Greets Bob!

Out of curiosity, how did that thing where the guy was ripping off your videos and selling them on Ebay turn out? I read the first part of it and was amazed that somebody thought they could get away with something like that. Ever think about doind a dvd compilation and marketing them yourself?

The HUGE amount of people that complained to Ebay and to the seller caused him to pull the videos he was selling. What a chump! Absolutly amazed me that someone would do that.

I was thinking of doing a DVD compilation but I dont have the time to burn DVD's myself and getting them pressed requires a buy of a large amount and up front money spent with no idea how well they will sell! So at this point I would prefer to just give them away
The downloadable ones are really low quality as I had to compress them for bandwidth and space reasons. My original masters are DVD quality. Maybe one day I will take a shot at making DVDs!

Thanks,
Bob

The EASY solution: http://www.customflix.com/Services/D...ndOverview.jsp cost to you $50 they print cut and ship the DVD's then cut you a check monthly.

I'd buy one. Then I might be able to actually watch a few without the phone ringing or some other distraction. I've always said this would be a great job if it wasnt for the customers always wanting something....

Anyway, welcome to the Freak!

Cool I checked that out a litte bit but what I didnt see was what your % of the deal is on a sale? I will poke around that site a little more but they should have some details about pricing, mark up, and profit.

It is not a percentage they charge a flat rate. You charge whatever you want and they take like $8 per. i.e. you sell the DVD for $28 they give you $20 per 1 sold.

Hmm I only was thinking of selling the thing for like $10.... I dont think my videos are that good to get even $19.95! I mean they certainly arent professional or anything..... $9 wont leave me much....

I will have to think about it but what do people think they are worth?

Oh and... I did not intend to turn this into a "help Bob make money" thread! It's not what I am about but if I can sell a few to those that dont have broadband or want DVDs, I am willing.... But I want it to be fair....

Bob

Hey Bob,

One of the guys that works with me lives out in El Segundo, beautiful area. I've been to Orange County and San Diego a few times on business travel.

BTW the vids have been extremely helpful, great job

BOB, its not the quality of your performance that they would be paying for , its your knoledge and ability to explains things so everybody can understand. Dont sell yourself short.
I'd buy a DVD quality one just so I dont have to sit at the computer to watch

Ditto on that. Alot of people are cluless of where to begin and even if you have been doing this for a while you will always learn something new.
Go for it and make some DVDs

falconea45,
Thanks and believe it or not I am kind of embarassed...... I will think about putting DVDs together but for now I prefer to just give them away for download! I am sure I am missing an opportunity but I like to teach so for now I will continue doing what I love..... Maybe later.....

Thanks!
Bob
