I’ve been in the fitness industry over 15 years. I have seen many things come and go, but I do know one thing, the Internet is here to stay. That’s why I’m always finding ways to help promote myself online.

I have been using YouTube for the past year and half. It’s been a great way for me to connect with others around the world. I have received emails from all over the world from places like the UK, Malaysia, and Mexico.

Making videos has been a learning process. I’ll usually shoot five to ten at a time. Then I’ll Come home and edit them using Windows Movie Maker. This is a very easy and simple tool to use, if you don’t have that much experience editing videos, this is the software to use.

Shooting videos teaches how to take your time and complete the exercise without mistakes. It teaches how to be more confident when speaking. If you’re looking aloof in a video, your audience can tell and will probably let you know.

Thanks YouTube for helping our generation promote with online video. I see this as the future and look forward to more creative ways for online marketing.
