Brand On! Marketing Tools & Tips

By Brandon Uttley • Issue #33 • View online

I wouldn’t say I was “scared” of doing videos…but I definitely avoided them for a long time.

This year, I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone by starting to publish my podcast interviews on YouTube.

I have four (4!) subscribers as of today. So trust me, it’s not about the exposure at this point. It’s more about taking my own medicine, practicing and getting in the reps.

I enjoy it, and I’m proud to say I’m making a real effort to embrace video. If you’re reluctant to be on camera, let me assure you it’s not that hard—and you can probably get away with no one watching for awhile. 😀
