26 Video Ideas: A to Z On How To Make Money With Video (page 3)

Memorials and Tributes
What more fitting tribute is there than a lovingly crafted video celebrating a well-lived life? Memorial videos are also valuable for group gatherings, such as high school reunions, as a way of honoring members who have passed on since the previous gatherings. Make contact with mortuaries that offer or would like to offer this service.

Neighborhood Activism
Video is a powerful way to explain and inform local residents about issues that affect them. Search for groups that share your point of view and offer your services to produce an advocacy video that can potentially make your local community a better place to live.

Open-houses
Local real estate can be a good market for the budding videographer. One benefit of working with such a high-ticket market is that diverting even a tiny fraction of the sales price into the production of a marketing video can mean a nice payday for you.

Plays, Recitals and Musical Performances
After weddings, these kinds of public events, particularly when they involve kids are probably the most videotaped events in our society. Even if many proud parents are carrying their own camcorders, there's always a market for a better quality video made by a skilled videographer.

Quilting and Crafts Classes
Quilting and other folk arts and crafts such as knitting, spinning and needlepoint have clubs all over the country. Document your local group's best techniques and make them available to others who want to learn the craft.

Résumés
Recruiters and employment specialists get a vast stream of resumes whenever they post a job notice. A growing number of job seekers are turning to video to break through the paper clutter and catch the eye of the decision-maker.

Safety Tips
If you've flown on an airliner recently, you may have noticed that they now use video to convey safety information to passengers. Schools, retirement homes and businesses all need to instruct people for safety. A simple safety video can make you a few bucks and maybe even save a life.
