Here’s a quick video of the new Sony Camera I recently picked up at G&G Electronics in Toronto. I have found the camera to be perfect for shooting the weekly one hour videos for Dr. Melissa’s Namaste Yoga and for doing UFC interviews like the one I did last weekend.
It’s small enough to carry around, the lens is terrific, the colours are amazing and it’s a fairly simple camera to get up and running. If you’re interested in getting a camera that can shoot awesome video with the ability to plugin a microphone for professional sound and your budget is less than $2500 then this might be the cam for you. If you have any questions about this camera or advice on a semi-pro gear don’t hesitate to send me an email!
Cheers
Tim
p.s. Don’t forget, if you’re in the Toronto area to visit G&G Electronics for all your electronics needs, the service is exceptional and so are the prices.
How to sell a trailer in 24 hours or less! or car or boat!
Some of the things I have learned so far from Online Marketing, has been the need for Google to find you quickly, what ever the service or product. Once found traffic will flow! To that end I was asked by my family to sell their travel trailer. I used a variety of websites and was able to get Google to rank my listings within 8 hours and had the trailer sold and off the driveway within 14 hours!
How did I do this? Here are the bullet points:
Checked the market for pricing
First I took about 36 photos and about 8 clips of video.
Made a short video, with a narration and uploaded it to Youtube
Went to Squidoo and made a simple web page (with the Youtube video and pictures/description copied from the Kijiji Ad.
Uploaded the same info to Selling Cars website (personal blog page)
Uploaded the Youtube video and content to my selling cars Facebook page
and lastly uploaded the info to my personal Facebook page
Within 8 hours Google had found the video/listings and I was on page one for the search term and year of the trailer, in fact even though I have now deleted all the ads (I don’t want any more calls!), the links are still on Google!
It was a simple process but the end result was a focused marketing effort directed at a specific audience. Total cost around $20
