  2. W00t! Who was that addressed to? Whoever started video blogging today and saw this video must be filling a tad uncomfortable :-D

  3. Damn, you read my mind.

  4. If Prince sucks on video, why do his concerts always sell out? Is video different than live performances?

    By Todd on May 16, 2007

  5. Live is a completely different medium. It’s the energy of a live performance from someone you like doing what they are good at. Also group psychology kicks in as there is a connection that happens in the audience between them. Apples and oranges really.

  7. Loren,

    I was thinking about doing some videos, but now you’ve scared me off.;)

  8. If this changed a mind not to do it, they never should have been in the first place.

  9. Absolutely true.

  10. well
    now i need a lesson in video blogging presentation
    because i know ive got the appearance down (especially if youve got the appearance down :P)

    sidenote:
    all decent looking female bloggers should switch over to video blogging
    i would be willing to bet that at least 30% of them would triple their audience

    you know man I might not be classically handsome but I have a vibe and I know how to do this shit correctly. I’m talking more about companies. Thats why I said your brand. Make sure you marketing vlogger is as you said a hottie of some kind.

  12. i was just jesting man
    you def. have that vibe that makes you hot
    if hot would be the correct term
    im, by no means, classically handsome
    but i def. retain the same vibe that turns that into “hot”
    now i just need to figure out how to keep that vibe while doing videos
    any tips?

  13. Gotta disagree with you about Prince. He may look like a hyperactive chimpanzee but somebody, at some point, decided that what his videos needed were some gyrating half-naked women. And really, you can’t go too wrong with that.

  14. #10 is really good advice - I get it now. You got this brand established, then you go on screen and you’re not what people expected, thereby fucking up your brand. Food for thought.

  15. Plastics, Broc, Plastics.

    Unfortunately I have no advice, just be yourself. If it works it works.
