Show ‘N Tell is our discovery day for those who are interested in opening up their own studio. I found myself strolling out by my hotel after lunch and happened upon a still photographer, who was walking rather briskly towards the hotel.  That begs the question, how can one be still and briskly at the same time? You can always tell a still photographer by that giant Cannon or Nikon hanging from their neck (usually with a heck of a long lens attached). This guy fit the bill, so I struck up a conversation with him. 

He was on his way to a business event to take photos (no surprise there really). Of course, I told him I was a video producer/director and this took us to the subject of still cameras that shoot video. Jeb (not his real name) was all excited about the new Canon 5D, which he claimed was supposed to shoot awesome HD video. We talked about it for some time.
 
Today, when I opened up Thursday’s  USA Today (October 1, Money Section, Page 4B), sure enough, there was a review of two new Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras that shoot HD video, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II being one and the  Nikon D90 being the other. Read the review for yourself. It is quite interesting.
 
There are pros and cons to both cameras concerning their ability to shoot video (and record sound) but I see this as a great opportunity for our studios now and in the future. First, as many of my readers know, we (HVS Studio Owners) are creators and modifiers of content. We don’t care if we create the content or our clients do. Creation is fun but what we are interested in is making money. That is always the bottom line.
 
Now, I can think of a number of ways to use the new Canon 5D. It may be that one day all image-gathering devices will shoot video and snap digital stills. For now, Home Video Studio owners and me are interested in the convergence of these formats and this trend.
 
There has never been a better time then now to become a Home Video Studio owner! Call me today and let’s discuss your future. I’ll even throw in a Canon 5D. Just say you read it here! After all, is it 5D or not 5D that is the question? Or maybe are you “to be or not to be?”
 
Tired of working for Corporate America? Just get laid off? Call me and we can chat of what’s to be!

You can read about them and their studio in Moorpark, California in this week’s front- page news article in the Ventura County Star. See link: http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/sep/30/home-sweet-videos/

This young couple has been owners for less than a year and continues to surpass all goals. As you read, they even took home six Hanley Awards – HVS’ version of the Oscars - at our annual convention held in Walt Disney World in August. That’s pretty darn amazing!

Yesterday, one of our new owners asked me if I was concerned because the stock market dropped 778 points. I said no, not at all really. Our Home Video Studio owners had record sales last week, that was one reason. The other is more basic and very really very simple. My stock and those of our owners are in our own companies. We love what we do and we do what we love. That is why most of our owners got into our own business. Home Video Studio is a shortcut to success -- a vechicle for making money. Speaking of making money our top franchise for last week did $5898.61! Call me for the rest of the top five! We'll talk about how you can join us!

I know all this because my Dad was a Fuller Brush man. Dad would regale us with stories at the dinner table of how he and my uncle Willard would spend 12 - hours - a- day traipsing up and down the steps and stairs of Chicago homes and apartments, going door-to-door (just like in the movies) and selling those brushes. Sometimes Dad would also tell us kids stories about getting the brush-off from one of his girlfriends but that is another story!

Anyway, the fact is that you don’t have to be a salesman to make money with video production services. Home Video Studio owners have a product that really sells itself. People, companies and organizations want the videos and services that we offer. Most of the time, you will simply be an order taker. Occasionally, you will put your salesperson hat on and sell. The advantage to owning a Home Video Studio is that this venture just naturally increases the number and quality of people, who want and need your video production services. We teach you how to attract business.

It also helps that we are in a business that is basically recession proof. Remember we have 27 profit centers! Something is always cooking. Many of our studios are reporting record sales right now. That gives them and their customers great comfort. Find out how you can easily make $3,000 to $6,000 per week and more. Call me and let’s talk about how you can become part of Home Video Studio. I guarantee that I won’t give you the brush-off!

If they are doing video as a hobby and or have a passion for it, they want to know how they can sell it. So many people say, “I’m glad I finally found someone or some company who can show me how to make a business out of this thing, can you teach me your system?” If they are already in the video business, many ask, “I (or we) want more business. Can I join your network or can I learn the marketing part?” Indeed, many people have no previous video experience, but they still want a business that they can run from home or from a small office. They want to depend on themselves. They usually ask this question, “Can I replace my current income in this business?”

What is your view? What do you see? Thousands are losing their jobs or being downsized these days. I know that responses to our advertising are increasing everyday. Many people are deciding to make an opportunity out of a layoff situation. Still others are not waiting for some notice, they are taking the bull by the horns and starting their own Home Video Studio. Why not turn your hobby into your profession?

We had a Show ‘N Tell here last Saturday. A wonderful couple from the East coast flew to Indianapolis and spent the weekend with Denise and me. They are part of a growing number of owners, who will operate out of a storefront or an office. What a huge opportunity for them and for Home Video Studio. We warmly welcome them aboard.

What about you? What are you waiting for? We have upcoming Show ‘N Tells in Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend – Saturday, September 20. I will be in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, September 24. We will be in Tampa, FL on Tuesday, September 30. On Saturday, October 4, we will be coast-to-coast holding Show ‘N Tells in Seattle, WA and also in Long Island, NY. Perhaps you will be our next attendee and possibly our next owner? Remember, we make our own opportunities. God just opens a window for us.
