10 Skills of a Master Video Blogger

I take regular sales training, simply for the reason marketing is the compliment to great sales. I'm down at Mike Ferry's sales conference today and he covered the 20 skills of a master salesperson. Most of the skills, however, apply to much more than just simply sales. So, I took the best 10 skills and applied them to what we look for in our ideal client. Or, if you're video blogging to build your business, these are the skills you must possess (or develop) to succeed.

So what makes a master video blogger?

The definition is simple: A master video blogger has mastered all the skills required, developed the discipline, and maintains the attitude of a superstar.

In other words, you need skills, discipline, and attitude to succeed in video blogging.

Skill #1: You must manage your time and follow a consistent video publishing schedule.
Skill #2: Looking for topic ideas and remarkable content opportunities daily.
Skill #3: Making a highly energetic and to-the-point web video (2-3 minutes).
Skill #4: Making contact with people daily to promote your videos.
Skill #5: The skill of doing all of this day in and day out.
Skill #6: Delegate all the technical work so you can focus on great content.
Skill #7: Listen intently to what your audience wants to know.
Skill #8: Skill of manufacturing, at will, energy and enthusiasm when filming.
Skill #9: Making web videos that keep people coming back to your blog again and again.
Skill #10: You must be able to motivate yourself, because no one else will.

You must have faith in the content you produce, just as you have faith in any other print, radio, tv, or outdoor advertising you run. The challenge is, making web video for your blog takes work - on a much higher level than writing a check for advertising. Video will give you an asset and brand equity.

On our program, I'll coach you to be great in video and we'll provide the accountability, as we expect you to publish - at minimum - 2 educational videos on the 1st and 15th of each month for your database of contacts. So, do you agree with my top 10 skills? I'm curious to know what you think.
