Yeay!!!

Day one of Vlomo (International Video Blogging Month) and AudioMo (same thing but for audio.) It feels like it’s going to be doable, and very enjoyable, so I’m looking forward to it!

So how does one go about recording a video and a piece of audio and publish it for 30 days?

I think for some that are a little unsure about working with media (video and audio) publishing every day for thirty days might seem totally un-doable.

I mean, how hard is it to get a YouTube video out? or record some sort of audio as your opt-it bonus?

I get you, especially if you’re only used to working with text, and you see video and audio as tools for marketing your business.

Let go of any expectations and limitations

Audio and video for me are play time.

Yes, they can be strategically used. Yes, they are POWERFUL mediums to reach out to your audience, establish your brand and even expand your reach drastically. I know because I do guide people into doing just that more efficiently and effectively!

But,

if you don’t mess around and play, that other stuff is just going to feel like you are putting on some clothes that don’t quite fit you ;)

Simple. Snippets. Perfect in their imperfection.

I’ll share with you the video and audio snippets that I published today for #vlomo12 and #audiomo.

I recorded my audio piece while walking to meet my girls after my brief stint at the office, and I recorded and fully edited the video while I was playing with my girls at the Toy Lending Library.

It was all done on the go, with my iPhone and a few apps (Vimeo, BossJock, Soundcloud)

I’m still getting my workflow down. I’ll share more about that in a future post, but essentially all of it can be done in less than 10 minutes. What takes the longest is uploading and publishing the video.

They are simple moments, not particularly life changing.

They are moments in the flow of the day.

The recording of them helps to enhance them, and in doing so they become more than they are. We all have simple moments in our day. You wouldn’t believe how extraordinary they become when you highlight them :)

The magic of the simple is that as it’s seen by others, it becomes magical. Those watching and listening reflect back to you the amazingness that is your life, so you grow and appreciate plus it inspires them to see it in their life as well. 

Capturing humanity is pretty breathtaking.

Let me know what you think!

What do you think of the simple snippets? 

You know, you should do a bit of playing yourself...
