Is that what you just typed into Google? I totally get it. Do yourself a favor and don't skimp on video content. You'll end up hating whatever you get. If you searched for "cheap videographer near me" or "inexpensive video editor near me," you'll be stressed about the video the whole time. It's a horrible experience for everyone. There are effective ways to promote your local business on social media without hiring a cheap video professional.

Learning how to create content from your phone, will save your business money on content. You can also hire a consultant for the day, as a way to learn what content works best for your business.

I made a video for a Property Owners Association, near Canyon Lake. The goal was a social media video for their Facebook group. They wanted to promote a holiday party to new neighbors. We put this together in 20 minutes, and nothing was planned.

We had a quick conversation, turned the cameras on, and gave directions. The video was a success, the Party Was Packed, and the cookies were epic.

Be honest about your budget.

Being honest about your Budget from the beginning is important. My prices are on my website, but I still sometimes get calls that start with, “My business is still growing, and I don’t have a lot of money.” That’s totally cool. I never mind when someone starts with that. I’m able to give the client advice on what they can do on their own to help drive sales. I’m great at making something out of nothing.
