Etiquette for sending private messages: text, audio, or video?

Whether privately messaging someone via email, social media DM, or mobile text, which is better... writing, audio, or video? Here's my personal rule: 1. Writing is most respectful because it's the quickest for the other person to read. 2. The more of a relationship I have with someone, the more they'll likely be patient enough to listen to my audio / watch my video message to them... yet, if it's something I'm asking for / requesting, it's still more respectful to write if possible.  3. If recording audio/video, try to keep it under 1 minute 😅 and more about sharing emotion... not information, which can be shared via writing. 4. Except if I'm volunteering help to someone / doing them a favor, then audio/video longer is fine, but aim for no more than 3 minutes unless it's really super helpful to go longer 😄 5. Another exception -- if I'm responding to a client/student on a Q&A call and it's a video that will be watched by others, then of course, going longer (as you know I do!) than 3 minutes is normal 😂 What are your feelings when receiving a private message from someone you don't know super well?  Do you prefer writing, audio, or video?  Comment and let's discuss below.  You're allowed to disagree with me 😊 (If you cannot see -- or write -- comments below, it means you're not logged in.)

Jupp, roughly my own "rules too.

When you're introducing yourself in a group call...

Instead of just trying to say everything about what you do, make it more of an experience of your energy signature... 3-minute video about this

This is challenging to me. Meeting in real life I do pretty good. I work with energy, previously through music and words as a dj and entertainer, now as a healer and transition coach. And people pic up the energetics, and are then curios (or not). From there any “hard facts” easily slide into the conversation.

BUT getting this “energetic me” across in writing has been a 25 year long struggle. Basically all and any “marketing tricks” I’ve learned over the years; nope, not working.

Over the years the frustration has turned mostly into sadness. Writing and realizing this NOW, I had to stop. Suddenly there is an update to an 8 year old blog post called “Joy - the Catalyst”. Quote:

Sadness
Add a Droplet of Joy to sadness and it transforms into genuine Care.
Add another Droplet of Joy to genuine Care and it transforms to Presence.”
