All,

 

I'm about to really start video blogging heavily and need your help.

 

Can you provide your opinion on my video intro (12 seconds)?

 

Also, if you have any tips tricks and hints please specify them in this post.

I've ordered a completed studio set and ipad teleprompter setup.. (I'm serious) Laugh

1. I like your current hip-hop intro better.   Seems more like you.  This seems a bit too generic.

 

2.  If you're getting serious, I think it's time to step up your header/logo.   Your videos are good and getting better.  Your header doesn't give you fair representation, IMHO.

 

3.  Once you get a new logo, don't use the rectangle with a black background.  Look at some of Pat Flynn's new intros.   Amazing.   I know he probably paid a pretty penny for them, but you can find them cheaper on Fiverr.  Not nearly as good, but it's a start.  I get so many compliments on my intro and it cost me a whopping $5.  See here.  A lot of these Fiverr people will do a custom job for $40-$50.  Something I plan on doing soon.

 

FYI, I paid $500 for a studio set and I've used it a whopping 3 times (I think).   With good natural lighting (which your videos have) the studio set becomes an after thought.  Hopefully, when it's start getting darker sooner, I'll get more use out of them.

Jeff,

 

Thank you very much for your input.

 

1.  Are you referring to just the music being to generic or the entire video intro? Would it seems better if kept the video intro, but switched the music back?

 

2. I will look into

 

3. Whoa.. 5 bucks for your video intro?  That's nice

 

Ouch.. only 5 uses out of the studio :/ I'm trying to avoid that..
