So it makes perfect sense as an Online Beauty Boss to get yourself on YouTube if you want to continue growing your Avon Business online.
When you create videos and upload them to YouTube not only will you develop a stronger connection with your customers & team but you’ll also have more opportunities to share your content onto other social media channels including your Avon Online Store.
And that’s the whole idea when it comes to growing your online presence, you want to be EVERYWHERE for more exposure!
When I first started doing video back in 2010 I was only focusing on sales so I used video to communicate with my customers and to also grow my customer base. At first I was using other websites to post my videos because I didn’t know how to use YouTube and I wish a guide like this would have been available. But then later little by little, I figured it out and made the transition to YouTube in 2011.
So to promote my Avon business and get more exposure, every two weeks inline with each new campaign I would create a video featuring the current brochure. I did this for 3 years straight every other week and this really helped grow my online business!
But even though I created a whole bunch of videos, at the same time I was completely terrified of getting in front of the camera so instead, I created slide shows with narration. This helped me to get more comfortable hearing my voice then later I slowly began to get in front of the camera.
These days I’m not doing as many customer videos as before as I’m focusing on other areas of my business but video still plays a big part as I still use it for training and advancing in Avon Leadership. I’m much more comfortable being in front of the camera but I have to tell you it was a real journey! So I hear you and understand when other reps share they’re scared to make the leap into video. But remember:
Just like anything, the more you do, the more comfortable you’ll be and the better you’ll get at it.
So with that said the easiest and less scary way to get started is to first set up your YouTube account. You won’t have to worry about getting in front of the camera just yet and it’s a good first step so you won’t have to do this when you’re ready to upload and share your video. Everything will already be set up and ready to go.
