Dance Videography and Web Video Marketing with Social Media

Many dancers don't realize the power of video beyond grant submissions
and panel reviews. And when it comes time to 'hire' a dance videographer,
the price almost can't be justified because after all, many of us are in the midst of
financial ruin and fear is running many of our lives.

So why pay to document a live show? The full answer is revealed in my report which you can download and read at no cost to you.

Why pay for me to document your show - and specifically me?
If you're a regular customer, you know the benefits to that.

Beside having competitive dance rates, that are a fraction of business rates,
you get support after the shoot is over.
That means if you need to meet a deadline and you need your DVD duplicated, I can do that frequently within a day.
There are hundreds of video hosting sites,it's not just Youtube out there.
Optimization for your videos so your work gets seen is also critical for you while you consider social media, blogs, web 2.0.
That is part of the price you're paying for me to document your event.

Oh and if you're interested, I'll be co-hosting a two hour workshop on using video and social media on April 30th. Sign up here:

But getting back to my little rant, dance, theater and music creatives as well as small business professionals such as spiritual healers, massage therapists, reiki masters, life coaches, have opportunities beyond Wall Street. So don't let price scare you away into mediocrity or settling for less than you deserve.

Granted this is only my opinion but I believe we are the backbone for the healing in this country and it feels great when we take actions in our work that we know has impact.

Talking about impact, after experiencing 5 personally traumatic events between 2007 - 2008, which left me incapable of working to my fullest potential, I managed to maintain my business and that would not have been possible if it were not for my regular customers. That tells me you believe in my work as much as I believe in yours.

Thank you for keeping me alive.

warmly,
Maribel
