<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Save time and work smarter<\/h2><\/div>Video is getting more and more important, also for getting your own story across. Did you know that YouTube, after Google, now is the most used search engine? From May 1- 4 I organize a workshop \u2018visual storytelling\u2019<\/a> on the island of Mallorca together with Daan van Bergen of Videologic<\/a>.<\/p>\nHere are three of Daan’s practical tips:<\/p>\n
1) YouTube direct link<\/b><\/p>\n
Did you know that by simply adding a time code at the end of a YouTube link you can direct your viewers to a certain fragment of your YouTube video instantly?<\/p>\n
Here is the link to my ‘dull bookkeeper<\/a>‘ story from my \u2018Mr Wrong\u2019 book trailer (look at the special URL):<\/p>\n![\"video](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/video-fragment.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIdeal for directing your audience to a specific fragment in your video.<\/p>\n
2) Instagram video<\/b><\/p>\n
![\"insta](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/insta-90.jpg\")
Instagram<\/a>‘s photo app is renowned, but did you know there is also a video option? Very useful for adding some atmosphere to your images.<\/p>\n3) Vine<\/b><\/p>\n
![\"Vine](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Vine-90.jpg\")
<\/a>Installing Vine<\/a> on your Smartphone enables you to easily create beautiful short video impressions.<\/p>\nWhatever you do in video, take my no. 1 tip: hold your camera \/ smart phone horizontally, thus avoiding the ugly black sidebars on the left and right of the video when posted online.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>Personal news<\/h2><\/div>Mallorca turns out the be the ideal place for the recovery of the whiplash<\/a> I got in a car accident in November. When giving presentations in the Netherlands I notice that my ability to concentrate has not yet returned to the level I was used to before the accident. On the Mediterranean island of Mallorca however, living on a small farm, one with nature, without all the hustle and bustle, it slowly seems to be improving again. Patience is a virtue… I am enjoying our old farm house renovating project, now almost becoming a \u2018normal\u2019 house, our chickens en the early spring offering beautiful blossoming fruit trees.<\/p>\n![\"fotocollage\"](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/fotocollage-640-300x296.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nMy workshop<\/a> participants are equally enthusiastic about the island. In addition to writing their books or getting help in setting up their websites and personal branding, I take them to undiscovered places and delicious local restaurants.<\/p>\n![\"terras\"](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/terras-640.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nTake a break @ Mallorca?<\/b><\/p>\n
Did you know we also rent our home as a holiday home? It is the perfect place to take a break and unwind, work, or to collect fresh eggs, fruit and flowers with the kids.<\/p>\n
From June 5 \u2013 15 and during the months of July and August our little paradise is available. Check our airbnb listing<\/a> or the special (Dutch) site www.casamallorca.info<\/a> for information and, of course, pictures.<\/p>\n
