My friends and I decided to expand this project to more than a personal video; we will try to make this into a hobby and hopefully some day provide this service to other people for a nominal fee. As briefly mentioned in my previous blog, our target audience will be people who want an affordable short video about their relationship, pet, or a special events as a gift or simply as a memento! We are going to compose some sample videos first as advertising tools. But we need your help in providing us some advice about --- what you think will help us succeed? What will make you purchase our service?
I was browsing through some articles the other day and came across an article about how to promote your videos:

I thought it was very informative and I will definitely implement some of these methods when we complete our test videos. -- Does anyone else think these methods will work? Or have any better ideas?

My brother directed a music video last year to promote the movie he produced with a local artist in LA. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-People-Ive-Slept-With/126276650604
ReplyDeleteCheck it out. His name is Stanley Yung. He's one of my friends on Facebook, so feel free to send him a message. I'm sure he knows a lot about video editing.
Thanks, Stephen, I'll definitely do that! It'll be great to get some guidance as a newcomer.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteWhile that service would very much be appreciated by those not comfortable with a computer, just be cautious about the growing number of easy-to-use video editting packages that will compete with your service. I recently purchased Cyberlink's PowerDirector and it's awesome. I am putting together a DVD for my buddies from our last trip together and it's a hoot.
Good luck with your project!

I think showcasing your talent and getting the word out there about your service is the best way. Word of mouth is so effective. I would create some samples so you can display your work. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your advice! I have created a sample. It's definitely harder than I thought, but have to start somewhere. Practice, practice, practice!
