Who are you?
While this is how I start one of my success articles, in this case I mean, you as a blogger. I can not see you. I can read your words, I can guess your particular inflections. Perhaps I even guess what you look like, and what you sound like.
This is what your readers do.
Video blogging can help you get more traffic by giving readers a more natural representation of you. Reading your words viewers may get a different feel of who you are than when they see you and hear you. With video blogging they can hear your passion, they can know what excites you and they get to know you better.
Your picture tells them one part of a story. They see you. They see your single expression. Look at my image above. When you see a picture you read the facial expression, the eyes, the smile, and maybe some body language.
A thousand words times thousand
With the video blog the readers see all of the above and hear your voice, your inflection, they see your body language and your nature. They hear where you get impassioned and where you think the emphasis is. You nor them may be able to tell anyone why, but we are trained from birth to read the subtle signs of body language and these are seen in video blogging.
You can see a video below. Please tell me what you think.
Hope you enjoy!
