Little Details

It’s the little details that matter, which show through if you put in enough time to notice.

For example, on creating iPhone videos to market your business:

– You cannot switch from the front to the rear camera while filming with the camera. So you either have to use another app or manually flip the phone in your hand.

– You can reply with a video in Gmail by hitting the attachment icon and then the photos icon. Way more powerful than text replies.

– Sound quality is WAY more important than video quality to keep people watching your videos. If you have an iPhone and a regular Lavalier mic, you need a TRS to TRRS adaptor (2 lines to 3 lines on the plug) and a TRRS to lighting adaptor. I use the Rode Wireless Go and have to buy these two gadgets, which don’t come in the box.

– You can comment on a Facebook post with a video, but you can’t do this on LinkedIn– only a picture.

– You have 15 seconds to reply in Facebook Messenger, so learn how to keep it short– or make multiple 15-second replies.

– You can share your phone screen if you’re a presenter in a Zoom call. And everything works great (just like if you’re projecting to Apple TV), except when you’re recording video– since the two interfere with each other. So pre-record your videos (stored in your favorite app) or switch to a desktop webcam to show you using your phone.

– Google Photos app is super slow in uploading your videos from your photos library on your phone. So also pay for iCloud, Dropbox, and Amazon Photos (another $10 each per month) to have your videos automatically backed-up). You will have to keep these apps open every week to let it catch up since uploads are faster when the app is open.

– Film vertically (portrait mode) most of the time if you’re reaching mobile users, but horizontally if an interview or in a webinar app.

– Zoom records participant videos, but GoToWebinar does not. We had GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar for 10 years but switched because of this.

– Amazon Photos has the smartest facial recognition and the easiest way to share groups of pictures (instead of having to select each picture/video, by one-by-one) with your external people (like freelancers and partners).

The way to tell whether someone is an expert in something is not much they’ve spent on gear or how many years they say they’ve been doing it, but if they are deep in the nuances of their craft.

Would you agree?

Working with Dennis has been a delightful experience. After meeting him in 2015 I got to collaborate with him on countless occasions. His understanding for state-of-the-art marketing, his implementation, and his leadership put him into the top 0.01% of marketers and mentors.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dennis for my podcast in 2021 and since then we have maintained a friendship that grows with each interaction. I have seen Dennis' devotion to his friends and clients firsthand, and our conversations often result in us talking about how we can provide more value to the people around us. He is someone whom I can ask questions on a technical level, and look to on a personal level. If you have any hesitancy about hiring him, get over yourself and do it!

Geez, where do I start recommending Dennis? First, he is an absolutely brilliant marketer who understands where marketing is today and where it's going tomorrow. He also has an incredible passion for the International Worker community. The lessons he has taught me from his almost 20 years of experience hiring International Workers have been immense. Most importantly though. Dennis Yu is someone who wants the absolute best for you and is willing to tell you the truth. Dennis sat with me at a point in my business where I was floundering but did not want to admit it. He asked some very straight forward questions to get me to admit my issues, highlighted the issues, and then helped me create a roadmap to success.
