Let's Have A Real Chat

How do you feel about showing your face on video?

There are a lot of videos on Youtube & 3Speak where the person does not show their face. I have made and published videos that only show the screen, but have been on a few live broadcasts here in the CTP Community, and the community has boosted my confidence to the point where I am actually working on video where it is a combination of me talking and sharing my screen. :-)

@mba2020 it's not my preference, but I definitely do it. I believe it adds to one's credibility and no better way to earn trust. Happy Cinco de Mayo.

This is my opinion...People do business with those they know like and trust. So my job as a business person, content creator, etc...Is to get people to know like and trust me. When I'm smiling on camera, that job becomes easier.

BUT....I also see the massive value in training videos, white board videos etc that I may not show my face.

The important thing ....Doing videos!

I see your point just get out there and do it, we can debate the particulars later :-)

For a very long time I was totally scared to show my face on camera. I've mainly made screenshot tutorials but never with my face. About a year ago @ph1102 motivated me to take the step and it was kind of liberating. There are so many things that I couldn't do before that now became possible. I really enjoy doing it. I had to go out of my confort zone and I got a bit better with every video that I was doing.

My favourite way to make videos is to screenshare whatever I'm talking about with an embedded webcam of me blathering away. I wonder what people have to hide when they don't show themselves on video. So, I'd encourage you to "go for it" and show yourself on your next video... :)

It is not what I want to do because I want to Brand my website.
I have a website that I do to review programs that I work with.
I do use my face sometimes.
I have wondered about the most effective way to brand my Website.
I am still learning so I don't know yet.
Great Question. You read my mind.
I am grateful and thankful for this chat

Do you newbies wonder why sometimes I throw a gif of myself sticking a sticker on my forehead?

Hnet-image.gif

I believe my first appearance on camera ever was me trying to do a fun quick video for a Lead Capture Page and @jongolson and @blainjones loved it, and @cruisin decided to turn it into a gif lolol which boosted me to do more.

Later on, I saw @ph1102 doing reports of his CTP ranks dashboard posting them here on Hive, Steem back in the day, and I wanted to do the same but I decided to make it different. I recorded my CTP Dashboard screen and my voice and talked about my ranks and what I've been doing on the CTP site.

Made another LCP with a video this time with me in it! Another boost of support and building confidence little by little.

Started a video series mixed with written posts called Momma of all Trades which shared the CTP report videos, stories as a Spa Therapist and my experiences and a Mother

Eventually started to do vlogs more consistently on-chain and joined the 2020Vision and I Am Alive challenge.

When I felt I was confident enough I moved on from these challenges and do my own things!

Not to mention making training videos inside CTP Blueprint!



The only thing separating you from doing videos is yourself!
Take that jump and never turn your back!
The rest is just practice and consistency!
You will feel like you can do anything once you get it ;)

Let's go 💪

Newer people sometimes wonder why I have gifs of myself topless but that is a story for another day.

Maybe you need a separated podcast called Woodies and Cunnies for those stories LOL

That is very possible. Take the content creation to a completely different genre.

Spreading out the tentacles to get as broad coverage as possible.

You could be onto something...that start of superbranding.

Was going to say to create a token but there's already a Hive-Engine one and a Community for that right?

This is amazing and magical I am just shocked by how quickly my engagements turned into rewards, and being recognized from others in the community is just top shelf. Literally can't wait to see what we are all doing in 2022 😀

In my opinion showing yourself on camera, weather it be in a screen cast or just talking into the camera, helps you build Know, Like and Trust. But even more important, getting on camera as just a normal person and talking about your experience is much more relatable then having a professional polished video of someone in a suit and tie. Any small mistakes or imperfections shows how anyone can jump on camera and make videos and gets you even more trusted as someone relatable versus someone you need massive training to be.

I used to hate it! I would do anything not to do it. I started out with recording videos for the Alive Challenge and got used to that. I had gone live before that in another business I was in before CTP relaunched. Now that I know I can just be casual and not have to worry about looking silly I am more relaxed. And doing the 1440 interviews helped too.

I personally do not like showing my face. I don't know if I would really want to do so and it would probably take me time before I could get use to it if I had to.

I don't like either. I don't have much self-esteem. But I give it a try and still don't like to show my face lolol
But I built confidence for it and now it's easier to express myself in video/voice than in writing
No worries, completely understandable.
You're here everyday that also matters :)

I think that is the key when taking on anything new and uncomfortable, (It will take time) 😀

I thought about this one while I was at work today: When you watch an ad on TV where does your vision go first? to people's faces. Same with your lcp videos. People look for faces. Provide yours looking friendly and helpful and your lcp will do better than the one with the fancy graphics and layout.

That is true the first thing Jon said when he saw my lcp "replace the picture with a video and it will convert better" in this area it all comes down to video. 😀

Yep. I have done well with mine, but I want to do some split testing on 2 different videos.
