We’re getting into my favorite topic on this episode: ecommerce video production! An entirely different creative and business process before any video can perform successfully. Ecommerce product videos empower shoppers with product knowledge and confidence. Shopping online is an amazing resource for our busy lives and growing by leaps and bounds every day. But eCommerce sites lack the tangibility and real-life product demos that people get in brick and mortar shops. There is no salesman or pro staff to pitch the product and relay product information relative to each customer’s unique situation. eCommerce lacks the human touch. Video Review Labs creates eCommerce video experiences that make online shopping more tangible and genuine. When people are shopping for higher price point products or technically complicated products like pro camping gear or electronics, they need to thoroughly understand what they are getting in the box. When producing product videos, every e-commerce platform is different, the audie

We have a great podcast for you this week - hopefully solving the age old issue of a client not coughing up the goods…you know, that client who refuses to pay you after all of the video work you did. Freelancing in the video production world does have its perks but one of the downsides is that risk that your client won’t pay on time and is seemingly unreachable. In the dating world, when someone stops calling and seems to have fallen off the radar completely, it’s referred to as “ghosting.” As you can imagine, getting ditched by last night’s dinner date is disappointing, but it isn’t nearly as traumatic as being ghosted by a client you’ve spent a lot of time and did lots of work for, but suddenly disappear on you…not cool! Today’s guest is Dee Bowden, she teaches small business owners how to reconcile, resolve & recover OLD and OWED invoices to improve their cash flow. She just came out with a brand new book called Collect the Cash – a great resource for anyone who needs a strategy to deal with that gho

Now that it's easy for everyone to create video on their own, do we really need the big budget video professional? Video continues to be the most powerful form of content on the web and people know the importance of it in their marketing. I’m not blind to the fact that there’s a growing trend among businesses to create their own video content. There are pros and cons to making video content on your own and pros and cons to hiring someone to make video content for you. But what are they? Do you really need a video pro? We sat down with Richard Tiland from New Evolution Video Productions in San Diego, and really got down into the nitty gritty of this debate. We touch upon some topics no one wants to talk about.

The new pandemic world has different needs when it comes to video….you’re questions and emails to me personally are so telling…you're not seeing the opportunities as clear as you should in this new world…but they’re there hidden right in front of you. It’s important to know where the opportunities are…where the “food’ is. On this edition of the DV show podcast, we’re doing two things to lead you to the promised land where the big buffet is
