Hello Video Cognoscenti:
Just a note to highlight Kevin Riley's thorough report on the state of video as an online engagement tool.
If you need the stats & fats on why we should stay on top of the video rodeo you'll get religion in Kevin's report.
And he is just about to release his new Video Mastery Course. I am not sure if this course is right for you or me either as I believe this course is going to empower you to earn a fine income by making videos for small businesses.
My hurdle is my baby babble Japanese plus my round eyes. Sometimes makes it hard for my to connect with the locals but I've already got a couple of gigs lined up with the gaijin (foreigners).
Kevin Riley is the real deal. He's genuine and experienced.
Full disclosure:

I like him so much I will be promoting his courses and for the record this means there would be some gohan in it for me if you decide, after your own independent evaluation! that you would like to own his report.
