On the Small Business Big Network podcast this week I'm talking to Cintia Arnhoffer.

Cintia is the Co-owner and General Manager of a Dubai real estate company. Originally from Hungary, she moved to Denmark at the age of 21, where she spent 13 years building her career in an international environment. In 2021, she relocated to Dubai on her own, without contacts or an existing network, to build a new life and business from scratch.

Today, she helps international clients invest in Dubai real estate, establish businesses in the UAE, obtain residency visas, and create tax-efficient business structures. Her mission is to make investing and doing business in Dubai simple, transparent, and accessible for clients around the world.

She says that if you are planning to network in another country make sure you research local culture as things may be done very differently to what you're used to!

Having lived on both sides of the Atlantic I know that there are a number of words that are pronounced differently in the US, and the UK - and sometimes I have trouble remembering which is which...

Fortunately I have a secret weapon to help me, which I am going to share with you now.

This resource is also a wonderful help when I need to know how to pronounce foreign words (very common when recording an audio tour for an exotic place in another country for example), or medical terms which can be quite the tongue-twister.

My go-to place for pronunciation guidance is Forvo dot com.

Forvo is a huge database of pronunciations of common words, place names, and people's names, in dozens and dozens of languages. The pronunciations have been recorded by native speakers - and in the case of English there are the UK and US variants - thank goodness!

I can highly recommend the site - there is also a section on useful phrases if you are travelling to another country, which you can download as an app.

When I receive a script with lots of foreign words, I am always delighted when the client also includes a pronunciation guide that they have recorded for me, but when they don't, Forvo is a great back up.

If you have a look at Forvo yourself I'd love to know what you think of it.

Exhibits include a back-lit panoramic bird’s-eye view of Victorian Louth, rocks and fossils of the Lincolnshire Wolds, the disastrous Louth Flood of May 1920, the story of the Ghost of the Green Lady and the largest national collection of Victorian woodcarvings by Thomas Wilkinson Wallis.

You've probably heard the term 'explainer video' a few times - but what exactly is an explainer video, and why might you want one?

Put simply, an explainer video is a short video (usually under 3 minutes) that explains a company's product or service. They are used for marketing purposes on landing pages, websites and social media.

Explainer videos can take a number of different formats including:

Live Action - real people appear in the video, talking to camera or each other. These work well for companies with a physical product, or a people-orientated service (such as a restaurant).

Animated - these are probably the most popular type of explainer video. They work well for service-based businesses, or where the product is intangible, such as a piece of software. These videos are easy to update if changes are needed in the future.

Whiteboard animation - these are the videos that look like they are being hand drawn on a whiteboard, and are the cheapest of all the explainer videos to make, which makes them very popular. There are even packages such as Powtoon and Doodly that allow you to make these for yourself.

I've provided voiceovers for all sorts of different explainer videos, in many different sectors.

As for why you might want to use explainer videos in your marketing - the statistics are staggering. Here are just a few:

Videos attract 300% more traffic and help to nurture leads. (MarketingSherpa)
A website is 53 times more likely to reach the front page of Google if it includes video. (Insivia)
Including a video on your landing page can boost your conversion rate by up to 80%. (Unbounce)
Video increases organic search traffic on a website by 157%. (Conversion XL)

Are you convinced yet? If you already have an explainer video, is it working well for you? If not - are you going to get one?!
