I couldn&#8217;t for the life of me remember how successful those campaigns were because I stopped tracking them after 12 months of testing and the last one was rolled out in early 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The video example below is for one of my geo-targeted lead generating sites I developed while living in San Antonio, Texas and the video was created by a freelancer for $5 back in 2013.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_29171\"  width=\"800\" height=\"600\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ggW0I1XufQ?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>Reviewing the video again, I can see where it benefited my lead generating efforts over the years slightly but fell short on it&#8217;s full potential. I&#8217;m sure many of you can agree that a better production with props and a theme could generate a bit more excitement in the viewer (Potential customer).<\/p>\n<p>I suppose, for $5, it was a great deal and might just go to show that you get what you pay for. I think that instead of outsourcing video intros like that in the future, I&#8217;ll invest in a better digital camera and do the intros\/commercials myself, with my wife as the (learning) videographer.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of myself behind the camera during an interview at a NamesCon event back in 2015.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_38900\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O2bVjrzz4AM?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>With some more sleep (So I don&#8217;t look so worn-out tired), better presentation, better-themed background setting, and a better camera, I think I could potentially do ok in my own video series of some kind.<\/p>\n<p>Now I have a lot more to think about. A video series&#8230; Now what on earth would such a series be about?
