Wow - Awesome job everyone who has posted a video! Although the prize package is very tempting - not saying I will do one.

Good luck everyone - and sorry to those who will have to choose the winner!

Rebecca, that is the first piece of advice I give to anyone that asks me for help with podcasting. It really helps!

Here is my video for the elevator speech contest. It didn't turn out half as well as I had wanted, but it's at least a start. I deleted the code because the video did not transfer correctly, so I will try again later

OK, here is my submission now that the video is in the right format and I got the extra 2 seconds shaved offwhich took me a while to figure out!

Thank you Angela. It is not as perfect as I would have liked for it to be, but I am passionate about the real estate industry and being a great assistant. I hope I was able to convey that in my elevator speech.

How do you post the video?? I'm not getting the instructions. The URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkV7LTOO4p0

I'm not feeling very smart right now!

Here I go again. I think I got it to work but I surely will not win an Oscar for it! I am French so you might notice the thick accent! I really can't believe I did it, it's really awkward! But I'm still proud of myself!

Thanks so much Darlene. It took a lot of tries but it was also a good exercise to try to overcome my fear of putting my face out there! As a new VA, we have to gain self assurance to be able to gain confidence in front of our clients. Congratulations on your video as well!
