How-to Make a How-to Video
My first suggestion for 2012 is to make a "how-to" video and post it on your blog or website. This would be especially important if you have a service business such as landscaping, home repair, decor and design, etc. The number one reason for doing this is that adding video to your website is always a good thing.

During my days as an Event and Promotions director for a large company, I learned many lessons. I likened those days to working in a circus, because of the many varied types of performers and stage set-ups we had to contend with.

A few years back, the only people who thought about personal branding were rock stars, politicians and Oprah. They all understood that creating an identifiable brand would shave years off their success curve. The need for a brand has moved from celebrities to CEO’s like Jack Welsh and Lee Iacocca, and now it has moved to small business owners, salespeople, realtors and public speakers.
