you'd think that one dinner with a guy
who thinks he knows everything about
everything wouldn't be so bad and it
wasn't but it didn't stop with one
dinner no mr. Collins has been coming
around every day this week I thought it
was supposed to be packing up his
mother's house not hanging around ours
and when he's here all he wants to do is
mention his venture capitalists or talk
about web video a subject I'm not sure
he actually knows anything about oh but
he has learned at least one thing since
VidCon my name is Lizzie Bennet guess
who discovered my videos so I'm not
worried at all about people discovering
my videos Caroline's got my back with
Bing and as for Ricky huh he's Ricky
which is to say he's a complete and
total is he what you told me to be
candid
but he's watching you can't say what
you're about to say it's not like he's
watching every video I'm not having this
discussion on camera like I said it's
not like he's watching every video
you're willing to risk that he's never
going to see this the Internet is
forever and you just called him an idiot
on it I did not call him an idiot I said
he didn't know anything about web video
big difference it's not like that's a
secret I've tried to tell them that to
his face but as you may have noticed he
doesn't really listen when other people
talk still you don't have to antagonize
him why not he antagonizes me am i
interrupting
yes no come on in have a seat miss Lou a
pleasure as always
miss Bennett I've been meaning kidding
about you call me Lizzie but that would
be unmannerly no it's okay that's my
name and we've known each other since we
were 7 it'll be fun
well I see that you're filming again oh
that is exceedingly savvy of you my VC
partner Catherine de Bourg always says
the key to success is content content
and content much like the real estate
mantra of location location
location in a way it's really about
repetition repetition I think we get the
point well content is crucial in a
successful video blog almost a
prerequisite yeah I know that's why we I
don't know if you know this but the
accepted term is now log much in the
same way that web blog was contracted to
form blog video blog or I suppose video
weblog has been contracted to form vlog
you don't say I believe that you could
be doing so much more Lizzie as I was
saying at VidCon the Internet is a rich
market largely untapped the young
viewers are leaving traditional media
much in the same way that their parents
fled from broadcast to cable before them
we are you are you quoting something
myself only as a technological
evangelist I often spend my leisure time
role-playing scenarios in which I have
the opportunity to pitch to content
creators and thus I hone the message to
suit the circumstance you do what now
it's a habit that I've adopted at the
suggestion of my venture capitalist
partner
she believes that visualization
preparation and execution are the three
fundamental steps in the pyramid of
success oh she's a pyramid does she also
have a scheme no it's more of a plan a
plan that I hope includes you Lizzie
Bennet as I was saying the web video
market remains largely untapped I
believe you've placed yourself in a
strong position with your deep emotional
connection to your audience which would
be incredibly valuable you want to
connect to my audience
actually it would excite me greatly if I
could see your analytics just a peek
may what he means your audience
statistics oh um that's private uh mr.
Collins why don't we get some tea
downstairs and I'll tell you about them
well I'd greatly liked it no no tea time
good good good tea go go now
Wow
that guy is a handful and I know he just
said like a thousand words but I'm still
not sure that he actually said anything
he's either really smart or thinks he's
really smart one thing's for sure he
doesn't understand the concept if not
barging into someone else's bedroom
excuse me miss Lizzie but I felt
compelled to bring you a cup of tea i
brewed it myself
seems like you're compelled to do a lot
of things yes as I'm also compelled to
tell you that you are far too talented
to confine your professional endeavors
to a confessional style vlog centered
largely around your sisters love life
well I'm sure this is what my viewers
are crying out for now on the other hand
corporate instructional videos for
internal use only Ricky mr. Collins I
need to finish this video you you have
to leave now
well I'll wait downstairs uh about how
long hours ah quiet sweet sounds of
Solitude how I have missed you
[Music]
you
