I thought I post something a little different this week. In fact, today I decided to visit one of my favorite places in Western Massachusetts. The Summit House at Skinner State Park at the western end of the Holyoke Range. The view from the Summit House over the Connecticut River Valley is simply breathtaking. You can enjoy spectacular views of the New England landscape. From the farm fields to the mountains of four states, the sights are amazing for a mountain of a mere 942 feet.

Blogging is one of the most effective ways to highlight your expertise and engage customers, prospects, and peers. Additionally, it is helpful in widening your search engine footprint and online marketing efforts.

As I commented in previous posts, blogging is similar to other social media activities in regards to choosing a non-sales approach. Most people who read blogs and participate in social media activities do NOT like being sold, therefore, I would not use the blogosphere for direct sales presentations. Instead provide your readers with valuable and useful content – nothing new for the folks that have been blogging for some time.

How can video help your blog?

1. How-to videos

Some of the most watched videos are how-to videos. Tips on how to use your services and products are very helpful to customers and prospects. 30-60 second video clips of how to assemble a furniture piece or how to navigate your company website would be very useful content. In the event your customer needs to contact your support staff, a brief video which explains how to engage your company’s service department would result in a positive customer experience . If you are an IT company, you could have a technician demonstrate how to reboot computer hardware after a power failure. If you are a social media consultant then you could provide your audience with a visual tour of how to best use the privacy settings on your Facebook or LinkedIn account. Obviously, the topics are of endless variety depending on your business. Readers of your blog will become familiar with your experience and knowledge which could of course lead to business opportunities down the road.

Earlier in the year, I had posted 8 Questions You Should Ask When Selecting a Video Production Company, this is the video blog (or vblog) which accompanies the video. As a video production company, we are of course fully aware of the fact that many visitors prefer video over text based websites which why we’ve begun adding video blogs to the eTown Videos Blog website.

Below, I outline the points which I convey in the video, however, to receive the complete message please view the video blog. This is the first video blog or vblog (I’ll be using those terms interchangeably). Please visit the eTown Videos Blog for future video blogs.
