Myth #1: I don’t like my voice

• It’s not about YOU, it’s about your audience.• If some people do not like your voice – that is on their shoulders. Don’t use this as a crutch.• Kick excuses to the curb & serve the people who need your help.

Myth #2: I don’t look good on camera.

You probably don’t like having your photo taken either, but you’re not here to win a beauty contest.

You can create a screen cast video that doesn’t require you to sit in front of the camera.

Myth #3: I cannot afford to buy equipment.

Use your cell phone or iPad. These devices do just fine for creating a short 2-minute video.

Don’t own either device, download a copy of Open Office, which offers presentation software similar to Microsoft PowerPoint.

Myth #4: I don’t have enough time.

Waking up 30 minutes earlier to record a video is doable; you will not miss that extra ½ hour of sleep!

Myth #5: I am not brave enough.

Be afraid and do it anyway. Your fears will subside as

time goes by. Think back to days when you

dreaded doing other ventures for the first time; repetition cures all doubts.

Myth #6: I don’t have anything valuable to share.

If this were true, you would not be a blogger sharing information in written form.

Video is just another format to deliver the same information.

Myth #7: I am not popular enough.

Video marketing is not a popularity contest.

Your reputation will grow as you continue to share relevant information for your viewers to enjoy.
