Calling all electricians interested in sharing their technical knowledge to help their peers work smarter and safer by creating customized technical video content. We’re on the hunt for electricians just like you to share valuable insights, best practices, tips/tricks, and time-saving techniques from the field through the lens of your video camera or smartphone.
It you’re not already familiar with EC&M’s “The Everyday Electrician” short-form video series, it’s time to check it out (www.ecmweb.com/members-only/videos/the-everyday-electrician). Since launching this initiative in January 2024, it really has taken on a life of its own through our social media channels (Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok). Gaining significant traction among industry professionals very quickly, this platform features real-life job site experiences from Trevor Ottmann, President of 3/0 Electric, an electrical contracting firm based in Bennet, Neb., that focuses largely on commercial/industrial jobs and agricultural electrical work. Providing a day-in-the-life glimpse into Trevor’s work, viewers have loved learning from his troubleshooting strategies, tips and tricks, and electrical best practices in an easy-to-digest, relatable format.
EC&M is looking to expand this concept to encompass more “everyday electricians,” representing different market sectors to showcase the unique and diverse work our audience tackles on a daily basis. This is your moment to shine. No matter what electrical niche you specialize in, we’d like to hear from you — the goal is sharing your skills with a growing community of electrical professionals who are passionate about their craft.
The purpose of this call for content creators is simple: Create a professional space where electricians can exchange real-world knowledge in an accessible format that encourages interaction, engagement, and information sharing. By participating, contributors not only help fellow electrical professionals but also gain exposure to EC&M’s massive online audience. It’s an opportunity to establish credibility, connect with industry peers, and spark meaningful conversations about the realities of electrical work — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Submitting is easy. Electricians interested in being featured simply need to record a short (two-minute or less) vertical video showcasing a tip, trick, or best practice from the job site. After filling out our video submission form online at https://bit.ly/3EeIPrD, selected participants will be contacted directly by the EC&M editorial team and potentially featured across our social media platforms, newsletters, and website. Although there is no monetary compensation for this opportunity, the potential to reach a vast audience and elevate one’s industry standing in the trade is invaluable.
Are you ready to step into the spotlight? EC&M’s “The Everyday Electrician” is waiting for you to get involved. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a rising star, your electrical expertise is needed. Submit your video today for a chance to become a recognized voice in the electrical community!
