Making more How-to Videos,
I know it isn't the same as actually being there and teaching you one on
one, but I would be more than willing to produce many more How-to videos
over the course of this winter. My main problem has been time to do it
this past year since we have been super busy with restoring van after van,
and then getting our new website up and running. I have made a number of
videos already and they are available for free via Youtube. Just search
kenwilfy and you will find my channel. However I could do specifically
requested videos, etc. if folks were willing to donate some money for my
time. Youtube is really just an advertising tool for me and I do get some
new customers that way, however to take the time out of my day, set up a
job and have another person for the camera man, takes time, effort and
money. So let me know if any of you folks are interested in this. The
more people that would sign up, the less the cost to the individual. These
would be more in depth than the Youtube videos I do now and I would host
them on a server with better quality video playback as well (I always
record in HD). Or I could even mail hard copies to folks on DVD if that
would work better for their area.
Let me know what you want to do.
