Start Your Video Production Business

By Luke Joiner

It is not unusual now for young people to contemplate making video Merchandise to buy on the web - you might even have been throwing around more ideas than you can really know how to make money with. This is an easy trap to fall into so it's important to do some brainstorming for conceptions initially, but always be certain to put a limit on your conception development stage. If you let it drag on, you'll never get anything finished. Set deadlines for yourself even when you think you don't have to. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're making progress toward your goal when in fact you haven't gotten anything completed.

The failure to focus on one project and take it over to successful completion is a clear mark that you're shillyshallying. If you get a brainwave for making some other video product each day, but you still haven't made a finished production to sell on the World Wide Web, make up your mind to do something about it now. Suppose your friends all say you're a natural comic and you've been playing around with the idea of creating a comedy routine or skit. One way to get it done is by setting priorities, sticking to a plan, and setting deadlines.

Set a day and time to start the video and stick to it by approaching this as if you were doing a job for rent. When you force yourself to get things finished, you'll start to notice a large difference in the outcomes you get. How much time you give yourself depends on how much time you can really spend working on the project, of course. If you're making this at night or on the weekends, you plainly need more time than a full-time Internet marketer who is planning a promotional video for a web site. Get out of bed one hour earlier if that's the only way you can find time to do it and approach it as a project for one month by marking your filming for one month from today - then stop thinking about it and start composing a script.

Individuals who get things complete know that there is ne'er a perfect time to start whereas people who hold back for inspiration before they start a script never get started. As Jack London said, "You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club". You have to get something down on paper to trigger off connections between ideas and my best thoughts invariably come during the composing process - never in the "thinking about what to write" stage.

Experience has taught me to just start composing and get it all down on paper so when I have a first outline in front of me, that's when I get inspired. I see all kinds of things I ne'er would have seen without the stimulant of the ideas that came on the face of it out of nowhere as I was working on the first draft of my script. So stop thinking about it and get a script on paper, then revise, shoot it and put it up for sale on the Internet - but get started today.
