Torey, you did an excellent job! Your video was incredibly creative. You did a great job stating the point of your video and the benefit after introducing yourself. For your next video, put in your call to action at the beginning, instead of at the end, so your viewers know where to go from the start of your video. Keep smiling throughout the whole video to show your passion about your subject. Keep up the great work, Torey! We look forward to more great content!
