Kightly, I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but I just have to comment on some of the posts on here. Some of you that are having a hard time making money doing something that you love, I feel your pain and I may have a solution for you. Have you ever thought about using your skills to help out other business owners?
The reason that I'm on this forum is because I have made some instructional type videos of my trade and sell them online. I want to get better and better at doing that, thus, I'm here. There are many business owners out there that would kill for a great video for their service or product, but just don't have the know-how to get it done.
I'm sure some of you guys could make some really nice videos/commercials, etc. to help pay the bills and then some. I make some decent money off of my cheesy videos that I did and my niche is VERY small. I also shot the videos with a $89 Kodak digital camera and edited it using Windows Movie Maker!!!
If somebody like me can make a couple grand a month off of some goofy (yet relevant and helpful to my industry) videos, you guys can easily supplement your incomes by making professional looking stuff for hungry business owners.
Hope I gave some of you an idea or two, and hope I didn't impose too much on your thread, Knightly. If so, I will delete my post, just let me know.
