GoHuman Blog

A Video is Worth a Thousand Pictures. Did you know you could embed a Video Intro of yourself right on your GoHuman postings? It’s easy!

After logging in to your account tab, click on “My Video Intro – link to yours now” and paste in the embed code from YouTube, Vimeo, or any video site that supports this simple feature. Once you’ve pasted your code, click the “Embed My Video Intro” button and you’re done!

Your video will automatically appear on each of your postings under the “Video Intro” button, and it’s a great way for customers to “meet” you, which makes them more likely to hire you!

The most rewarding part of building GoHuman.com is meeting people who share our vision for economic sustainability and cultural expression. Being Latino, led by Lance Rios, is just such a group. We’ve met engaging people beyond those who shared videos and look forward to working with them in the future.

We had the pleasure of sponsoring a contest with Being Latino that asked their members to submit videos telling the world why they love Being Latino. The responses were inspiring and you can view the video that won a GoHuman Flip cam below, submitted by Ramon Ramirez.

WIN your own Flip HD camera by sharing a local service you provide or need!

The videos are in and you can view them all on the Being Latino blog. We’re really inspired by the results and the wonderful things everyone had to say about their heritage. Videos were submitted from Alaska to Costa Rica!

The video with the most views by 5PM EST on Friday, December 18, wins a GoHuman Flip Mino HD video camera!

We’re thrilled to team up with Being Latino to offer one of our GoHuman Flip cams to the winner of their video contest. Just watch the video below for all the info you need to enter. Good luck!

Check out Shift Happens: Education 3.0, for an interesting barrage of stats demonstrating just how quickly the world is moving in education and business. One of the reasons we started GoHuman.com is to help independent businesses keep up with all the changes that otherwise might leave them behind. Individuals are being rewarded for their ability to work independently and fluidly now more than ever. GoHuman.com helps those people find good customers locally for all their various talents.

Two weeks down, two HD cameras given away to productive GoHuman.com members! Congrats to Vallea Woodbury in Chicago, our 2nd winner. Hire Vallea to plan your next event.

Vallea believes in the vision of GoHuman.com, and had this to say:

“Gohuman.com is a spectacular resource. Instead of an anonymous yellow pages, it gives local merchants like me a place to advertise in a more personal way that shows potential clients a bit about who I am and gives them an opportunity to see feedback about the way I work. It’s especially an asset for those of us who can’t compete with the marketing campaign budgets of larger businesses.

“On the flip side, I also get to support the people offering services in my area when I need something. It’s a way of building a network of local, quality, business people. In today’s economic environment, this kind of opportunity is extremely important. I can’t wait to see GoHuman.com reach its potential.”

Thanks Vallea! We can’t wait either, and it’s support from people like you that will get us there.

You, too, can Flip for Your Community and win a camera by joining GoHuman.com and posting before Halloween.

Right in time for our Million Dollar Video Contest, YouTube has added a feature that allows any popular video to become monetized with the creator’s permission. The ad revenues are shared between the video creator and YouTube, which is a great idea. GoHuman.com offers generous referral bonuses for those who help build our community.
