I'm Too Picky for Video

So after I read the chapter in Building on a Budget about making and uploading videos to drive traffic to my lead capture page, I started working on a video.

I found that I'm far too picky for this kind of stuff.

I watched several of the home brew videos that people post and I just don't feel like they're of the qualify I would want to present to the world. Some of them just look tacky.

I stress the importance of a complete package - don't do it half way, and don't shoot your wad for a bunch of junk. So instead of The Flip, I invested in a slightly more expensive video camera that also takes pictures and stills in HD. It's actually a great little camera, and with the extra memory card, I paid about $200 for it.

So my total's creeping up (plus this is month two of my autoresponder costs), but I've already used it to take some great pictures for my website. You'll be seeing those soon.

I'm pretty excited about the next chapter in Mike's book, press releases. I've already been using press releases, and I'm excited about the prospect of making them work even better for me.
