Work from home opportunity - Digital Content Broker

Small Business people gain 
a huge value when they 
hire independent 
content creators and talent.


Digital Content Broker
You - Need Digital stuff
We - Explain digital stuff to you



In this COVID19 environment 
a one stop shop for 
creating and distributing your
digital content is more
important than ever.

Less steps.

More safe.

THAT'S A LOT!
Let us do it for you....

Let's consider this:
How many steps did it take 
to create this blog post?
a LOT.

Why do I, as a 
Digital Content Producer, 
create content?

Let's find out!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

WHY CREATE THIS BLOG?


**The Answer...
I only need about 10 people 
to see this one blog post, 
and I will turn that into a 
"Sale" directly, or I will 
send a "referral" to a friend 
who can convert that 
person into a Sale, by 
offering a needed service
to him or her.


It only takes ONE person, 
to be interested in ONE thing, 
that I do, for us to do business...


DO YOU HAVE ANY OLD PHOTOS
IN A HARD DRIVE?  I did...

That's MONEY, just sitting there getting dusty...

THE PHOTO ABOVE
WAS SAVED IN A
HARD DRIVE, A FEW
MINUTES BEFORE THIS
BLOG WAS CREATED.


I knew if I create this post,
I am giving myself one more chance
to find the person
who needs my help...



Here it goes again.......

My wife and I create all of the content.

CONTENT: 
Home decor items, purchase dresses for re-sale on Digital Vintage, photography to market the products, social media copyright, and blogs for digital distribution.


People need help from
DIGITAL CONTENT BROKERS and
DIGITAL CONTENT CREATORS.


WHY?....
Small business people usually don't
understand HOW or WHAT to purchase
when it comes to Digital Marketing.

I can help you with that.


I offer consultations and I can explain
what it means to convert your business
to operating on Digital Platforms.


When was the last time you had a 
personal or business
financial review?

 I KNOW A GUY who offers 
complimentary consultations.

Too EASY!


(Why would I add the section below?)
Answer: SEO
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION


I want this Blog to be found in searches, 
so I add some extra descriptions to help 
give the blog a higher chance of being found.


If I can do ALL of this with ONE old photo,
can you imagine how much content you're sitting on?
a LOT.

Production Design Sample # 2
research video, Hollywood:

GOLD NUGGETS for filmmakers below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpI-Mi9RpHo

YouTube video description:

I spent a couple of days doing research for a very talented
Production Designer and course director, Barbara Dunphy
(IMDb her, she's awesome!)
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242986/

The information is for a scene from Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants.

I hope that this research can help somebody else in the future. I learned a LOT about filmmaking and becoming a producer while gathering this information.


My favorite part of the research was meeting all of the cool people that I will be working with in the near future! Richard Adkins at History for Hire was a tremendous help to me with his willingness to HELP!


I also felt like I was bothering Micah Embry (Art Department- micah.embry@gmail.com), but she didn't let that stop her from showing me around and helping me come up with a list of the exact things that I'd need. After my trip to History for Hire I took Micah's suggestion and went to Western Costume Co in North Hollywood. The staff welcomed me with open arms.


Jackie, Bill (after I found him), Frank and my smiling friend Susan were very generous with their time and knowledge! (*I forgot a couple of names from the Men's dept. in the back, but I didn't forget the HELP.) I greatly appreciate everyone's help. Thank you!

10 Questions to ask before getting into Marketing

4 Minute Blog:
Best questions to ask before choosing a career in Marketing


"Should I get into Marketing?" 





Ask yourself the questions below if you are considering a Career change anytime in the future. 


These Questions are designed for YOU to figure out "What" Marketing actually is in today's business environment, AND if Marketing would be a good, possible Career choice for YOU in the future, based on the new information you learn by asking these questions.



I did not include the answers, because I want people who are serious about their lives to do the proper research and figure out for themselves, if something is good or bad.




I wrote this complimentary blog.
I have done my part by providing a neat and consolidated list of questions for people who seek a career in Business and Marketing. 



Do YOUR PART if you are the job seeker.

Research. Ask questions. 



Do it happily.
The journey is the FUN part.
The questions below are a great start for you!






After you have taken the proper time to smartly answer the questions below, by typing it out, or writing your answers on paper (in your head does not count) You should create your own list of questions and ask the right people for the answers. 





Your questions should be more in depth information about the Marketing field, or you can be inspired to start creating lists for different Career fields that you may wish to explore in the future.





Did you know that you can go on job interviews for your "Dream Job" while you are still employed, at your job that sucks?



It's true!




You should create an exit strategy, while you have the stability of a "job" until you find something else that makes you happy.





Me: You're willing to work hard, right?  
You: Yes.




Me: Why not work hard, and be HAPPY?  

You: Hmmm... Oh yeah George, You're right!


Did you know that

It is possible to find 
work that you 
will love to do?  


It IS Possible!


Other people do it everyday.  



You can create a plan of your goals, start  looking for a fun and challenging "side hustle" that makes you happy, then just do it. 





Go for it. 




Start doing that "thing" that 

you said you wanted
 to "try" someday....  



There is No "try" if 

you are already "DOing" 
your thing. 


Choose your THING. 

Do your THING.




Take a baby step to get started. 

Just take a step.


Move forward toward 

something that you know is yours. 


You deserve the best. 


You will create a way 
to get what you want!


Best 10 questions to ask 

before choosing a career 
in Marketing:




(*Actually it's more than
 10 Questions to help you...)


What is My idea of Marketing?


1)  Who must use Marketing?


2)  What does a Marketer do?


3)  What does Marketing do for a product, service, or company?


Is Digital Marketing the same as Traditional Marketing?


4)  How can a person become a Marketing Specialist?


5)  If a person is a Marketer, are they a Salesperson too?


What is my definition of Marketing?


Would Marketing be a good fit for people who want part-time work?


6)  Does Marketing do the same thing as Branding?


Is a Marketing career a good choice for Veterans and their families?


7)  What type of Experience do you need to become a Marketing Consultant?


Why is Marketing an important part of the Business cycle?


8)  Do I need to be a Computer genius to do online Marketing?


9)  Do most people earn a good living wage working in the Marketing field?


10)  Is a College degree required to get into Marketing?

INDEPENDENT (Indie) MODEL WANTS TO MAKE MONEY

…Like, I’m an Indie model and I want to get paid.  Now what?

INDEPENDENT MODEL WANTS TO MAKE MONEY – MUST READ*

1.  Do you have a modeling teacher, coach, or mentor?   This is not about being a pretty face and taking pictures.  This is a professional career and craft that might take over 10 years to develop.

                a.  Take the critiques of people that know what they're talking about very seriously and make the adjustments that they suggest.  Who cares how you FEEL, just do it.  You might actually learn a lot about yourself and your technique.

2.  Do people in your local area BUY your photos or merchandise?  Do they hire you for gigs, promos, or photography sessions?  Are you selling any content? Are people requesting your merchandise?  What have they asked for?  Where can you get items produced?  What is the cost?  Will you be shipping?

3.  What is your Brand?  What IS a Brand?  When your NAME comes up, what idea should pop into a person’s mind?  WHO are you? (Time for research) You must DEVELOP, PROMOTE, and MARKET yourself.  This means a LOT more than Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  What are the best sites for working models?

4.  Do you know what the below terms actually mean when it comes to the MODELING industry: Marketing, eCommerce, Promotions, Digital Distribution, Publishing, Licensing, Intellectual Property and Copyright Protection?
(Do some research on successful indie models that you follow.  How do they do it?)
                 a.  Do you READ BOOKS that can educate you on your industry?  Do you read about those subjects daily?  Are you obsessed with learning about the MODELING BUSINESS?  You NEED to be.  *Brains & Beauty = Higher chance of SUCCESS

5.  Have you ever talked to an entertainment law attorney?  Look for one and email them.  Do you know if you “own” the photos that other photographers have taken of you?  Do you know any Modeling managers that are currently working in the industry?  If so, what degree of success have they achieved?- Meet the RIGHT people.

6.  Do you have phenomenal talent? …..Your talent has to be better than: MEH, better than GOOD, and better than GREAT too!!  Are your fans left in awe every time you post a blog or photograph?  If the CEO of ELLE magazine or MAXIM Magazine saw you right now, would that person be impressed by your full package? (Social Media, Body, Face, Community involvement, work history, future plans, etc..?)  Are you ready?
Is your work remarkable?  REMARK-ABLE.  Do you offer anything different than other models?

7.  Does your social media look like some of your favorite model’s sites?  Are your social media sites updated regularly, and with the correct information?  Is the content interesting and professional?  Do you have an online audience that engages with your posts?  Have they ever bought anything from you?
                 a.  Run your social media like a business runs their social sites.  You are here to make money; are your posts generating income?  If not; why not?  Do you have a marketing and branding campaign that you stick with?

8.  Are you highly motivated, dedicated, and willing to work harder than the next model?  How?  Do you have a plan?  What is your daily plan?  What do you consider “working” when you’re trying to build your company?
a.  Are you using your time effectively?  Ask yourself at the end of each day, "If I was the CEO of my modeling company, based on my performance today, would I hire myself again tomorrow?"

9.  Do you follow-up after meeting new people?  Have you emailed EVERY person that has given you a business card with a proposal to create content for them?  Are you networking with the proper people?  Are you networking correctly?  How are you offering to help them?  What are you asking for?

The above steps are over 10 years of experience in social media and working with indie models.  Shortcuts do not exist; you must do the work to achieve success.  This blog should serve as a guide to help a new model get on track with creating income for themselves.  FOLLOW the steps for a good start.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or to set up a consultation.  Thank you for taking a quick read.

How to Book a job or gig as an indie filmmaker

DISCLAIMER:  There are many ways of doing many things.  Below you will read about one way of making money as an independent filmmaker.  There may be more effective ways that you like better.  Please take the time to research what works best for you.  READING is a MUST.  If you need help with anything below, you can contact me at georgeohan@gmail.com
-------------------------------------

Independent filmmakers usually have a hard time making money....  Why?  Well,  I think it is because most of them are actually artists, rather than business people.  So, artist....If you no longer want to be known as a "starving artist" please begin to develop habits that will result in booking more work.

The fact of the matter is that the film industry is just like any other business when it comes to producing content.  We NEED customers.  We must SEEK our target audience.  People must KNOW what we do.  This is a numbers game.  The more people that you DIRECTLY ask for business, the more gigs you will book.

This model is based on shooting HD video content and photography for: small businesses, music artists, bands, events, short films, YouTube content, documentaries, and feature length films.

As a filmmaker, when people ask me ,"What do you do?"  My response is,"I'm a producer."  That's when I notice a blank stare.  After seeing this same result several times I knew that I had to communicate more effectively.   The general public does not know that a producer is responsible for: actors, locations, contracts, craft services, equipment, crew, post production, and everything else it takes to PRODUCE one project.  When I explained this information to my potential clients, they took my offer a lot more seriously.

A few of the steps that have increased my chances of booking more work have been:

1.  Set solid goals that I want to hit. Sales, income, follow-ups, social media posts, training.
2.  Gather a minimum of 3 business cards daily (Follow up with email less than 72 hours)
3.  Teach business model to all potential partners/crew so they can book work for us too
4.  Write treatments and pitch to businesses about creating a commercial for them
5.  Advertise on my personal social media TELLING people what I do
6.  Talk to 10 people that I do NOT know daily (Build Relationships)
7.  Research, Research, Research. (Potential clients have a NEED; find it)
8.  Follow-up with past customers and gage satisfaction
9.  Set a minimum of 5 appointments per week to discuss HD content creation
10.  Designate a time for follow-ups, marketing emails, and face to face appointments
11.  Search the websites on flyers and promotional items from various places in town
12.  Update all of contact information on various websites and social media
13.  Have a price list, scope of work, and completion times readily available for clients
14.  I volunteer on many sets just to meet more people and book future gigs
15.  Offer much more than just HD content creation; help with social media too
16.  Ask effective, fact finding, open-ended questions to figure out if a person needs my service

In my opinion it is every crew member's responsibility to help book work.  A producer and a director will have an extremely hard time trying to do this on their own.  It is much more effective when an entire group of people are working closely to book gigs.

Producer, Director, 1st AD, UPM, Gaffer, Grip, Editor, Art Director, VFX artist, Production Designer, can all help with the mission of booking gigs.   If your team knows that the producer can make it happen once the job is booked, you will be much more successful.

You MUST talk to a lot of people.  They MUST know what you do.  You MUST effectively communicate your objective.  Follow-ups are a MUST.  Professionalism and proper presentation is a MUST.
