Thanks to Stephanie Wonderlin at Social Slam in her 10 impressive minutes of fame where she said that YouTube video got more attention from search engines than web pages or Vimeo.
That statement caused my mind to stray to my neglected YouTube channel and what wasn’t there — enough videos to be impressive. Stephanie changed my life right then and there; I resolved to fix my sheer laziness with snippets of <2 minute snips (another Stephanie tip) then and there at Social Slam.
New on the Soulati Media YouTube channel are 9 videos posted in Knoxville live from Social Slam. Within 10 minutes, I had product, I had launch, I had video all raw and in the moment on the street. Gotta love that takeaway; may I energize you to try the same?
Guest one is Shane Rhyne, director of digital with 30-year-old Ackermann PR in Knoxville. Shane wears a hat that distinguishes him in a crowd; sheesh, the guy is 6’4″ does he need to command any more attention?
So we bantered and got down to brass tacks — PR is all about integration and Shane offers a tip for newbie PR professionals not yet engaging in social media to “just get started.” See what you think about Shane’s commanding presence on camera; I’d say he nailed it, wouldn’t you?
Shane was kind enough to switch seats with me at #soslam. I’m a fan.
Jayme love that you’re foraying into video!
@jennwhinnem It is so much fun! Watch this space; someone I know will be featured very soon!
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing Oh no. I was such a dork. Also I should have been wearing a HAT
@jennwhinnem It was my pleasure. Who am I to keep friends apart? I hope you had a great time at #soslam.
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing Thanks for the opportunity to be part of your video series. I appreciate the kind words from you.
As for the hat, I don’t remember exactly when it became a part of my local “brand”, but based on the reaction to me not wearing a hat to the pre-event party on Thursday, I realized I needed to be sure to wear one for Social Slam. I joke that if I don’t wear a hat to an event, people react as if Col. Sanders showed up wearing a brown suit. So, for Social Slam I brought two hats.
I’m glad to see how you took immediate action from your inspiration at Social Slam and jumped into something new. You’ve inspired me to make a leap as well and try some new ideas.
In the meantime, I hope to see you in Knoxville again next year, and hope to have the chance to talk with you more before then.
@shanerhyne You are such a natural (there, now I’ve said that in 3 webz), and I hope your inspiration comes with something with cameras! What great blog fodder! Thanks for playing!
