yes, belly-to-belly offline marketing strategies.

During the seminar I explained how there's more then one method a real estate agent can use to become a content provider. We discussed blogging, podcasting, microblogging, and the "dreaded" vlogging. I encouraged the agents to give it a try by going on Facebook and recording a quick message for a friend.

BUT....there was something missing. I hadn't really given vlogging a whirl yet, but I realized the power of this multimedia tool enough to introduce it as a viable option in my seminars. Enough to post about it on my blog in my New Year's Series,

"New Year's Consideration: Vlogging in 2009" and receive this comment,

"I'm still trying to get a handle on blogging! Is vlogging in your future?

I said yes. I continue to preach, but I haven't yet practiced anything but the art of procrastination when it comes to vlogging. I don't wear yellow feathers very well so here I go and what I want you to notice is,

• I am not saying anything earth shattering.
• Not the best lighting and no retouch on the makeup
• No staging of my messy office space

In other words, it's not perfect, but it is really me.

I recorded this yesterday afternoon. I had to mess around with some software and then decide where I wanted to upload the video to. I am truly a novice at vlogging but it was kinda fun.

I'll still blog than vlog more often. I enjoy writing the unspoken words. It fits MY business needs and I can do it comfortably, anytime of day, even in my pajamas.

So no more yellow feathers, maybe a few stray hairs:-)
