Why Video? What’s So Great About It?
One of the best ways to engage with your audience is through social media, and it’s not that difficult. People from all around the world share simple things such as their interests, hobbies, and experiences online. The ability to grow audiences on social media channels is not to be underestimated. Social media can elevate your brand and guarantee that you can reach the audiences you want to reach.
Video Is PopularYou can probably guess that video is one of the most consumed forms of content. Because videos are one of the most simple ways to attract attention; they are instantly playable, easy to consume, and it is a straightforward wa y to create emotion. Between Tiktok, Instagram reels, and YouTube shorts becoming staples of social media platforms, we understand that video is not going away anytime soon. These platforms know that video is the best way to capture a viewer’s attention, so why not try it out? Check out this post for more specific tips.
Easy to MakeVideo content creation can be intimidating, but there are lots of ways you can create content easily. The goal is to keep it simple and short to capture your viewers attention. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Share a quick writing tip – You already have a ton of know-how. A great way to engage your audience is to share what you have learned throughout your writing journey.
Share about yourself – People want to feel connected online, so share a story about your life. Let your audience know a little more about you!
Give a preview of your book – There’s nothing more enticing than an early sneak peek into something new! Connect with your audience by offering them a little look at what you’re creating.
Repost content from your other social channels – The beauty of video is that it can be easily adapted between platforms. Share what you’ve already done to reach a wider audience.
Check out our Youtube channel to see how we use podcasts and shorts to create engaging content.
Simple ConnectionEveryone watches videos, but not everyone participates or knows how to utilize video to their advantage. Remember, video is all about making quick connections with your audience. The illusion of being face-to-face gives credibility and authority by establishing an emotional connection. Make sure your video is in line with your overall branding. You want your audience to be able to recognize you when you pop up on their social media feeds. Be consistent, simple, and open and you’ll start to grow an audience.

Learning the World of Crypto Currency with Jeff Sekinger
Jenn Foster and Melanie Johnson co-owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Jeff Sekinger about how the world around us is going to evolve to accommodate crypto currencies.

About Jeff Sekinger:
“The thing you need to separate is, we’re no longer investing into companies, we’re investing into protocols and that’s really a piece of code and a lot of ’em can replace, you know, agencies, and companies. We’re starting to see things being used as as an actual currency.” (8:40)
“I think smart contracts will be important for the author to have ownership over what they are writing and publishing. And we see this with music as well, when artists release their albums, they can really own a larger piece of their albums.” (17:08)
“So I think if banks are not, coming around to it and accepting crypto, regardless of regulation, regardless of the current infrastructure that’s in place, they have to adopt it because if they don’t they’ll die. I really think that the best technology is always gonna prevail.” (22:22)
Jeff Sekinger was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but was raised in Columbus, Ohio after his family relocated when he was five years old. From a young age, he always had a knack for the business and finance world as he grew up with entrepreneurs for parents. When they divorced, he noticed the financial toll his family’s finances took. He developed his drive for financial success after seeing both sides of what money can do.
While working at J.P. Morgan, he started writing business plans for startups as a side hustle. He noticed startups also needed capital to start and operate their ventures and quickly jumped into the credit niche. Simultaneously, Jeff began building his personal brand on Instagram, teaching the exact strategies he was using in the business and on himself to break out of the financial hole he dug himself into. After declaring the outside business activity, the bank denied his side hustle and social media presence. Jeff took this as a sign to pursue his passion and left the company in late 2018.

Click here for access to all of Elite Expert Insider podcasts.
About Kristin Abello:
“Anybody in a traumatic experience or any cancer can tell you the recovery doesn’t end there. It’s honestly a lifelong thing but, I’d say it was probably that first nine months to a year where I found my main healing points during therapy.” (6:33)
“Originally I wanted a movie, but quickly I was told by my mentor in New York, you’ve gotta write a book first. So that’s when I got pen to paper and started the writing process.” (9:58)
“The book is doing what I wanted it to do, helping strangers, and giving them hope. Because that’s what helps when you have a positive attitude and faith. If you have both of those, you’re good to go.” (12:32)
Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend. These are the words best used to describe the force that is Kristin Abello. She and her husband Raul Abello are the parents of two wonderful boys, Jacob (21) and Colin (17) and they currently reside in the city of Houston with their Golden Retrievers Max and Lucy.
Since thriving through her TBI experience, Kristin has made it her life’s mission to share her story with the world. She is passionate about changing the narrative of the TBI community from a somber song to more of an upbeat melody. She wants survivors, family and/or friends who have lived through a TBI experience to know that a positive perspective can change even the bleakest of experiences.
