Why advertisers steady Craigslist devalue the business of video work.
I am writing this because I am bonny disgusted at the ads I distinguish for video production personnel on Craigslist. However it is in sober earnest buyer beware on Craigslist. I be in actual possession of hired some good people but consider also had some really bad ones, like someone stealing my clients. You really have to chide these people out if you are going to use them on your crew. This blog does not express blame on Craigslist but condemns the advertisers that post ads on Craigslist to hire video professionals in our assiduity.I don’t know If I should cachinnate or cry when I see more of these posted ads by advertisers, that stand in need of to pay $250 for a pair day shoot or an ad I adage for an HD shooter for $125 by means of day. Most of the pro guys dress in’t use Craigslist because they be obliged established clients, but even for the dowdy that is just starting out or at the very time with someone with some experience this pay lamella is outrageous. These advertisers who are lacking to pay third world wages in our labor devalues our talent, creativity and running a succesful occupation. Video Production must have a scale, that is what diffirentiates us from uncle Harry with his camcorder that he purchased at Wal Mart or Best Buy. I without equivocation hope that no one is that lost beyond recovery to take these jobs at these rates and opprobrium on these advertisers that actually intend someone is going to give them a peculiarity product at these rates. We are not in the giddy food industry and don’t impediment us become that. Stand up since yourself and the industry and obstruction them know what the industry colors is which is usually $75 for hour and up. I hope these advertisers receive to read this and don’t behave toward our industry like the fast nourishment industry.Author:Victor Sieff has from one to another 18 years of experience in Video Production and is the owner of VS Video Productions in Denver, Colorado.
