Types of Explainer Videos Most Often Used by Small Businesses

Explainer videos are videos created specifically to explain ideas or topics in a simple way. The videos can be about anything but will depend on the target audience and the message the video creator wants to convey. Explainer videos are very popular because of their simplicity and interesting animation styles, most types are easy to make, require very little equipment and, for those with a fear of being on camera, don't require a live performance.

Here are 6 types of popular explainer videos most often used by small businesses...

In 2016 and beyond, search engine marketing is not complete without adding video marketing to the mix. After the popularity increase of social media, search engines are now adding another element to their SEO and ranking algorithm, which is video content. This is because, like social media in the last four or five years, video marketing has also very recently gained a tremendous increase in popularity because video content adds quality and usability to the overall user experience that search engines are demanding from content providers and those who wish to be found on their platforms.

Starting a Successful Video Gaming Channel on YouTube

Starting a Successful Video Gaming Channel on YouTube

If you search online, there are thousands of video gaming YouTube channels that publish videos about playing video games on a daily basis. Some of these “let’s play videos” receive millions of views. In turn, this enables the video creators to become wildly rich simply by doing the activity that they love the most. It’s no secret – video gaming is huge on Youtube. In fact, videos of people playing video games is so popular that the Google acquired videogame-streaming service website Twitch for one billion dollars!

But why are so many people creating this type of channel? What’s the appeal?

Well, not only is Youtube gaming a great way to engage the community, but it can also be very lucrative. Pewdiepie, Youtube’s most popular gamer and the highest earning YouTuber, reportedly makes a whopping 12 million dollars per year, just through his video gaming YouTube channel alone. And according to a recent report by the Global Games Market, worldwide revenues from Let’s Play video game videos are set to reach up to $107 billion within the next year.

If you want to make money playing video games, you can do exactly that by creating a video gaming YouTube channel. But, remember that it will take a lot of effort to make your YouTube video game channel popular. It takes dedication and hard work to make your channel popular on YouTube, thereby gaining numerous views for your videos.

How to Build YouTube Channel Subscribers

How to Build YouTube Channel Subscribers

Whenever I am talking to new and aspiring YouTubers who are in the process of creating their channels and have reached out to me for help, the question I am asked most often is, “How do I get my first 100 subscribers?” and it is not an easy question to answer briefly. The answer is a multiple part question that involves a discussion about

- consistently creating content on a regular schedule,
- optimizing the video for search engine rankings,
- marketing and self promotion, and
- connecting with the audience is some meaningful way.

Before we jump into talking about each of those four topics, I think it’s critical that we first talk about the connection between subscribers and the video content they want to watch as well as some other terrible marketing and self promotion practices...

Taking Pictures of Animals - Pet and Wildlife Photography Tips and Tricks

Do you like taking pictures of animals, your own pets or of the wildlife while you travel? Personally, I love the unpredictability that taking pictures of animals and wild creatures creates; they usually do not afford me the opportunity to manipulate or pose them in any sort of way in order to get the very best, or idealized shot possible. While everything usually goes out the window in terms of controlling your environment, lighting, angle, etc., there are still a few great tips to keep in mind before you try to get your shot.

Working Smarter, Not Harder, is the Secret to Success for Your Startup or Small Business

Working Smarter, Not Harder, is the Secret to Success for Your Startup or Small Business

We’re all familiar with the age-old phrase about “working smarter not harder” – and you know what? It is absolutely true! In any startup or small business you don’t have to be the best to succeed, but you do have to be smart!

There are over 28 million businesses in America. Therefore, the chances are good that your big idea is not completely unique. As a matter of fact, your business has probably been duplicated a number of times already. If it has not yet, then someone is on the verge of recreating it as we speak. Let’s face it, there are very, very few truly unique ideas anymore. With that said, you need to be able to differentiate yourself in a sea of similarity in order to succeed. The best way to differentiate yourself is not necessarily by being the best, but being “smart.” You only have so many hours in the day and while there is much to be said about working hard, you can only do so much.

What does it mean to “work smart?”

Here are my 3 tips to help you focus on working smarter not harder if your startup or small business is going to succeed:

Why We Hunt Invasive Lionfish

President T. Roosevelt once said “In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.”

Three signs that your small business needs help.

One of the things I’ve learned over a 20 year career of small business startups and being a serial entrepreneur is that there will be stress and times when you will feel like the captain of a ship without a rudder.

God knows that my latest startup has been a rollercoaster ride! I’ve also been fortunate to have been a mentor to many friends with small businesses and I very regularly develop professional relationships with entrepreneurs that find themselves stuck, at a plateau – or worse. What I’ve learned along the way is that there are essentially three very common problems all small business owners will face at some point but need to overcome quickly; they’re the fear of failure, uncertainty about their ideal market and beginning not to care about public perception.

I’ve built two companies on Worker’s Comp and Liability Defense Investigations; one in Lafayette, Louisiana in the mid to late 90’s (that I sold) and my thriving PI agency in Pensacola, Florida. Our best clients were not always the insurance companies themselves but the law firms that represent several insurance companies and a time and the Third Party Administrators (TPAs) that handle claims on behalf of self-insured entities like big corporations and local, county and state governments.

Lionfish Hunting in Cozumel

While invasive lionfish are a terrible problem, we are excited that the word is getting out about the massive problem lionfish are causing in the Western Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Consequently, Cozumel has largely gotten the invasion under control but the island still needs our help to hunt lionfish and keep the damage they are doing to our underwater world to a minimum.

Will you help?

While the majority of organizations realize that the secret to success is consistent teamwork, the most successful organizations actually engage in targeted team-building exercises at least once each year. One of the best team-building exercises available can be found in the popular new gaming phenomenon known as “escape room games.” Escape rooms have the unique ability to offer organizations a way to increase the performance of the individual, as well as the team as a whole.

Private Eye Opens First Escape Room Game in Cozumel, Mexico

60 minutes filled with mystery, intrigue and fun, this escape room game produced by a veteran private investigator from the United States is the perfect shore excursion for those looking for unique things to do in Cozumel, Mexico.

Highly regarded and popular U.S. private investigator, L Scott Harrell, has drawn on his decades of experience of solving puzzles, unraveling mysteries and creative problem solving to open the first “escape room game" in Cozumel, Mexico. Cozumel Detective Adventures' “Escape Room Cozumel” was recently listed in Lonely Planet's “Top Things to Do in Cozumel.” It is the first escape room game to open in the popular tourist destination of Cozumel and one of only three currently operating in Mexico.

What are escape room games? 

Escape Room Cozumel is an immersive live action adventure mystery that challenges teams of two to six “junior detectives” to solve a series of mind bending puzzles and riddles, uncover clues, unravel mysteries and complete their mission in sixty fun-filled minutes or less. Escape the room games are one of the hottest new trends in entertainment. Escape room games originated with popular computer escape games and evolved into physical experiences. They have become immensely popular in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and are now gaining ground in Latin America; escape rooms are quickly becoming sought after tourist attractions across the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRHJqlymUEE

Escape Room Cozumel incorporates a variety of elements and real-life scenarios from L. Scott Harrell's actual investigations into his games. For example, in the popular “Maddie's Missing” escape room, players are asked to help find a little girl who has gone missing. They must search her bedroom, the last place she was seen, for clues and solve the mystery of her disappearance in order to successfully “escape the room” in less than one hour. “Throughout my long career in private investigation, many people have told me that they've always wanted to become a private investigator because they thought that they had the skills and personality to succeed.” said Scott Harrell, “I've taken great care to design the scenarios and challenges in our escape rooms in a way that uniquely tests those notions and provides an entertainment experience unlike anything else cruise ship passengers and visitors on vacation will find in Cozumel.” All three Escape Room Cozumel game rooms were designed to be fun and family friendly, foregoing any horror, scary or adult themes.

A recent player, Kim Murray, had this to say on TripAdvisor, “A group of us did the Maddie's Missing escape room today and it was a total blast! We didn't complete the mission, but got really close, and had a ton of fun trying. The puzzles were challenging but solvable, and you could tell a lot of thought went into them. This was our first time playing an escape the room game but we all agreed that we can't wait to do another room, and are looking forward to playing the next room. Hopefully, this time we'll escape and be qualified detectives!”

Escape Room Cozumel is located in downtown Cozumel inside of Kelley's Sports Bar on Avenida 10, between Adolfo Rosado Salas & Calle 1 Sur, just two blocks from the waterfront.

As the Cozumel escape room’s designer, the greatest compliments I took away were: 1. they absolutely had fun, 2. they encountered original puzzles and 3. that they appreciated the humor I weaved into the story’s theme at key moments during the hour they were playing, which can get very intense!

5 Star Review for Cozumel Escape Room!

Originally shared by Escape Room Cozumel

5 Star Review for Cozumel Escape Room!

"Escape rooms are growing fast in popularity, and we like to try new ones wherever we travel. This is the first one in Cozumel, and at the time we visited, only one room had opened (Maddie's Missing). I know that Scott (the owner of both the escape rooms and the bar) was close to getting the second and third rooms up and running. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into the room, and the puzzles will definitely keep you busy. 

Scott was very welcoming and we really enjoyed talking with him before and after doing the escape room. We definitely plan to come back when we are next in Cozumel."
