subject: Start Publishing And Selling Your Own Video Products [print this page] It is not unusual now for young people to contemplate making video merchandise for sale on the World Wide Web - it is also possible you have been hurling around more ideas than you can actually be aware what to do with. This is an simple trap to fall into so it's important to do some brainstorming for conceptions initially, but always be sure to put a limitation on your concept development stage. If you let it drag on, you'll never get anything completed. Set deadlines for yourself even when you think you don't have to. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're making progress toward your goal when in fact you haven't gotten anything completed.
The failure to focus on one job and carry it over to successful finish is a clear mark that you're dilly-dally. If you get a brainstorm for producing some other video product each day, but you still haven't created a finished production to trade on the Web, make up your mind to do something about it today. Suppose your family all say you're a natural comedian and you've been playing around with the thought of making a comedy routine or skit. One way to get it complete is by setting priorities, adopting a plan, and setting deadlines.
Pick a day and time to shoot the video and stick to it by approaching this as if you were making a project for rent. When you put your mind to getting things done, you'll start to notice a large difference in the outcomes you get. How much time you give yourself depends on how much time you can in reality spend working on the job, of course. If you're doing this in the evening or on the weekends, you obviously need more time than a full-time Internet marketer who is preparing a promotional video for a site. Get up 60 minutes earlier if that's the only way you can find time to do it and approach it as a project for one month by setting your shoot for one calendar month from today - then stop thinking about it and start writing a script.
People who get things complete acknowledge that there is ne'er a exact time to begin whereas individuals who hold back for divine guidance before they start a script never get started. As Jack London said, "You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club". You have to get something written on paper to trigger off connections between ideas and my hottest thoughts invariably come during the composing procedure - never in the "thinking about what to write" stage.
Experience has taught me to just start writing and get it all down on paper so when I make a first outline in front of me, that's when I get inspired. I see all sorts of things I never would have found without the stimulation of the thoughts that came apparently out of nowhere as I was working on the first draft of my script. So stop thinking about it and get a script on paper, then revise, shoot it and put it up for sale on the Internet - but get started up today.
