Here’s how to create a Video About Me

Step 1 – Create My “Script” Start by looking at (or creating if you don’t have one) your 30 second elevator speech Does it tell your story? Does it allow people to know you personally and professionally? Look at your current about me section on your website and social profiles Does it tell your story? Does it allow people to know you personally and professionally?

The easy button – Simply record yourself reading your about me section or delivering your 30 second elevator speech Or create a new script You can use a combination of parts from your social media profiles, current about section and 30 second elevator speech

My 30 second elevator speech – I’m Paul Baxter, I help guide and take away the nervousness for people who want to get a new home. I still remember how confusing it was trying to figure out what was going on when I bought my first home. The Loan Officer never called me and was down right difficult to get on the phone. My realtor didn’t have any better luck figuring out what was happening than I did. It left such an impression, that today, I am known for being really good a communicating with both the buyers and the realtors. Needless to say, neither the Loan Officer nor the Realtor got a referral. I don’t ever let that happen to my realtor partners.
