Yeah, that's definitely true. Although I don't have a way to prove it, I can promise that I will put a lot of effort into making the vlogs because I'm really inspired by Casey Neistat and have a dream of reaching that point of success and talent. So you have my word for it.


to be honest any cheap camera and/or phone camera will work,as i said,show your target demographic your photography and cinematic skill because other wise they wont donate anything,as they wont know what you're capable fam

I'm no photographer, heck I've never even asked anyone for a loan. I'm not that kind of person. But I agree with Loops here, if you showcase what you have to offer, you may have a better chance of getting what you want. Just sayin...

If by E-commercial you mean commercials on the internet then my advice to you is don't.

Because everyone fucking hates commercials.

@Loops and IgnusBurns, yup I've already shot a few clips of my recent trips which I'll be putting together soon. That should definitely help. Thanks for your comments!

I'm not advertising anything, technically. Commercial doesn't refer strictly to advertisments.

doesn't anything "commercial" basically mean it's business? Do you mean you're going to make a website that teaches something? "E-commercial business focusing on education" makes no sense to me honestly.

btw I probably have no advice, I just want to know whatever it is you're doing

Yes, it's an online business that educates. The initial target demographic will be children, though there are hopes to expand to other age demographics once a fan foundation has been set in place.

what are you going to be teaching?

Personally though I don't think children go on the internet to learn (unless it's a quick google I guess). Have you thought about targeting the parents instead of the children themselves?

Marketing will be towards parents, while the products themselves will be for kids. When you think of online education, like keystone or anything, you don't think the kids are the ones saying "I totally wanna do that!"

That said, it'll be a culinary program, teaching food safety, equipment handling, and of course a bunch of different recipes. I've been working on the concept two years, and it's moving through the financing stage before final development and release. Of course, financing is always going to be an issue for start-ups.
