My First YouTube Video (A Lesson on Starting)
ByOkay, it’s not at all perfect, but I did put up a YouTube video of me reading a story from my book, Abundant Gifts.
I told you I would enter that Simpleology “Be The Next BestSelling Author” contest, and I did. (Haven’t heard whether I won, or when I would hear. If you submitted a video, too, please comment and tell us where it is.)
The rules were pretty tight: You had to read something from a book you wrote, that is either the funniest moment of your life, or the most life-changing–all in less than 2 minutes.
Truthfully, my story isn’t about THE most life-changing moment, but it is A life-changing moment I could tell in 2 minutes.
I have two versions. You’re welcome to click on them and weigh in. Version 1 is on my Abundant Gifts blog, and Version 2 is the one I submitted (accidentally-it’s not the better one).
The lesson here: Don’t wait for perfection before you try something new!
This of course applies to many other things: starting your book, writing and posting an article to promote (or create) your book, setting up a web page. I made these words clickable because I give help on each of these, so there really is no excuse not to start!

Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so! Good post.
