If a picture is worth 1,000 words, what is the value of a video? Vlogging first became popularin 2005, when individuals started video logging anything from baking and make up tutorials to
summer road trips. It has become a useful and effective tool for small business owners. Now,
instead of telling your customers why what you do matters and attaching a couple of pictures,
you can SHOW them. During this seminar, you will learn the history of vlogging and its
importance today, guidelines for creating video logs, and the basics on how to vlog with useful
tools that anyone can use.
