Learn How to Shoot Your Online Videos Like a Pro - Full Day Workshop May 12th

That's a fact! Video will be the most common form of online use by 2014* (*stat according to Cisco).
However, with the average price for a two minute video at $1,000+, I understand that it could be an expensive challenge to get all the videos you want, when you want and the way you want them.
Unless you learn to do it yourself.
Expert on Video is offering a full day Video Shooting Course on May 12th, from 10am to 4:30pm for those who want to learn how to shoot online video for yourself
In this course you'll learn:
*Where to purchase all your gear for under $1,000.
*Which camera to buy, what lights you need, which editing software to use and where to get these.
*About the different types of videos you can and will want to shoot.
*How to create a multiple video shooting strategy campaign for yourself or your company.
*Where to host your videos and how to get it on your website and online.
*And more!
The regular/public cost for this is $497 but HOBN members can get this at 40% for $297 by using the promo code "HOBN".
You know you need video but not sure this course is for you? We have a Money Back Guarantee! If you decide that the course missed it’s mark and you don’t find it valuable for yourself, then we’ll be happy to return your registration fee! We want to make this workshop no risk for you and have you finish the day satisfied that you learned a lot about making your own videos for marketing.13 days ago -

The basic idea is you gather leads into the top the large opening in a funnel and ultimately end up with customers at the small end of the funnel. The problem with this approach is all the focus is on the chase.
The real payoff in marketing comes from expanding your thinking on how to turn a lead into a raving fan for your business…a real advocate.
The Marketing HourglassTM is a key component of the Duct Tape Marketing System. The top half is similar to the funnel concept, but the expanding bottom half adds the necessary focus on the total customer experience all the gurus tell you to do.

I agree with Daniel that 99designs can be great but you have to know how to set up the campaign to get good results... my best tip is to peruse portfolios for an evening and invite designers who's work you like to enter your competition. Much better results when you take the lead. Good luck!3 months ago
