Hi I'm new to warrior forum and I'm looking for advice!
Hey Everyone!
My name is Coleman Reyna and I am very new to niche video marketing! As a matter of fact, I am actually an animator who creates the actual videos that sell. Before, I spent a few years freelancing as a traditional and digital artist, and I never saw the results I was looking for. Again, I am an artist, and I really had no idea how to run a business at all!
So one day (about a year ago) I found Odesk, and me being clueless, I had no idea that the site was generally for outsourcing. Well, with that being said, I began making videos for clients WAY under minimum wage, because I simply thought that my payments would go up with experience! Needless to say, they did not and I continued making next to nothing for what I consider some good animation if I don't say so myself!
Recently, I was approached on desk and was asked WHY I was working for so little, and I explained with the answer above.. Well, this is when I realized that I had no future working on odesk, and I left the site.
The person who got me off of odesk offered me to partner with him, and help him create these sets of video marketing videos. I animated ten different videos targeting ten different business niches. He has been teaching me the ins-and-outs of this process, so I now see how truly clueless I was! We just launched the first set of our videos, and they are successful so far... but I still need help from you guys!
I was referred to this forum to get help. Look, I am better educated than the freelancer I once was a few years back, but I feel like I still don't hardly know anything on the business end of my kind of work. I know After Effects like the back of my hand, and I can animate pretty well, but don't ask me to sell anything I make...because I can't!
And I have tried to do some own personal research, but I just get drowned in all the information provided, and even the stuff that I do find, it just goes right over my head.
So I guess, what I am asking for is someone to at least explain this niche business market to me in terms I can comprehend. I need to know the business end of my work, but it just seems like all this information is on the opposite side of the spectrum compared animation! I am just so lost, and I want to be good at this! Very badly! Because It is so frustrating working in a professional environment, and not knowing information that I should.
Anyways, so this is my story, and I currently just need help taking my next few steps. For anyone who has read this post through, I greatly appreciate it, and thank you so much in advance for any help or insight that you may give me. I can't wait to get started using this forum!
Thanks,
Coleman Reyna
