- Hey everybody,
-
- I saw a post on the list recently about some people who were thinking about
- doing a tutorial book for certain programs. I thought it would be great to
- have information that no one has done before, and it's useful. I have talked
- with many people on the internet and there are several questions that have
- come up repeatedly. So, I thought I would ask you, if you thought it would
- be good to provide answeres to these questions in the form of a video.
-
- Intelligent Light is a small animation company, (2 guys) who provide graphic
- services to a wide range of clients. We do the animation for the "Barney"
- T.V. show as well as their "Home Video" collection and most of their
- marketing stuff.
- We work for ABC Sports, JC Penneys, Black and Decker, and a bunch of smaller
- local clients. The point to all of this is that we are just like most of
- you. I decided to start my own business 4 years ago and have learned quite a
- bit in the process. After answering the same questions over and over, I
- thought why not do a tape on it and let people use it as a guideline to
- start their own animation business. Here is a rundown ov the topics we would
- cover:
-
- START YOUR OWN ANIMATION / PRODUCTION BUSINESS
-
- Stop spending money and start making it!
-
- With the onslaught of techno toys and the latest and greatest software, it's
- easy to be trapped into thinking that you don't have enough gear or money to
- begin your own business. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE! Regardless of what you
- have there is SOMEONE out there who will pay for what you have to offer. It
- may very well be that what you have to offer is all they can afford, which
- means you can begin making money right away!
-
- Stay 100% debt free!
-
- Don't take out leases, and don't empty your savings to purchase your
- equipment. If you get a job and you don't have the resources to get it
- completed, FEAR NOT! There is a simple solution, and in many cases you can
- get it done without spending any money!
-
- How to market successfully!
-
- Getting work isn't as hard as it seems. With visual communications on the
- rise, there are more and more people looking for someone to produce their
- projects. We'll show you where to look!
-
- Learn to quickly qualify your clients!
-
- Since there are so many people looking for animation and production
- services, you'll be amazed at the lengths some will go to to get your
- services. We'll teach you the right questions to ask to quickly qualify your
- prospects sincerity and their ability to pay!
-
- Closing the sale!
-
- What do you say to convince your potential client that you are the one for
- the job? We'll tell you! Walk away from your meeting with a new client and
- money to make for your new business!
-
- Pitfalls! There are jobs you can afford not to take!
-
- Which jobs are right? Under optimum circumstances, all jobs are right.
- However, there are jobs that you should avoid like the plague! Find out
- which ones, and why.
-
- Learn what to charge for your services!
-
- The most frequently asked question of me is, "How do I know what to charge?"
- We'll show you a simple formula that you can use for getting all that your
- worth! No guess work! You'll know that you are making a profit for
- everything that you do!
-
- Collect from the ones who won't pay!
-
- It's justice, the Intelligent Light way! kill them, immediately! Just
- kidding! There are many little (less than 75$) or no money down steps that
- you can take to collect for your services. Theft of service is one of the
- highest forms of theft in the United States today! We'll show you how to
- protect yourself from getting robbed, and how to collect!
-
- How to create a perfect demo!
-
- Let's face it. You can have all the great toys but without work, you're
- HOSED! Learn how to put a tape together that will assure you of a high
- degree of success! This could be a whole tape by itself!
-
- Write offs! Running the business!
-
- Learn how to manage your business and manage your money while keeping Uncle
- Sam off your back! Oh yeah, he can be a client too! We'll tell you how!
