Jocelyn and I met Amy Schmittauer in San Diego before attending Tropical Think Tank.
We were in town doing a live event right off the heels of Social Media Marketing World. We happened to end up at the Cheesecake factory eating lunch with a bunch of people and Amy was at the table.
We only got to talk for a moment. We had heard of Amy before through mutual friends and acquaintances. We knew she was an authority on video and YouTube, but were not following her brand or anything like that.
We are now!
Amy Schmittauer is awesome.
Not only is she fun and amazing to talk to, but she is brilliant…especially when it comes to growing your brand with video!
I can say with confidence that Amy Schmittauer is a 100% bonafide expert and authority on video and YouTube. If you are using video…you need to be following Amy Schmittaur at SavvySexySocial.com.
Amy totally convinced us that video MUST be a part of your brand and it is paying dividends for us big time. We have never been big on video, but you can probably see from our site and Facebook page we are using it more. Our reach on Facebook is up and we are cranking out more content than ever before.
I do not hesitate to say she was one of the top speakers at TTT15 and one of the best we have seen at any conference we have been to.
Amy is a rock star on stage. She gave real value, was entertaining, and held nothing back content-wise. If you get the chance to hear Amy speak, do it.
You won’t be disappointed.
The big takeaway…
The big thing we learned from Amy was to stop waiting for perfect conditions, equipment, and budgets to use video.
You don’t need expensive cameras, green screens, and professional lighting. All excuses we had told ourselves we needed to make video work for our brand.
We all have phones in our pockets that have world class HD video cameras on them.
There is no excuse.
And we, like a lot of you guys, have been making the excuse long enough.
We all need to be doing video, even if it’s just quick stuff on social media. We have everything we need to be doing video in our pockets.
It will make our audiences grow. It’s time to take action.
We batch content 12 weeks at a time here at Flipped Lifestyle. Our next recording sessions start in July. You can bet your bottom dollar video will be a huge part of that plan!
And when we need help or advice with our video strategy, we know exactly where to find it!

Thanks for this nudge S&J! I’ve been thinking about doing video but super nervous about it! I even bought a logitech camera, and it’s sitting on my desk with a dead-eye-lock on me every day! I’ll be checking out SavvySexySocial today!
