You don’t have to work in video production to know the value of video these days… more people are watching videos online and that means, if you’re not incorporating it into your marketing and fundraising efforts – you are missing out. Video is a powerful way to boost visits to your website, to turn prospects into customers or clients and to increase fundraising and sales results.
Be sure to join me for my upcoming presentation, The Power of Video at the Small Business Development Center in Denver. We’ll look at what makes for a compelling, memorable video and how video directly impacts Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which translates into higher Google rankings for your website.

You can sign up for my SBDC breakfast brown bag seminar – The Power of Video – on May 30th at http://www.denversbdc.org/seminars-1/breakfast-brown-bag-the-power-of-video. I hope to see you there!

Every editor has at one time or say, a hundred, had to fix a problem with the source video of a project. Whether it’s an off-color or a bad audio issue, a simple clip edit can add extra minutes – or even hours - to a project.
