How to Embed your Video into your Email Signature:

✨ Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Record Your 20–30 Second Video
Keep it warm, on-brand, and casual. Example:
“Hey, I’m Sandy, if you’re reading this, chances are we’ve connected about real estate marketing. I specialize in Done-For-You content that keeps agents visible without burning out. Let’s stay in touch!”

Step 2: Upload It to a Host
→ Use a platform like YouTube (set as unlisted), Loom, or Vimeo.
These give you a clean, shareable link.

Step 3: Create a Play Button Thumbnail
Take a screenshot of your video, then overlay a play button icon using Canva or any photo editor. Save it as a small JPG or PNG.

Step 4: Link the Image in Your Signature
In your email signature:

Insert the image (your thumbnail)
Highlight it, click the link icon, and paste your video link

📩 It looks like a playable video, but clicking it will open the video in a new tab. Super clean. Very pro.

If you like this idea but either don’t have the time, doesn’t sound like fun, or just don’t want to do it yourself, let me know – I LOVE doing things like this!!

And this is the actual video on YouTube.

Sandy, you've done an amazing job getting me "plugged in." I will certainly be recommending you!

Sandy at Bild a Better Business continues to amaze me with her expertise and generousity!

“Sandy Bild is the most efficient and effective assistant I have had the pleasure to work with. She is ALWAYS on time with assignments and is very proficient with her work. She is able to mutli-task and keep work-load running smoothly. One of the things I found most helpful with Sandy is that she keeps on top of my busy schedule and keeps me organized. She is self-sufficient and a self-starter. The experience she brings to the field is invaluable.”

“In the past 3 ½ years Sandy has worked with me, it feels no longer like it’s my business but it’s ours. Together we work perfectly as a team. I know my strengths and I certainly appreciate hers. Sandy has been able to take down my creative ideas and put them on paper to create what I believe to be an outstanding reflection of my business. She has given me the ability to focus on what I do best, sell real estate! Instead of me using my precious time working on the details of advertising, blog posts, researching the proper materials for keeping my clients informed, I count on Sandy for that task! Having someone who “gets it” and then put it into text and production is essential and she does that!”

Would You Hire You?

It’s funny how so many life lessons can be connected to the world of real estate. Who knew a dead car battery in my Subaru Outback could spark such a clear reminder of how customers want to be treated before they even meet you?

Let me take you along for the ride, assuming my car decides to cooperate this time.

For the last few days, my car wouldn’t start – a dead battery. I knew the battery was nearing the end of its life; no big deal, I thought. I ran to Costco, purchased a new battery, and popped it in; voilà. It STARTED!

The next morning, I went out to start my car, and — UGH! DEAD again! (EWWW- Foot Stomp!!) It didn’t emit a glimmer, a beep, or a buzz.
