$12 Makeup: Yes, for men too! I hate makeup but you have to have it under lights our your skin looks sick. Guys, just go to ULTA or Walgreens even and tell them you need a light, liquid powder because you are going to be on camera and they will help you get the right color for your skin. It doesn't look like makeup and the lights reflect from it perfectly. Here's what I use:

Why priceless? Because 90% of language is body language so video allows us to communicate more effectively even long distance.
Social Media is SOCIAL, which is like meeting together at the local coffee shop. Video allows us to get that feeling of intimacy.
Content is KING! Always has been, always will be, which is why SEO is so important to build a lasting relationship with your tribe and Google – who owns the traffic.
In this current age, video has become equally important to build lasting relationships with your tribe and with Facebook and YouTube – who own the traffic.
If you want organic traffic, you pay for that by giving the owners of the traffic what they want – quality content that helps people, also with the video format that people love.
The search engines and social platforms make their money from ads so that eyeballs watching and consuming. You give them high, quality content that people love to consume, they'll make more money from their advertisers and therefore send you more eyeballs to consume your content.
It's a beautiful cycle, and it's all about sharing the WHY of your expertise to help people and then reaping the rewards together đŸ™‚
So, no more excuses! Go to Amazon.com right now and start your studio!
