So, why don't you do what you always do and put some great content online for free?
There are 5 great reasons to do that.
1. The content is already there. Hiding it would be a waste of recording media and the effort that went into production.
2. You won't have to market it, withing minutes from posting we will see Blogging secrets of Steve Pavlina on the front page of Digg. I'm ready to bet on it.
3. You will be freed from the burden of giving this presentation ever again
4. Lots of people will find a lot of value in this video. You are one of the most successful bloggers in the world, after all.
5. You can support the noble crusade of a certain copyblogger, who claims that "Teaching Sells" and frees one from the tyranny of Google
I'm not trying to be pushy or anything, Steve, but I'd love to see the whole video one day. And not just because of the topic.
This small 5-minute clip has given a whole new dimension to your image. It is the same as hearing your voice in a podcast for the first time. In video, the text, the style, the voice and the non-verbal message come together. From now on I will be able to hallucinate you speaking the contents of each of your posts from stage.
The whole video would make my hallucinations much more accurate
Oh well, if blogging is not a good topic, why don't you record some speech on PD. It would also be great.
P.S.
Isn't it ironic that you speak both about how video is much more expressive and also less suited for internet in this very clip? Smells of IM and self-fulfilling prophecies to me.
