Creating Commercial Video Products To Sell
If you’ve been thinking about creating video products for sale on the Internet - it is also possible you have been tossing around more visions than you can really know how to handle. This is an easy hole to fall into so it’s essential to do some brainstorming for conceptions initially, but always be certain to put a limitation on your conception development stage. If you let it drag on, you’ll never get anything completed. Set deadlines for yourself even when you believe 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 done.
The failure to focus on one project and take it through to successful finish is a perfect sign that you’re shillyshallying. If you get a brainstorm for making a different video production every day, but you still haven’t produced a complete product to deal on the Web, make up your mind to do something about it today. Suppose your friends all say you’re a natural comic and you’ve been playing around with the thought of creating a comedy routine or skit. The only way to get it finished is by marking priorities, following a plan, and making deadlines.
Pick a day to start the video and stick to it by approaching this as if you were doing a job for hire. When you force yourself to get things done, you’ll begin to observe a large difference in the outcomes you get. How much time you give yourself depends on how much time you can actually spend working on the job, of course. If you’re doing this at nighttime or on the weekends, you plainly need more time than a full-time Internet marketer who is preparing a promotional video for a site. Get out of bed one hour earlier if that’s the only way you can find time to do it and attack it as a job for one calendar month by setting your filming for one calendar month from today - then stop thinking about it and start writing a script.
Individuals who get things done recognise that there is never a exact time to begin whereas individuals 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 written on paper to trigger off connections between ideas and my best ideas always come during the composing process - never in the “thinking about what to write” stage.
Experience has taught me to just begin publishing and get it all down on paper so when I make a first draft in front of me, that’s when I get inspired. I see all sorts of things I ne’er would have seen without the stimulation 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 commenced today.
