Yesterday I spent the afternoon down in Sussex recording a new series of videos:
1) An introduction to business networking
2) Tips for those considering self employment
3) Tax tips for those who have started self employment
These were shot in a professional studio, and I’ll be uploading them in due course once the editing has been completed.
The style of video is different to my previous ones, and there are bullet points contained within the video.
I’ll also be uploading a series of factsheets to go alongside the videos, look out for these in the resources section of the website.
I blogged about how effective video can be for business back in 2009 – it remains so today, and is something you may want to investigate yourself as a way to boost your own business.

I absolutely agree James, I recently started using video and I have seen a sharp upswing in contacts from potential clients, many of which have resulted in new business already!
Like you I focus on providing helpful tips and information, this helps people get the measure of you and makes them more inclined to buy. I’ve also found that the ‘eye-contact’ that video allows has a positive impact.
Look forward to seeing your videos – I’ve subscribed to your channel so I don’t miss any!

Thanks Gemma
Yes, I’ve had new clients because of my videos. Several of them found me on YouTube.
It also results in shorter first meetings, as people already have an idea who you are and how you work.

Hi James
Certainly a great idea to have bullet points in the video so that while people are watching, they’re also get the relevant information. It definitely starts to build a relationship too if they find you online.
Must get some done for myself!
Thank you
