Web Video for your Business: An Example
Right up front, I’ll remind you (and inform those who are casual visitors of this blog) that part of my business is production of vidcasts and web videos. I’ve talked to a number of business owners and marketing professionals who have said, “Really, I don’t know what on EARTH my business could record that would be of interest.” I always tell them that there’s *something* there, we just have to find it.
