For a while, I've been playing with video, and I think we finally figured out how to most effectively use this medium to help you all out.

We're going to be recording videos to answer all of your questions and to offer tips and hints for using BiggerPockets, social media, & networking, as well as other real estate related goodies.

Here's an example of our latest video:

Edward, I'm in the same boat. I just found out why it would be beneficial to be a pro on this site. I am just figuring out how to get the most out of it and I've been on here for a few weeks now.

I still don't know how the influence or awards work and why I should care about that.

Thanks Josh

Josh,

I don't know why it took me so long to find you on YouTube. I enjoyed your videos and I'm looking forward to getting some how to videos, I think that would be fantastic. Also, it would be cool to post a weekly video concentrating on a strategy, or maybe a concern within the real estate world. Do you think maybe some of the experienced investors on here would also do a guest appearance on a video or maybe a recorded call discussing their specialty and some Q&A? I know a lot of people on here are extremely busy and my not have time to allow them to partake in a strategy or Q&A session. I was thinking we could raffle off their time for charity or for bigger pockets like we did Rich's condo. You could post a week ahead of time and say " if you would like to watch or here so & so discuss their strategy and have a Q&A with them, we will need X amount for this or that charity" Do you think something like that would work? Has something like that already been discussed?

Thanks again for this fantastic site,

Alex
