Last night, I started using Twitter's new video reply feature. That platform is playing a lot more with video. When I first started putting out content in 2006, it was video because that felt most natural to me. The best way I could communicate. But it was hard for me to execute on it. In 2007 and 2009, I would carry a Flip Cam around with me and use that as my main medium. The fact that I can now do that straight through the Twitter app is awesome.
So video does seem most natural to me. But I don't over think my content. Way too many people over think the stuff they are putting out there. We're living in a culture where kids are growing up scrutinizing every selfie they take. It takes them forty-seven minutes to post because they have to make sure the lighting is right. Then when it doesn't get enough likes in the first four minutes, they pull it down. I have the reverse of that rigor. I would take the most unflattering selfies, not caring about the lighting (this is actually the first year I've started to understand lighting...).
Bottom line: I really don't care about the angles. The look. The feel. I care about the substance.
P.S. Twitter Video is available now for verified users, so if you're verified, check it out. ๐

Gary, you mentioned in another video how the world reacts to women differently. Do you think women are more likely to worry about video/content aesthetics than their male counterparts? And if so, do you think that's a culture thing? Whether or not it's "right or wrong." I see a lot of guys testing your strategies and getting great results, but haven't seen women do something similar/be really successful with social without a bunch of makeup, lighting and set-up stuff or at least being naturally pretty.
I rank them Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.. Twitter gets too overwhelming since I want to read and reply to all the tweets in my stream
Snapchat (love the vibe of it, unfortunately I either suck at it, or it's just not taking off in Europe) – Instagram (hot in Europe) – LinkedIn (better articles than Fb, it just doesn't seem to only regurgitate what I already liked) – Facebook (one endless commercial these days) – Twitter (probably better in the US)
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat
QOTD Answer – fb- insta- twitter – snap
1. Facebook 2. Instagram 3. Snapchat 4. Twitter
