The Free iPhone Giveaway Results Episode

So, I wanted to raise the bar on giveaway videos a bit and take advantage of the eyes that are watching these kind of videos. For those that have always been interested in making these kind of videos for their own kind of blogs, I just want to point out some key things that you should keep in mind when making your video:

  • Remember your Brand – I used my Banner Image along with reminding people they’re on MrGaryLee.com
  • Take Advantage of the time leading up to the Desired Message/Announcement – I used the time prior to the announcement to help Prija promote BloggingTheMovie.com and also my new site – CreativeTrafficBuilders.com.
  • Don’t Over Edit your video – We were lucky enough to finish this video in 2 takes. In the world of video blogging, it’s best to present as genuine a broadcast as possible and that’s best shown with unedited video such as this.

So, I know it’s been a long time since the contest actually started and I realize the contest should have been over a little bit earlier than this, but a lot has been going like switching jobs, moving to a new part of town and coming up with the idea for this video, so I hope all of you can be understanding of this. In any case, the important thing is that the contest is now officially over and we have picked a winner – (watch the video for the winner) – a really great blog that talks blogging and other techy stuff. Feel free to visit her blog and congratulate her!

I wanted to give a special shout out to people who have helped with this contest, the video and promotions:
