The Power Of Video: Rev. Harriet Has "A Little Talk" With President Obama

So how powerful is video? Can you really start on a simple video strategy and get national attention?

Ask our client and friend, Rev. Harriet Bradley as she captivates the president and gets her face on national television for over five minutes as President Obama answers her question!

Rev. Harriet has persevered through her challenges to continue to learn and stretch herself. In the past year, she has learned more about working with her computer. She is a dear friend and one of my most eager to learn clients in my Christian Ministry Marketing consulting.

Recently, she wanted to explore video more. She did not have the money for a Flip camera as part of the simple start plan, so she decided take my advice and get a web cam for her laptop first.

From there she experimented with ToxBox, UstreamTV, The Easy Video Producer, and basic Windows Media software.

She is up and going in the direction of her passion to minister hope and healing to those who have been sexually and physically abused from their paths, helping others with her Christian Publishing Company, and starting her very own video ministry.

Well, the other day she called me and was thrilled by her latest video venture.

She told me how she heard that President Obama was going to have a live Town Hall type meeting and take questions from the audience and those who write....or video in their questions. She told me she was tired that night, but decided to get the lipstick out, fix her hair, and shoot the video question that God had laid on her heart.

She sent the link off and thought no more of it.

Then it happened. The next day as she turned on the television for the President's town hall meeting, she realized that her little act of obeying that "still small voice" was about to make a national splash:

Here's a recap from my Tuesday Video Blog:




What was amazing is her question and President Obama's answer made quite a stir with the press. Even Rush Limbaugh got into the action on his radio show mentioning often "Harriet from Georgia". I put that phrase, "Harriet from Georgia" in a Google search engine, and I found many blog posts....about Harriet!!!

You gotta love that!
