I searched my vimeo page for a useful video to share on Twitter. My intention was to encourage people to drill down on the numbers for their voice over businesses. I found THE video and watched all of it.

Not because of vanity but to check for helpfulness and relevance I watched the entire video. I was talking to myself and caught me paying attention to me. The nature of the information and suggestions contained in that video? At best unsettling or for many horrific and deeply upsetting!

For an audience on social media largely consisting of "Woot go for it!" individuals, completely inappropriate!

Today, this reporter decided to unShare.

Marketing during a pandemic sounds tricky or even perilous. You could be perceived as opportunistic on one hand or pitiful and whiny on the other. Maybe we can discuss this during our “Marketing Minute” on Sunday’s vid chat.

It wasn't a video intending to market me or anyone else, far from it. The topic was "how to know where you are" or more to the point, in what shape is your business? Knowing that now, for the majority, an horrific prospect.

Did I run the number about a week ago? No. My system does that for me.

Where was I? Oh yes! About to walk Bess.

The internet is no place for the truth.

Too right!

"You're a voice over,right? I should make a demo and do that!"

"You should! Give it a try. You never know where it may take you! I reply. Always.
