Last year, I was asked to present a short series of videos for the Brighton & Hove Business Show. The lovely guys at Echo Video Productions came to our office in Hove and filmed me offering 10 quick tips for people thinking of starting a business.
After the show, they gave me the videos on DVD which sat on my desk for ages whilst I pondered what to do with them. Although I blog (albeit intermittently!) and create podcasts of my radio show, I'd never ventured into the murky waters of videos or YouTube. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I thought.
