I love the part about full of comic error! But this is so true: "The three dimensional aspect does not have to be perfect for people to feel the connection. " In fact, to create rapport it's probably better if it's *not* perfect, because we see you're human, someone just like me. Thanks for offer of encouragement and help. May just take you up on it :-) Joanna Karen, you are so lovely. I love the part about full of comic error!

In fact, to create rapport it’s probably better if it’s *not* perfect, because we see you’re human, someone just like me.

Thanks for offer of encouragement and help. May just take you up on it :-)

I had to borrow a camera, learn how to use it, figure out what to wear and tape myself. It was filled with comic error and I hated the final product but many clients have chosen me because of that video effort. The three dimensional aspect does not have to be perfect for people to feel the connection. I plan to soon get a flip video and mix in vblogging with writing. I will hold your hand if you jump first. ;-) Joanna, I was asked by Elance to do a business promotion video when they first launched video for providers.

It was great meeting you last week, and I enjoyed both your video and the wicked dance presentation. Like I said, despite (or because of) the lack of slides, it's the one that's stuck with me the most. Joanna Jen, glad you figured out the links and found yourself here!

You are too SWEET! I just figured out how to use this "wordpress link back" thing and I came here! Your blog is beautiful and so are YOU! Joanna! You are too SWEET!

I know what you mean about the videos, I found some of them a bit rah, rah, rah, but I do think it's a skill we at least need to learn and then decide how to use. I ordered the webcam to try out video conferencing, but who knows, I might make a video one day, of something or other! Hope you're okay Joanna Karen, I’m impressed you took part at all – I just gave up.

I am on the fence about video - part of it parallels " in your face " like a commercial-ism, yet so many of the mini clips i see from utube touch me - I don't know. The commercial I made - I actually made part of it by hand, took a more organic route.I chose that because it's more me but like you I didn't have the vehicle to do video - it was more how can I participate and solve that challenge you were taken by jen’s message too, eh?

The whole competition gave me a lot of ideas for how (and how not) to do this kind of thing. Debbie, you're right - I've already enjoyed seeing some of yours.

I think people like seeing video. It somehow makes them feel closer to the person on the other end. This is certainly something to think about. I think people like seeing video.
