You had me at "Burrito fart."


Does anyone know where that parallel universe is, the one where if something sounds too good to be true, then you should totally go for it?

If you liked the "Burrito Fart" part- you'll love what I just added to that previous post. lol

Alright so only one person has said they got a bit of work from them; and they are rapidly trying to get every person in America with a video camera under the non-compete...

Here is the clause :"7. Non Competition. In consideration for comapny's disclosure of confidential information to recipient , recipient hereby covenants and agrees that during the term of this agreeement and for the period of three years thereafter recipient will not except as authorized in writing by company whether as principal, partner, shareholder,agent, officer, employee or consultant of any entitiy, directly or inderectly carry on or engage in the business of desiging developing, making, testing, distributing, promoting, marketing, selling or implementing any products or services that compete with comapny's streaming video products and services."

I just quickly typed that out, If anyone still wants to see the paperwork they send you I can scan it in when I go to the office monday. If anyone is interested.

The only thing that made it tempting was that trying to get the local real estate agents on board for an independent venture was like trying to get blood from a stone

"We invest 150,000 a year into advertising, and we really cant see how investing a hundred dollars into actually showing people our homes could possibly pay off" or "We got calls from Chicago about doing this and whatnot, but we think another page or five of yellow page adds is a better use of our money"

Does anyone have any advice for actually trying to get some of the least tech savvy or out of the box thinkers on the planet on board for streaming video

(these “professionals” had websites sooo wonderful, their animated blinking .GIFS, uncompressed .bmp images and terrible html actually crashed my browser; I didn’t know that was possible!) With that call I also said would you be interested in a professional web design, and then they said "Oh no we just did our site and we are very happy with it"

I should have bookmarked it, it had all the beauty of a crashing plane.

Edit: Here it is; they seem to have fixed it somewhat, it doesn’t try and run odd JavaScript popups so it doesn’t crash my site, the .bmp files are now .jpg but still, this is what I’m working with in my area www.lakeshorebhg.com

Nice, all I saw was some tacky background with a couple of links at the bottom. One bright red one and one bright blue one. Wow, they must have spent a whole $1.95 on that web site, it's so well thought out and attractive. If they still rely on the yellow pages for the bulk of their referrals then they aren't doing very well. Word of mouth is where it's at but they apparently don't have any satisfied customers.
Real Estate agencies are notoriously CHEAP! My aunt is an agent in NC and I spoke to her about this a long time ago (why they don't shoot the houses they rep) but nobody wants to pay for it. Kind of ridiculous considering the commissions they earn. They would rather spend it on tacky business cards with everybody's photo on it (like I give a shit what they look like) and stupid note pads and refrigerator magnets. Oooh, I'll bet the ROI for those is high.

To expound on the “Non Competition... for the period of three years... directly or indirectly carry on or engage in the business of designing developing, making, testing, distributing, promoting, marketing, selling or implementing any products or services that compete with company’s streaming video products and services."

This is the SHORT list.

You can’t work for realtors, time shares, vacations, etc.

You can’t do video work for Veterinarians, pet suppliers, pet stores, groomers, breeders, etc.

You can’t work for restaurants, bars, chefs, culinary schools, wineries, kitchen tools, appliances, etc.

You can’t work for dealerships, repair shops, tire companies, designers, auto parts stores, etc.

You can’t work for graphic design, computer repair, parts and sails, retail, internet providers, software developers, etc.

Salons and spas, massage therapists, barbershops, exercise equipment, skin products, yoga instruction.

Hotels, car rental companies, amusement parks, airlines, tour companies

Small business owners, doctors, lawyers, dentists, CPAs, home businesses, banks, lenders, etc

You are effectively forbidden for using YOUR EQUIPMENT AND EXPERTISE for anything but weddings or films for three years!

Normal “Non Compete” clauses say you can’t steal their customers and clients that they introduced you to and undercut them. Which is perfectly reasonable for a larger company to do. They don’t say you are out of the industry for three years no matter what.

Now in the friendly text at the start of the document it says (im going to type it quickly for meaning, not good copy) "This nodisclosure restricts you from only the Type of work and clients we send you, for example if we ask you to work with ABC car dealer and he asks you to create a professional 30 seccond TV commercial or corporate video we would encourage you to accept the job, however if its one to five minute streaming video from the client we send you it would fall withoin the non-compete agreement"

And below that it says you need to send it back ASAP!

That is friendly text, and not part of the contract, It is also not what I have interpreted the contract to outright say, it says I cant do streaming video from anyone from "ABC's profession. not just "ABC"

ABC's profession being anyone in that list above.

Edit: the tricky part being; that little friendly example is perfectly valid and honest; Under that agreement I could do a commercial for them... it just doesnt also say if XYZ car company approached me without ever having heard of GoLookInside and said "I would like a 3 minute streaming video on my site" I couldnt do it, simply because golookinside claims that if I do any streaming videos it is competition.

I do believe I am quite glad I didn't sign up or get involved.

What I do not have? Any real business sense!

What do I not know? All this legal stuff!

Sometimes being lazy pays off. Because of the diligent work you guys did, I shall now resolve not to get involved with these people. I thank you.

It's hard to believe that this thread about these con artists and their shill, is still alive! We all have WAY to much free time on our hands...:)

Same person or company?
 

I saw this post on another production board and then I saw the name Skye in the first post on this thread. They are both in Indiana and both don't sound all that realistic about rates and what their product is or would be, especially for what they're paying. Is this the same person initially described? This was posted on 4.3.05 on that production board. Check out the rates and what they expect for them.

The Post

"INDEPENDENT VIDEOGRAPHERS (GoLookInside.com) GoLookInside.com, is the world's largest streaming video production company. We employ over 2,500 videographers in 15 countries. Our business model is very simple. For $199 we send a videographer to our client's location. Tape our client on-camera in a short "web commercial" then add music and titles and host on our servers for a year. If our clients they don't have a web site, we offer a customizable, interactive Site for only $50. No design or maintenance fees. They get email and language translations service as well. Our clients include any person or company who wants to work with a professional videographer for 45 minutes. This can include: restaurants, hotels, spas, hair salons, shoe stores, Mary Kay reps, bands, Realtors, etc. Overtime or 'a la carte' fees are paid directly to the videographer at the time of service. This includes $25 per 15 minutes of overtime and $25 per DVD. GoLookInside.com pays you $100 for every completed video every Friday via direct deposit. These are basic shoots. Nine tripod setups at a home and seven at a commercial property. Editing is about 12-15 edits. We provide licensed music. Graphics would include the client's logo on full screen at the beginning and end of the video. Titles include the name and phone number in the body of the package. Videos run 60 - 90 seconds...they should be shot like a news package or a one-minute TV commercial. You must own a 3CCD camera, light on a stand, wireless mic and tripod. We do perform criminal background checks. Our client's log onto our web site, enter the location info and zip. Based on zip code, we know which videographers are available. The client sees a Profile Page of each videographer and can choose who they want to work with. We call you and you set up the shoot according to your schedule. After taping, turnaround time is 48 hours. Your personal page includes, bio, photo, streaming samples and your web site link. If you don't have a web site, we can provide one to you. Check out our company FAQ and demos at www.GoLookInside.com. If you wish to join our network....from our home page, click on the guy with the stedicam in the bottom right corner...and fill out the info page. You will then get a series of emails with more information and a PIN to your account. If you have questions you can email me at Skye@GoLookInside.com We expect to start shooting in three weeks and ramp up to 2-7 videos per day, per videographer by September."

She had a post on craigslist too.

Have you guys seen the samples they put on their site, they are just horrible, you think they would be able to produce something bettter then that.

I've been doing tours for a while now, if you guys would take a couple of minutes to check it out and comment on the videos I would appreciate. The site is new I just wrote it a couple of days ago, so it's not 100 percent complete yet.

Thanks,

Here we go again.....
 

www.atlanta.craigslist.org/tfr/69699671.html


"GoLookInside.com is in need of experienced independent videographers with their own equipment. GoLookInside.com is the world's largest streaming video production company. We employ 2,500 videographers around the world.

Our business model is simple. For $199 we send a professional videographer to our client's location for 45 minutes. We tape the client on-camera in a "Web Commercial" then edit, add titles and music, and host the video on our servers for one year.

If the client doesn't have a web site, we offer a customizable, interactive Site for $50. No design or monthly maintenance fees. It includes email, language translation and domain name.

So, for $249 our client's can buy a custom video and custom web site.

Here's the breakdown. Of the $199, we pay the videographer $100 plus all 'a la carte' fees. An 'a la carte' fee includes, overtime - $25 per 15 minutes after the initial 45 minutes. $25 for a DVD. Clients are limited to nine tripod setups at a house and seven in a retail facility. We pay you every Friday. Clients pay 'a la carte' at the time of the shoot.

How it works: Clients log onto our Web Site, enter the location address, and zip code. Now we know which videographers are available. The clients' view Personal Profiles of the videographers and they choose who they’d like to work with. We call the videographer and he/she sets the appointment… based on their schedule. (This gives you flexibility in scheduling) After you tape, you have a 48-hour turnaround. We require you to shoot, perform BASIC editing. It'll look something like a full screen graphic of their logo, page turn, client on-camera in a wide shot standup, approx. 11 - 15 total shots with half-second dissolves, full screen graphic again and our animation. Total time: 60-90 seconds. You will FTP the finished product in an MPEG 2 format.

We know scripts are important and many times, clients aren’t prepared when you arrive. So, we’ve hired hundreds of writers who’ll proof the client’s work, rewrite it to a 60-90 second video, then send the completed script back to the client and to you. This allows you to stay on time and shoot more videos! The service is free to the client, so we expect they’ll take advantage of it.

You must own a 3CCD camera, light on a stand, wireless mic,tripod and be able to edit. All of this equipment is MANDATORY. We don’t allow hardwire mics instead of wireless, we don’t allow camera-mounted lights and yes,… we CAN tell the difference! We’re talking $300 to $700 per day, everyday around September and a slightly more limited basis before then…so, we expect you to be a professional and have the required gear. Also, we do perform criminal background checks. And, you must guarantee your work.

Who are our client's? Anyone and everyone who wants to hire a professional videographer. This can include: Realtors, restaurants, hotels, dog groomers, spas, bands, churches, and boutiques...everything... Look at your phone book...those are our clients!

For our $99, we find the work and send it to you. Manage all payments and accounting, marketing, advertising, memberships to organizations, trade shows, servers, payroll, merchant service fees, licensed music, professional services like lawyers, CPAs, encoding equipment, overhead, etc.

We give you a personal page which you can upload your BIO, photo, link your web site to ours, and stream your video samples. If you don't have a web site, we can provide you with one at no charge.

When you can begin: Most likely in May. We feel you will have limited number of jobs to start with (depends on your personal page...you’ll want to get it built ASAP) if you're talented and clients like you, you can shoot 2-7 jobs per day by end of August or September (possibly before). This is not a job for beginners! And, yes…if you can shoot and are professional – You WILL get work.

Go to www.GoLookInside.com to apply. Click on the videographer on the home page and fill out the videographer questionnaire. You will then receive an email giving you access to the videographer’s information section. You will be asked for personal information. So, please check us out…We are listed on Dun and Bradstreet, the financial who’s who in the US. We also employ ADP payroll company to pay you weekly…believe me, they did a pretty thorough check of our company since we’re talking about serious money! And, our attorney, Ron Elberger is one of the best. http://boselaw.com/AtyTemplate.asp?ID=19 His client’s include David Letterman, Emmis Broadcasting and Michael Jackson.

Here’s what we will ask for…and we need it immediately since we begin work May 2nd.

We NEVER sell any information. We are privately held, with no partners or investors... so, no one sees your information. Clients only see what you post on your Personal Page. Please visit our web site at www.GoLookInside.com and read the FAQ and "Order Now" page for more information.

Sorry, we're receiving an amazing amount of info right now, so if you ABSOLUTELY have a question and need to talk with me you can email me at
Skye@GoLookInside.com Please DON'T SEND ME YOUR RESUME AND DEMO REEL, I won't open it. We'll see it on your personal info page.

Web Site - www.GoLookInside.com My phone (but only if absolutely necessary please!) Skye 317-581-1766 We are getting ready for the wave of business we are about to receive. That's why this is so detailed. Please read our FAQ and Order Now forms to see what we tell our clients.
*Yes, are working now, but with limited numbers of clients...we are in the process of signing deals with HUGE companies
*Yes...We need videographers EVERYWHERE.
*Yes, I CAN get you work if you are good with a camera!
www.GoLookInside.com Look here before you call me!
Thanks for your time!"

well, that sounds somewhat better than before. However, we all know everything takes longer than it should, and I estimate they'll be paying out the ass with the overtime. 45 minutes? Whatever! I'll wait it out. All you rich people get back to me, then I'll sign up.

You know, I'm really starting to feel that we should keep this "Helping Hands" forum limited to DV Info Net members seeking other members.

I've just about had it with this thread; don't expect it to last much longer. The only question is where to put it... "Taking Care of Business" will be the most likely forum for its ultimate destination.

I'm with ya, but can't we keep it around for the fun factor?

I think Bruce summed it up pretty well last February:

Will someone please transfer this thread to the gun and ammo forum, where it can be shot properly once and for all time?

How about area 51 for this thread? Sounds right to me.

Yep. It's kind of......well......beaten to death. I posted that recent update just to provide the latest activity. Some of those claims just seem unrealistic and with all of the related posts and experiences with this organization, it seems like it needs to be monitored.

Besides, if you bury this thread, you just know someone new will join in a month, and say "I just found these people looking to hire videographers everywhere! Are they for real???"

Then it starts all over again...

it wasnt only atlanta
 

James:

Their solicitation apparantly went out on all the craigslist.org boards it hit the Santa Barbara, CA board also, its funny how the job also started in May here in SB....thank god Ive already sent my info to the bank in Nigeria that is representing my deceased relative who apparantly worked in the oil industry and no longer need to work.

M

Wow
 

First off, I would like to say that I am not here to promote my company.

I know many of you want this topic to die, but I do want to enter some thoughts from us before it does. I apologize to those who are tired of this.

I represent the company under fire in this topic. I am Very impressed at the thorough investigation by the users of this forum. I regret not seeing this topic earlier, as I would have loved to discuss this with everyone. (I just found this on Google)

You guys were correct, Skye's husband does work for Fox and they have a lovely home in Indiana. The address and phone number you posted on the form was correct, and is posted on our website.

I have a great deal of respect for you guys and I completely understand the posts on this forum. We have received a great response as a whole from your community, and we will never and have never scammed anyone. We put our real address for everyone to see and as you know Skye's husband is a public figure. We welcome your calls and concerns, and we can provide you with references from some big companies.

We do not take any money from our videographers, we only pay them. We use ADP to pay our videographers and we will provide you with a contact there if you want to verify this. Every videographer who has done work with us has received payment, and we have paid videographers who we sent out who did bad work, we just didn't use them again or fixed the problem.

We did hit some roadblocks in our launch, which required us to push back our release for a few months. We have pushed through that barrier and have recently reworked our entire backend systems.

As far as the price, we understand this may be too low for some people. We do not intend for a videographer who works full time and would have to give up work to shoot for us. We are targetting videographers who have the great equipment, but are doing weekend work or events that may not take up the full week. We have a great zip code tracking system, so you can choose to only do shoots within 10 miles of your location. This means, you can
get to and from a shoot pretty quick, spend 1 hour on location and get home. We require very little editing and we have you FTP the video to us.

The non-compete contract is not as restrictive as some of the posts here said. The first part of the non-compete only deals with clients We send you. We simply want the clients we send you to have their repeat business done through us for similar work. If a client we send you wants a video outside the realm of a $199 video, you are free to do whatever you want with them. Any client you get on your own, even if it is a video like what we do, will remain yours and we Never want to restrict your business. The second part deals with companies like GoLookInside.com, National video production And streaming companies out there. At this point in time, I am not away of a single company out there like ours. So this part of the non-compete currently doesn't come into play. By saying a company like ours, I mean a company that has a set price and contracts videographers
to do shoots Nationwide and the company also does the streaming/marketing/encoding etc. We really try
to be fair here and really just want business we get to stay with us, thats all.

Like I said, I am not here to promote the company. I understand I will probably get "flamed" but Skye and I really do have good intentions. We are currently working with a Fortune 100 company in 3 states and plan to release nationwide with them in the near future. We do have videos on Realtor.com
and we are doing a decent amount of business at this time. We are not at the point we initially intended to be at this time, but we are growing pretty quick now. Contracts and partnerships took longer than we hoped,
but we are pleased with the response from businesses and we believe we are still on our way to becoming a big force in this industry.

Each videographer who signs up is given a profile page that is viewed by potential customers. These pages are controlled by a real-time backend that you can change 24/7. Our demo profile is at
http://www.golookinside.com/videogra...?g=1261&h=1012

I do not want to anger the forum admins more with this post getting any bigger, so you are welcome to email me at reggie@golookinside.com and I would love to chat with you about any concerns.

We do not take any money from you and we do not need much info from you to get started. ADP requires certain information that some people may not want to give us, so we offer to pay you via personal checks from us for the first few jobs to earn your trust. However, to get started we do ask to complete the personal profile and show us demo work so we can see that you do good work. Obviously, for $199 we don't ask too much from our videographers. 1 Light kit, tripod , mic and a small amount of editing (music and intro-text). We also do bulk shoots, where a company like a broker, may schedule 5-6 personal profile videos to be shot in a day and you can walk away with a decent amount of money.

I am not trying to say you will become rich quick and have business the moment you sign up.. We are sorry if we have given some people the impression we are a get-rich-quick kind of company. We can give videographers some extra work during the week at their conveinance with reasonable expectations. In the future, I do envision videographers shooting full-time for us, especially if they do good work. We are doing the best we can to get business and we are releasing a load of press/marketing campaigns in the near future. We have a great source of funding and
do not intend to die off like some of the other companies out there.

I appreciate any and all thoughts on this, and again I do not wish to upset anyone over this. You may reach me at reggie@golookinside.com

Thanks,
Reggie Renner

Michel,
You sent what to where?. I am not spoiling the name of the country but please please please never send any Bank Information to anyone you don't know in Nigeria.

There are emails flying over the place someone claiming money here and there. They are all scams.

Relax Eniola, he's just kidding. He said that to downplay the original subject. If you want to learn more about the Nigerian scams and laugh very hard, just visit this site.

is a good one too.

Whew!. I would have cried for he/she men!.

Is this a legit business or not?


What is the final word?

Has anyone gotten a pay check from this company?

Ponder. Talk. Do.

If any of you want to shoot video tours, why not just go out and shoot them on your on. I have for over a year, and I'm a 21 (just turned 22) college kid. I shoot anywhere between 10-20 tours a week, I do all the taping, editing, web hosting, and design, and selling.

I'm not going to lie, it isn't the easiest to sell these tours, but if you are persistent on the realtors, they will soon see that it is 10x better then a virtual tour, and that these tours really work! I had a realtor call me the other day that said she sold a home to a couple from out of town only because they saw my tours. Wow, that's quite a compliment. This lady spent $75 on a home, and sold it and made $7500 (it was a $250,000 house @ 3%)

Now all you are griping saying I'm not shooting a tour for $75. Well my tours start at $75 for up to 2000 sq ft, and $25 per additional 1000 sq ft. The whole thing is on the pricing the realtors pick up the bill, not the broker or the real estate company. It's a hard task to convince the realtor that they need to spend the money on the tour. But once you do, they are hooked, because it works. And I am making good money. Most of my tours average around $100, but let's take the low and saw $75. So I make anywhere between $750 to $1500 a week, not bad for a college kid (and not bad for anyone) considering all my friends are making $6.50 an hour.

I think what the golookinside company is doing is fine, but I would never join, why join when you can be on you own. And I did talk to Sky a long time ago when this thread started, she seemed very nice, but she was asking me how I operated, and called me with a few questions. This just goes to show you that they don't have it all figured out quite yet, it's a business venture they are hoping works. Why not take the same venture on your own, and not be connected to anyone.

While I really hate to see this old thread get resurrected, I just have to tip my hat to you Todd. Wow... it's great to see someone who is so motivated and has developed such keen business sense at the age of 22!

Congratulations on the business you've started. I suspect you're going to be very successful in whatever you do after college. Keep up the good work!

I was looking though my old posts and saw this thread. Anything ever become of this? I remember a lot of discussion, but not a lot of results.

www.golookinside is still up and running, with a pretty decent website. www.yourgoldenopportunity has been bought by squatters. A pretty cheezy name anyway.

I decided it was sketchy and left it alone. It had that feel of being one of the 10,000 other things I've applied for where you're promised plenty of work, etc., and then they never ever ever call you.

Real Estate Videos
 

This is possibly a legit company. Another competitor that wasnt to have an "affiliate" network of videographers is http://www.realestatevideos.com They operate under a similar premise.

I have researched this segment of the real estate business because I am in the real estate video business. :-) How RealEstateVideos.com works is that they send you work if they get it, or you drum up your own. You get to use their name, stationary, business cards, etc. When you book a shoot, you get paid 1/2. 1/4 for the marketing effort, 1/4 for shooting the video. Then you send yoru raw DV tape back to them with a check for th remaining 1/2 of the fee. They do the edit and host the video on their servers.

Looks like this other company wants you to do more of the work, not that I would mind that. Te problem they will have it that their affiliates will not have a constant editing style. Each affiliate will cut and edit in their style so the vidoes might not look uniform.

NOTE: I don't work for either company. In fact, I hope to cut them out and get the real estate video business in my town. They both have advantages and disadvantages. One gives more control, the other allows you to have more free time.

If anyone has questions about this sort of business, send me a line.

Man... I thought this thread had died.

I keep hoping also...

Funny, I'm getting ready to sell my house right now. I have a great agent who did really well selling my last home, and they use still panoramic (QuickTime VR type) shots for web marketing. I asked her if she might ever have an interest in video tours and she said that it's possible, although her company (one of the largest agencies in this part of the US) hasn't used them before.

Then she suggested that I might want to make a video to help her sell my own place, and I laughed when I realized that this obvious thought had never even crossed my mind! So I'm gonna get started on it in the next few days, will probably draft my daughter and her boyfriend for roles as the romantic young couple in love with the place ;-) So this video might have the potential to make a lot of money for me if it can attract the right kind of buyer :-)

But seriously, I'm thinking that real estate is really a localized business and you might want to find out who some of the better agents are in your own area, then make personal contact with them instead of involving various middle-men.

That's why I revived it. :) Actually I was looking through my old posts, and since I have so few it didn't take long to hit this thread. I was just somewhat curious what the test of time had done to this project and if anyone here was involved.

Let it go man... Dying is natures way of thinning the threads ;)

I contacted these people a long time ago, and spoke to someone who promised to get back to me and never did. My feeling was that they are all smoke and mirrors, and don't actually have any paying business.
On another note, we did some videos for land investments that I have with a few other people (www.floridalandllc.com). After finishing these, I spoke to several realtors in those areas (a couple of whom we had bought property from), trying to interest them in this service. For the most part, these realtors are cheap, and lazy. They are terrified of spending anything more than $75 on surround photos. They're like flies on shite in a strong market,calling you constantly, but when times are tougher, and they actually have to WORK....well that's a different story.
Anyways, I gave up on real estate video (unless,like Boyd, it's to sell my own property).
Bruce Yarock

Nice sample
 

Todd,

Nice job on those tours. I like the angles. Are you using a .5 wide angle for your interior shots? I have shot mine with out any wide angle lenses. To compensate, I provide more angles for each room so the clients see the room from both ends. What camera are you using? I have been shooting using a Sony HDFX1 (borrowed from my associate). I am considering a purchase of the GL2 (with an adaptor like .8 or something) for real estate and wedding videos.

Did you write the flash on your site your self? Any how, your site looks very smooth and the videos are well done.

Square Pegs, Round Holes
 

As a Realtor and part-time videographer, I gave interior/exterior videos on high-dollar properties a try. The time cost was high, the yield low. The standard and panoramic stills give the customer what they want to see -- enough of the inside to get a feel for the style and interior appearance. IMHO, video has too much overhead and too little (if any) advantage over the 360-degree panoramas to be worth the time or the bandwidth required for delivery. Since houses are still subjects, they are well displayed by still photography. Video is just the wrong tool for inanimate subjects as houses tend to be. When they do move, it's newsworthy.

I think you guys are putting too much time into the video tours. When shooting I’m in the house 20 minutes top, and editing about 15 minutes. I use a GL2, wide angle lens, and a good tripod. This is not someone's wedding video it doesn't have to be perfect. Plus most people won't notice the little things that a videographer would.

Our tours are the same price as virtual tours with I think are horrible, and I would say every seller who sees my tours would agree that the virtual and panoramic tours are bad. When you look at a house in person you don't stand in the middle of the room and spin in a circle.

I have many testimonials from people saying they chose one company over the other based on whether or not the company used a video tour.

The main thing about video tours is they differentiate the realtor from the competition. Most of our realtors are getting more and more listings because they are going above and beyond by doing the tours.

If you are going to do video tours you need to be a business man first and a videographer second.
