Within the subject heading of Hobbies, you will find “Models.” And, upon checking further, you will see 27 pages of special interest magazine titles covering every aspect of plastic, wood, metal and cloth fabric models from airplanes to trains.<br> <br> This valuable and expensive reference work comprises some 2600 pages of fine print listing the current title (and address information) of over 15,000 magazines, journals and newsletters looking for readers and advertisers.

A DVD that allows vendors to talk about their products and allows the viewer to attend a trade show from the comfort and luxury of their living room.<br> <br> The key idea here is to come up with a video project that would interest 400 people out of the 300,000,000 people in the United States. People interested enough to pay you $25 for the video. And $25 times 400 equals $10,000.<br> <br> If you don’t have an the necessary equipment to shoot and edit video, you can always hire a video production company (the metropolitan Yellow Pages has pages of video production companies) to do so. Usually less than $500 a day for one person and one camera for an 8 hour day.<br> <br> In the long run, you’ll find there is no substitute for self-education in learning for yourself how to perform the fundamental elements of shooting, editing and DVD duplication.<br> <br> Look for three fresh items each week from daily and weekly newspapers as you read them faithfully from cover to cover. Typically, in the </font> <b> <font face="Verdana" size="4"> Calendar</font></b> <font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000"> section you will find listing after listing of Comedy Clubs where up-and-coming comedians polish their material as they wait to hit it big. Community events such as robot wars involving competitions and displays. Community theater groups looking for audiences. And perhaps, the biggest section of all are the nightclub, bar and restaurant listings where local bands perform their sets seeking to impress the booking agents of bigger venues.<br> <br> Each of the above sections is a marketplace for the astute video entrepreneur looking for a niche.<br> <br> You also want to look specifically for the announcements about forthcoming community activities such as youth and adult athletic leagues, civic awards to community leaders as well as speaking engagements at local churches and civic groups.<br> <br> As you read and save these announcements into a binder, ask yourself ...”<b><i></i></b></font><b><i><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#0000FF">Would anybody in attendance be interested in buying a video of this event?</font></i></b><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000">”<br> <br> Pick up the phone and call the contact person listed in the announcement, introduce yourself as a video entrepreneur and “<i></i></font><i><b><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#0000FF">Are you looking to have this event video taped for those unable to attend?</font></b></i><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000">” And you could also “<i></i></font><i><b><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#0000FF">Would it be important to you to have this event video taped for future reference?</font></b></i><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000">”<br> <br> Do this faithfully for a period of weeks until you discover several money making concepts that interest you in making money with your camcorder.<br> <br> And then explore actually doing each one of the concepts ...whether it is taping the monthly meetings of your local Kiwani’s Club or taping the speaker giving a presentation at your local YMCA or the detailed restoration of a vintage car/truck/airplane.<br> <br> If you are reading this special report then you probably already have the basic ingredients of starting up your own video production company. You are financially ahead of the game if you already have a late model camcorder and late model computer. For less than $2,000, you can get a brand name digital camcorder, new desktop computer and quality video editing software.<br> <br> There are probably hundreds of different ways to make money with your camcorder.

To my amazement, yesterday on eBay I found a 43 minute video on learning how to make candles for fun or profit selling for $12. A video overflowing with useful tips on how to combine beeswax, wicks, color and scents into decorative candle for sale.<br> <br> The point of this is that if something interests you ... there are others interested in the same subject. Maybe hundreds. Maybe thousands. Perhaps millions just waiting to spend money on something that interests you and them.<br> <br> To set the tone of how some people are making money with camcorders, let me mention the following examples of how video entrepreneurs are making money by targeting a specific group of potential customers.<br> <br> As you read about the ideas presented, think of them as “<b></b></font><b><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#0000FF">idea starters</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000">” for coming up with your own unique idea to make money with your camcorder.</font> </p> <p> <font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#009900"><b>EXAMPLES OF MAKING MONEY WITH CAMCORDER</b></font><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000"><br> <br> 1. </font><font face="Verdana" size="4"> <u> <b> Steve Duff</b></u> </font><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="#FF0000"> ((<b>Life Capsule,</b> 6190 Amelia Drive, Cincinnati OH 45241-1312 info@lifecapsule.net)) video tapes and edits 80 minute life capsule trips down memory lane of family members and sells them for $375.
