What is going to work best in this situation is you being able to transfer the video onto Cd’s or Dvd’s for your clients. Even Vhs is still going to be an option for some of your clients, but meeting their needs is going to be what you should do first.

How are you going to advertise your services? Use direct sales using hangers on doors knobs telling about your service, your fees per hour and your fees per disk. Be sure that you put your email address and your phone number so others can reach you fast when they need a moviemaker!

Use the selling point that no one in the family has to miss out on the activities of a special occasion to film anything, and that you are inexpensive as well. Having a tri pod or a very steady hand is going to come in very handy when filming any event.

You can film basketball, football, plays, musicals and so much more – when parents can’t be there you can to catch all the events. This service could land you spots on local news or winning in a movie competition.

Place flyers in local stores, use the local free ad services to put your name in the newspaper and use the online free advertising to get your name on the local home pages. Customers will tell others and your service will spread, making you money.
