I had a great time at WordCamp Birmingham 2014 on Saturday. My talk focused on the Super Easy Guide to Video for Content Marketing.

Thank you to the organizers and volunteers for a terrific event. And thanks to everyone who came to my seminar.

If you missed it, let me share some insightful tweets from the audience.

It’s no good if we sit on content. It’s only valuable if we share it. – @wadeontweets #wpyall

Don't just limit your videos to Instagram, YouTube & a blog. Find other ways to get them out there. –@WadeOnTweets #wpyall

You don't have to use all #socialmedia channels to push your blog videos. Use what connects to your audience. #wpyall
