from Video Business Advisor members will help you decide.

I have used the Video Business Advisor resources many times when Im either stumped by something or in need of a creative idea. And 9 times out of 10, Im rewarded with an answer or an inspiration! Thanks go out to all of our members who take the time to share their knowledge, wisdom, experience and support! One example comes to mind. In early 2006, I was preparing to invest a sizeable sum of money in film transfer equipment. I searched the Video Business Advisor member site for information about a particular vendor, and was rewarded with several threads of communication by members who have done business with this particular company. I reached out to several of these members, writing e-mails to ask more specific questions and seek their opinion on the quality of the equipment. Several took the time to share their opinions and rave about the company and the equipment. The opportunity to acquire this kind of market intelligence in ones due diligence search is fabulous in such a supportive and informed community like the VBA. Long story short, I bought the equipmentand film transfer has accounted for probably 60 percent of my business during the year. Its great! Dave Cleveland dac Video Productions

A few years back I joined the Video Business Advisor. I didn't know much about the organization but it was cost-effective and there seemed to be lots of information available on the site. Over the last few years I have learned many, many, things about the video business and how to make the business run a lot smoother. The Video Business Advisor is a really great and affordable resource for anyone running a video business (or any type of business). Ernie Creel Keepsake Video Productions

The Video Business Advisor gives me access to the wisdom of a thousand successful videographers, people who have encountered the problems that I face and solved them... no need to reinvent the wheel. That saves me time and makes me money. Joe Bauer Yesterday's Memories Video Production

I've been guilty for many years of simply surviving. Revenues have been meager. The school of hard knocks has helped me see that a serious change is necessary. With Steve Yankee's materials and help, as well as the intense study of other materials and mentoring from great associates, thie next year is looking very exciting!!

"Primarily, the Video Business Advisor provides me a sounding board for some of my ideas for business or marketing. I get the camaraderie of the water cooler discussions of other professionals business. And, I get that little encouragement to do the things that I know I should - like make a marketing plan before I implement it. Steve Mann

Opening up and sharing ideas with the Video Business Advisor family has helped me over the past years with many aspects of my business, including our newest venture, a Buy-Local Streaming service. From this service we are also working on adding touch-screen kiosk to what we offer. All of this is a direct result of the Video Business Advisor. Using the VBA as a sounding board helps me grow as a producer, marketer and person. Learning from others is important to all of our growth; and you can certainly learn right here!

"Although I've been in the business for 25 years I am constantly learning new ways to market my business, improve the quality of customer service and enrich my knowledge of the video production industry. It seems that we (videographers) are so driven by the technical side of the business that we tend to emphasize features (3-chip cameras, great microphones, etc) and fall short on enhancing the benefits. Steve Yankee's Video Business Advisor, coupled with the many useful products you offer, have been very beneficial. Bruce Blackwell American Video Productions

I spend an awful lot of my spare time on the Video Business Advisor site and seldom turn away without having found some new idea or food for thought. Thanks so much. Last night's teleseminar on marketing video biographies was yet another fine job!" Gene Shaw Heirloom Productions

I've found some very interesting reading and several ways to help bring my business from just "fooling around" with video into a much more marketable business. I'm a technician at heart, and I would imagine that marketing is most likely our biggest obstacle. I joined the Video Business Advisor to obtain better marketing and general business ideas, and your tools have helped expand the possibilities." Bob McCroskey

Since joining, I've been accessing the Video Business Advisor site almost daily -and I'm amazed at the amount & quality of content available. Over the last few weeks, I've been able to leverage materials and files from the site to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' -which I definitely appreciate. I've also been able to put together several new services & partnership plans with companies in my area, based on info and suggestions from the VBA. John Korossy

"It is hard to get information from the street, so the Video Business Advisor has not only pointed out many ideas and tips to me, but also pointed my in directions that i could not have gone on my own." Jerry Koller

"Your site has been a fantastic boost to me and helped me out. Its great because it enables people to share ideas, thoughts, and suggestions. Even though most of your members are in the US, and I am in the UK, I still find most of the stuff very useful!" Kevin Crabtree Get Noticed Video
