Let's Have A Real Chat
How do you feel about showing your face on video?
There are a lot of videos on Youtube & 3Speak where the person does not show their face. I have made and published videos that only show the screen, but have been on a few live broadcasts here in the CTP Community, and the community has boosted my confidence to the point where I am actually working on video where it is a combination of me talking and sharing my screen. :-)
In my opinion showing yourself on camera, weather it be in a screen cast or just talking into the camera, helps you build Know, Like and Trust. But even more important, getting on camera as just a normal person and talking about your experience is much more relatable then having a professional polished video of someone in a suit and tie. Any small mistakes or imperfections shows how anyone can jump on camera and make videos and gets you even more trusted as someone relatable versus someone you need massive training to be.
^^^^^
That is so true & complete it needs to be carved into stone. 👍
For a very long time I was totally scared to show my face on camera. I've mainly made screenshot tutorials but never with my face. About a year ago @ph1102 motivated me to take the step and it was kind of liberating. There are so many things that I couldn't do before that now became possible. I really enjoy doing it. I had to go out of my confort zone and I got a bit better with every video that I was doing.
Thanks for the mention and thanks for stepping out and doing that first video! We wouldn't be here if you didn't :)

When I see what we are doing now, I believe I've come a very long way lol
I am also along the very same route it is absolutely incredible what one can accomplish with support & encouragement. This community is very powerful.

@mba2020 it's not my preference, but I definitely do it. I believe it adds to one's credibility and no better way to earn trust. Happy Cinco de Mayo.
That is an excellent point
This is my opinion...People do business with those they know like and trust. So my job as a business person, content creator, etc...Is to get people to know like and trust me. When I'm smiling on camera, that job becomes easier.
BUT....I also see the massive value in training videos, white board videos etc that I may not show my face.
The important thing ....Doing videos!
I see your point just get out there and do it, we can debate the particulars later :-)
I used to hate it! I would do anything not to do it. I started out with recording videos for the Alive Challenge and got used to that. I had gone live before that in another business I was in before CTP relaunched. Now that I know I can just be casual and not have to worry about looking silly I am more relaxed. And doing the 1440 interviews helped too.
It is not what I want to do because I want to Brand my website.
I have a website that I do to review programs that I work with.
I do use my face sometimes.
I have wondered about the most effective way to brand my Website.
I am still learning so I don't know yet.
Great Question. You read my mind.
I am grateful and thankful for this chat
The more you work it the more you will recognize what direction is best for your business 😀
Thanks Chris . I am definitely exploring this
My favourite way to make videos is to screenshare whatever I'm talking about with an embedded webcam of me blathering away. I wonder what people have to hide when they don't show themselves on video. So, I'd encourage you to "go for it" and show yourself on your next video... :)
Thank you I will be going for it like a hungry wolf after a rabbit
I like making videos like this especially when I am reviewing a site
I personally do not like showing my face. I don't know if I would really want to do so and it would probably take me time before I could get use to it if I had to.
I don't like either. I don't have much self-esteem. But I give it a try and still don't like to show my face lolol
But I built confidence for it and now it's easier to express myself in video/voice than in writing
No worries, completely understandable.
You're here everyday that also matters :)
I think that is the key when taking on anything new and uncomfortable, (It will take time) 😀
I thought about this one while I was at work today: When you watch an ad on TV where does your vision go first? to people's faces. Same with your lcp videos. People look for faces. Provide yours looking friendly and helpful and your lcp will do better than the one with the fancy graphics and layout.
That is true the first thing Jon said when he saw my lcp "replace the picture with a video and it will convert better" in this area it all comes down to video. 😀
Yep. I have done well with mine, but I want to do some split testing on 2 different videos.
