How to Brand Yourself with a Personal Video Pitch

Marketers know that video is an important strategy to get their message across to their audience. As someone trying to build, maintain, or share their personal brand, you’re a marketer, too…of yourself.

YouTube alone has more than 2 billion views every single day, with the average person spending about 15 minutes each day on the site. Simply put, you can’t really ignore video any longer.

What should you include in your personal video pitch?

  • Who are you?
  • What do you do?
  • What are your passions?
  • What’s your educational background?
  • What experience and skills do you have?
  • What makes you different from everyone else?
  • Why should someone want to hire you, use your services, etc.?
