I would like to offer a couple of personal views regarding your first video and surroundings.

>>Office>>
You have little or no soft furnishings; the walls are bare. This produces a sound quality with lots of echoes. I personally found the sound “harsh” to listen to. I think it should be “warm & inviting” sound wise. I would suggest you purchase some drapes,
>>Curtains>>
Screw curtain rails high on the walls and hang velour or woolly type material to absorb sound rather than to reflect it. This would improve the quality of the sound immensely. (More on curtains later).

>>Introduction of Colour>>
Videos need to be attractive. Introduce some colour. You have white walls, black settees, black tee shirts etc.

Now, don’t you think your black settee would be improved in the video with some brightly coloured scatter cushions; a cheap way to introduce some colour. Don’t overdo it perhaps primary colours like red, blue, yellow – the same colours one uses to attract the “eye” with squeeze pages, which have the same effect for the “readers”.

Thie colour scheme can be enhanced with the wall curtains, especially if the meterial compliments the primary colours of the scatter cushions.

>>Summary>>
This should improve both the sound and the picture content. Good luck with your next video. I will look out for this one!

It’s too early in the day for me to think about these things. I still have to get started! I will watch your progress though and learn from you by watching closely.

Please, John and Dave, this is in no way intended to be a critisem! I write this as positive point to improve, (My personal view only), the same video with the same content.

The womens touch and input is missing from your office. How about some fresh flowers in your next video too!

I would appreciate a response to my comment, even if it is a short personal email to me. I am most interested in what you think about the suggestions.

I do like your new premises.

Best wishes for you in your new environment. ~Allan~

Reply By John,

Thanks for your comments Allan, I think you are right about everything and we will certainly take this on board for our next video

And thank you for all the links as well.

All the best,

Excellent video! 😀 I like the rawness and the camera shake 😆

Lately I have noticed video marketing is the name of the game in promoting a launch and giving out free content information to promote buying a product.

From a newbie point of view the raw videos are much better to watch than the fancy big guru big productions. Doing what you have done gives us newbies hope that we can do this too.

Thank you giving out the free content and thank you for being awesome teachers.

Kind Regards

Jacinta

Lots of great content as usual, great authenticity to it, but as you say, we all have to start somewhere !

Keep up the great work, always look forward to the emails, videos, blog updates etc from you and looking to add as many of the tips I learn from you along the way, into my site …

Look forward to seeing more great vids from you and original content, as always.

All the best

Great first video interview. I remember your first telephone interview John, with, I think someone Chan, in the USA talking about selling eBooks on eBay and creating eBooks with PLR. I learnt so much from that, just like this first video interview.

I use twitter, not a lot, but I too love it. What I like best about it, is that you can link it to your blog and Aweber account. so that each time you make a blog post or message to your subscribers, it also gets posted as a tweet.

Keep them videos coming. I am watching.

Like Stuart just said the biggest appeal to anyones first video interview is in my opinion ,the best capture of a natural conversation which in turn conveys the point home more naturally to the reader, its makes you listen at ease!

Nice video, I am currently using Tweet Dynamite and have gone from 400 followers to 1200 followers in just 6 days, such powerful stuff!

Well done Dave for such a great product and well done John for creating this video!
Great stuff!

That’s a great video. The idea of making an informal interview makes it more interesting that just getting to a listen to one person. He explained a lot of things, too.

Twitter is such a popular network that it’s always useful to learn about this kind of stuff! You’ve got to be on Twitter!

Thanks
