Video Creation for clients?

by nfb1204

I had a question about creating videos/commercials for clients. A while ago I had a bought a fiver from a guy who did videos. XXX

SO 2 days later went back to the guy and to do another one it he quadrupled the prices. You know once I include the voice over. SO does anyone have a person that can create little online videos. Not the testimonials cause they are on fiverr all day long but ones similar to what I did here:


He only sold one at the cheap price, then after that they have all been higher bought 3 before I decided maybe I need to find someone else. Any suggestions?

    Honestly those are really well done, I'm impressed. You get what you pay for and that's definitely quality for what you need it for. I think you should try to get into contact with this person outside of fiverr and try to get some bulk rates going. Once he knows the general idea of things you need, and that you will keep bringing him business, you'll have a nice relationship.

    Hey,
    I would look at outsourcing sites. Odesk and Frelancers are two off the top of my head. There are a lot of people who can create this type of video and you may be able to get a good deal. I am not so sure that you will be able to get it for $5, but you could get a good ROI. Just make sure that whoever you deal with has good feedback and has worked a good amount of hours and worked recently.
    Hope that helps

      I've been trying odesk this past week and a couple of those people I want to fly to where they are and punch them in the face!

      I had an email campaign where they were emailing offliners on craigslist no bites out of 200 emails not even a call back. Then I had a craigslist poster. Most of the posters want to charge $2 per live ad now. I don't know what's up with that.

        I have a CL campaign right now that is $1 per post. I have to provide the graphic or text, but he does the headline. Most of the headlines are catchy. I am not seeing much ROI at this point, but my site is for travel booking and I think I chose the wrong time of the year to try outsourcing ads, end of summer and all. If you are interested I can pm you his name. He posts at the time you want and he sends links to the ads daily.

        Sorry, meant to quote last comment and did not. I know this is about video creation and not CL ads

    I didn't know if I'm overpaying or not because he raised the price so drastically after the first one. From $5 or $10 to $95 is a big jump. I think is worth it but but if the client is only willing to pay $99 a month for local seo, this won't be in the cards for them.

    Travel doesn't work well with CL... but back to the main point, I have never seen videos like that on fiverr. Have you tried messaging him? Try to work something out.

    So I edited the post you guy because I just got a very lengthy PM from someone on here and they told me to stop whining, and resell the videos! Said I have a connect that no one else has because they guy never advertised this type of video and use it to my advantage. So look for a WSO or a classified soon. He told me to stop being a dummy and learn to market myself and possible services better.

      Yeah but you said yourself it's costing $95 now, you're not going to have very much profit from that on HERE. You're walking on a dangerous line with that. Whenever you use someone else to offer a WSO, or classified, you get people that are tire kickers and refunders, plus the $40 to post plus the war room membership..you don't have enough of a following to promote it. You also don't have the capability of having affiliates for something like that. Risk is high, reward is low. You would be a dummy trying to post a WSO for this!

        Thought about that, worked out a deal with the guy for a better price. Gonna try craigslist and sell for $100 and see if I get any bites.

          Personally, I think the video is well done. Better than some of the videos I've seen out there. If you position yourself right, you could sell it for considerably more than $100. Honestly, I'd aim to sell it for $247 to $297 instead. For a business that needs a professional video advertisement like that, that's still a low price.

            $95 is cheap. I work at a video production company and we would have sold the video you posted for a couple of hundred dollars bare minimum.

            It's sites like fiverr that devalue the market. The reason they sell you the first one cheap is to get you in their sales funnel. The first hit is free. The problem is, the customer doesn't know this, so they expect quality at a low price forever and end up making posts like this.

            This is why I quit doing video work on the warrior forum. It wasn't enough revenue to keep my lights on and I had to move to better markets who understand that quality cost money. I could never do work on fiverr as it just brings the entire market down.

              $95 is very cheap and it shows in the quality of the video. Quality videos run anywhere from $500 and up. Clients will pay for quality videos if they see the value and return on investment. This is where many videos fall short thus affecting the value and price.


              I recently created this video which is not promotional in nature but can be used as one. Notice the difference in quality and production value.
