How to Keep Automation from Sucking the Soul Out of Your Content Marketing

Content marketing promises increased social media engagement; but for many marketers these promises fall short.  The reality is that podcasting—and especially video podcasting—can deliver real engagement when they provide authentically meaningful conversations that can then be amplified across multiple social media channels.

Why Is Your Podcast Audio Only? Upgrade to Video for Increased Engagement.

*No BS.* There's ONE thing that can make or break a podcast or video show, and I'm still learning after all these years! :-)  This episode of Video Mojo is much more than just an interview. It's practically an entire workshop. I'm "working in public" and tapping into the impressive showrunner expertise of Jay Acunzo. In this conversation, Jay not only provides immensely valuable realtime coaching regarding the essential requirement for a "pithy, powerful premise" and illuminates his "4 Challenges of the Showrunner's Circle;" but he also explains why participation is better than promotion.  We also discuss how podcasts and shows can be leveraged into short-form video content and when that's appropriate (or not), and much more. My journey toward making Video Mojo an authentically valuable offering for visionary organizations takes a profound pivot here, and I want you along for the learning. If you have a podcast or show, or if you are considering starting one, I recommend this video as essential viewing. Don't miss all the actionable insights.

How to Level Up Your Podcast (or Show) So It's Your Tribe's Favorite with Jay Acunzo

Like everything else, video production ain't what it used to be. In the age of COVID, more and more video producers and podcasters are using Zoom; but what if you want better quality that's free of Internet bandwidth issues and more control when you are editing? For example, what if you could have high-quality, locally-recorded, distinct audio and video tracks automatically uploaded from each participant's computer to a cloud dashboard? Would you like the ability to edit with creative freedom that is not limited by what is recorded by Zoom or other streaming software?  I also see the benefits of having this high-quality video source material available for the production of shorter videos for social media.  That's why I produced this video using http://riverside.fm and interviewed the Chief Marketing/Growth exec of Riverside, Abel Grünfeld about Riverside's innovative remote video production platform that locally records individual video tracks of virtual recording sessions.

My New Video Production Workflow - Local VIDEO Recording with Riverside.fm - Video Mojo 43

Looking for the biggest possible “bang” for your social media, video marketing time & money? One word: TikTok! It’s not just for kids. With the pandemic, more and more businesses are finding that—not only are adults spending time on TikTok—it has distinct advantages for business marketing. Who knew? In this special edition, “mini-webinar” episode of Video Mojo, video below, I spell out four solid reasons why TikTok is heads and shoulders above other social media marketing platforms. (And the fact that TikTok is “all video, all the time” is not even one of them.) Despite the fact that many marketers don’t take it seriously, in many ways, TikTok represents the future of social media communications and video marketing in particular. And, it’s also a strategic fact that you can gain more visibility on TikTok faster, in an organic way, than on any other social media platform. The value for your future in marketing and the visibility opportunity are just TWO of the reasons that TikTok is an important business marketing opportunity. Don’t miss this video: It might be some of the most valuable and actionable social media marketing insights that you will hear this year.

Why TikTok is an Important Marketing Opportunity

When I started my video blog, I didn't know I would be inventing a combination of live streaming event, social media video series, and podcast that I now call a WebShow™. In this special edition of Video Mojo that I call "The WebShow-WebShow," I pull back the curtain of what it takes to create what I believe is the ultimate form of content marketing, especially if you leverage the content assets that are created along the way. I detail "what is a WebShow?" and I also describe the specific software and hardware that I use to produce it. I also include a section on "Program Development" that covers the creative considerations necessary to produce a good show. I hope this is useful to you. Yes?

Video Mojo's Fresh Take: In Changing Times, Reimagine Your Work. Discover What's Possible Now.

It has been said that "what's in the way is the way." For this reason, telling your most difficult and vulnerable stories can have healing and engaging effects beyond anything you might imagine. In this episode of Video Mojo, I got to interview master coach & author, Andrea J. Lee and we had an intimate conversation about authenticity and vulnerability, including real life examples of what can happen when you tell the stories that NEED to be told. One example of this phenomenon is a 2-minute video that Andrea did for UpWorthy that got over 2 million views... without trying! If you are interested in going deeper with your storytelling in order to make a more human connection with your audiences, don't miss this! In addition this "Collaborative Conversation," every Video Mojo episode includes a quick commentary called "Tee It Up" and "Luscious Links" resource recommendations, as shown below.

How to Tell Difficult Stories that NEED to Be Told - A Fresh Take on Vulnerability, Storytelling, & Engagement

I admit it. I'm proud of the quality of content that's coming out weekly via my Video Mojo WebShow™. It's now much more than a video blog & podcast: It's a fully-produced live, weekly webcast & formatted 1/2-hour program with awesome guests. This week's episode, recorded live last Friday, powerfully illuminates why storytelling is so much more than a "buzzword du jour." If you understand the power of story, you can create a more engaging and vibrant social media and video presence. To do that, you have to go beyond storytelling as a formula. Done well, story can open doors to whole other levels of engagement. And, it can help you find your way through the "uncharted times" that we are all living through, while revealing a path to more meaningful media. If you're ready to use story as a wayfinding tool (or at least ready to discover what that means), don't miss this third "Collaborative Conversation" between myself and storytelling expert, Michael Kass. In addition this "Collaborative Conversation," every Video Mojo episode includes a quick commentary called "Tee It Up" and "Luscious Links" resource recommendations, as shown below.

Creatives, Christy Strauch Helps You Overcome Resistance & Get Your Work OUT!

There's so much more to authentic social media and video than selling and persuading. A truly meaningful presence is more about engagement and relationship building. In order to deepen that experience, we touch a shared humanity that is very personal.  As Julia McNeal illuminates in this episode of Video Mojo, that's what's required if you want to be truly authentic; and, the really GOOD NEWS is that along with this deeper level of engagement comes a recognition of a shared humanity that is a service to everyone you touch.

Strategic Thinking for Small Business Marketing with Neal "Think Like an App" Polachek

Our mission is to help you have a more engaging social media presence and a more vibrant video presence. Some call this “content marketing.” Others like to think there’s a silver bullet in “brand storytelling.” In this week’s edition of Video Mojo LIVE!, digital marketing strategist, Jon Leland of ComBridges - https://www.combridges.com - reveals this program’s new 4-part format and interviews master storytelling coach and the author of “Narrative Coaching,” Dr. David Drake and they explore how authentic storytelling is really a conversation, not a one-way communication, like most marketing. Other insights include Jon’s “Tee It Up” opening commentary on “There Is No Finish Line” and a “Luscious Links” movie review of the Netflix documentary, “The Social Dilemma.” Time markers:   * Tee It Up - 2:04   * Collaborative Conversation - 4:24   * Community Campfire - 12:49   * Luscious Links - 21:54 Here are the resource links from this episode: * Dr. David Drake: https://www.themomentinstitute.com/ * “So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love” by Cal Newport - https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/0349415862 LUSCIOUS LINKS   * The Social Dilemma (Netflix Documentary) https://www.thesocialdilemma.com/ 3 PILLARS OF A VIBRANT VIDEO PRESENCE   Pillar 1: Humanity - https://youtu.be/NGO1m_MFKB4 Pillar 2: Technology - https://youtu.be/g__BRLf0BKc Pillar 3: Story - TO COME!
