Direct Message Tweet “Video Response” Thank You Followers

September 25, 2012 by Doug Lehman Leave a Comment

In Lehman’s Terms I love to position and leverage video as tool for social engagement. I made a series of videos to update some of my twitter followers on the power of 140 text characters, simple update on my end and attempt to open further dialogue. My method was a direct message tweet that was customized to each follower using simple text and video. My goal was to create a visual and engaging message to connect instantly and thank them for being a follower.

I am not a big fan of automatic direct messages on Twitter after we just connected especially if the message is impersonal. In some cases this technique can be viewed as spam. Get to know me first and build the relationship. Make an effort to do the research and look over my profile first etc.

I do feel it is important to acknowledge new followers and connections on Twitter, LinkedIn etc and a simple value-centric response is warranted at certain times.

Thank You Twitter Followers Doug 2 Fresh Version.

Thank You Twitter Followers 1 Man Hype Machine Version

Thank You Twitter Followers Your Rock Version

Reconnecting my 1st Level LinkedIn Connections Video

March 20, 2012 by Doug Lehman Leave a Comment

First of all, I want to THANK all my first level connections on LinkedIn for connecting. I started using LinkedIn back in March of 2007. If you are open networker with thousands of connections or you have a smaller more intimate network, LinkedIn is a powerful collaboration tool.

Last week, I started to evaluate my social media networks on the basis on connections and contact engagement. Why are we connected? What is our network relationship? In some cases we engage frequently other cases we are a simple contact name on a growing list.

The purpose of this Video Blog Post is to put a name with face using Video to simply reconnect again on LinkedIn. I would love to hear more about you and your business. Please feel free to reach out and contact me if you need any assistance with my network or want to engage in more dialogue. Let’s take full advantage of our connection on linkedIn and collaborate.

Now to put it in Lehman’s Terms

1) Thank You for Connecting

2) Let’s Engage, Reconnect and Collaborate

3) I value our LinkedIn Connection on all levels of engagement

Sagie “The Dog” is not a LinkedIn Connection but a loyal contact. How are we connected?

Worth It “The Power of Video Group Testimonials”

November 15, 2011 by Doug Lehman Leave a Comment

The Power of Video Group Testimonials

Earlier this month, I attended a special conference that was organized by Andrea Amir of Smart Money Chicks. The Confernece was called Worth It! The Money Conference for Women .The goal of the conference is to provide reliable Money Management, Investing, Career, Entrepreneur, Savings, Credit and Retirement Planning Strategies for women of all ages, economic backgrounds, and levels of financial knowledge. The Conference was designed to address the unique challenges women face in a safe and fun environment.

My task was to film the keynote speaker Karen Lee, Author of “It’s Just Money, So Why Does It Cause So Many Problems?” Karen’s presentation was excellent, engaging and informative.

After filming Karen, I decided to capture some testimonial videos . The conference was a huge success so I thought I would share the group testimonial video. Video testimonials are a great way to showcase your business or events.

To Put it in Lehman’s Terms “Testimonial Group Videos are a great visual tool to promote your events work. Worth It! The Money Conference for Women was a hit. It was worth attending.

Green Screen Production “Fall Season Kickball Recap”

November 2, 2011 by Doug Lehman Leave a Comment

As many of you know, I am very passionate about video engagement and sports. I am an avid sports fan and play kickball on the weekends in Atlanta. With a simple flip camera, I took footage of my kickball squad and produced a webisode for Social Selling TV.

Using my green screen, I made an attempt to film our GREEN Shirts on the green screen. The final result was my shirt turned blue. The simple rule is not to wear any clothes with the color you wish to hide. For example, if you have a green screen background, do not wear green duh! I was fortunate that my shirt wasn’t partially erased, invisable or distorted.. I actually like the blue color shirt..

Video Spotlight Social Media ROI Qualman Animation

July 28, 2011 by Doug Lehman Leave a Comment

Today I want to Spotlight Erik Qualman again. The following video talks about Social Media
ROI. What I like about this video is the creative use of Xtranormal Software to tell the story in animation form. If you are camera shy or simply don’t have a camera, software like Xtranormal could be a great option for telling your business story video.

As many of you know, I am a big fan of Erik’s Book Socialnomics and his website. I did a video book review earlier in the spring. I am big fan of engaging video content. This video is entertaining, informative and compelling, a nice clever storyline on Social Media ROI with very real but comedic viewpoint.

To put it in Lehman’s Terms there are several ways to show and visualize a story, using animation and a special script is another way to engage and educate your audience. Another example software that I like to use is Go! Animate. I will be showcasing other videos and animation software products in a blog post series soon.
