When is a can of paint more than just a can of paint? Debi Beard of Debi's Design Diary started her YouYube channel to promote and demonstrate her own line of artisan paint. Not only has the channel grown, but so has an army of hundreds of individual retailers and online influencers who use and sell Debi’s paint line to their own audiences.
But the paint itself is only part of the equation – Debi is building an international community of creatives through human connection and online content powered by storytelling. We dig into her content creation strategies, including an incredibly powerful format for using storytelling in tutorial and demonstration videos. Get ready to take notes on how you can put Debi’s ideas to use for yourself.
