Just got back from checking out the video. Great stuff!
It’s amazing you already had a deal within such a short time!
How many no’s did you have to go through to get that deal? I’m still in the no stage.
Thanks Sam, It’s hard to count how many nos, but I try to focus more on the yeses and I do expect the nos, so it’s no big deal to me. Out of the many nos, you will eventually get a yes and it’s right at the corner, keep at it Sam.
Great job on the video, Esi!
I know it can be nerve-wracking posting your first video for the whole blogosphere to see, but you didn’t seem nervous at all.
Keep up the great work!
Steph´s last blog ..Free Wholesaling Contracts- How to Fill Them Out Part Deux
Thanks Steph.
Oh yeah it quite nerve-wracking. It took me hours to go from filming to uploading. The first camcorder i used was not clear, so I had to rerecord with iflip the following day. Hopefully it won’t take so long next time. If I was in front of everyone I may have been nervous, but I was talking to a camera, so that is easy to do, lol. The hardest part which was shocking to me was editing the video down to 5 mins because I had a lot to say, but had to cut a lot of it out and still ended up with a little over 6 minutes. I’m looking forward to yours in a few weeks, I’m sure it will be great
Nice job on the video, Esi! It’s really cool to see your story on video, you seem really calm and relaxed. The fading in and out is a good effect. When it comes to video, I’m not much of a technical person so I may have to do mine all in one take!! (I think it’s the editing that takes so long to put together!) Thanks for sharing your video!
Thanks Rachel. I was talking to a camera that’s why, lol. I might not be quite as calm and relaxed in a room full of people even though I try to fake it. I actually didn’t create the fade effect, it’s built into my flip camera as a result of editing. I was actually pleasantly surprised when it turned out the way it did. Editing was challenging because I had to cut out a lot of stuff to fit into the 5 min time frame and still recorded over 6 min. Looking forward to seeing you on video soon.
Hey Esi,
That video was FANTASTIC….I am so glad I came across your blog. You are one of the main reasons that I have not given up on wholesaling. You are a role model to women and mothers. Keep doing your thing…Shoot for the stars. You were well spoken and very articulate. Kudos… Kat.
Thanks Kat, you are too kind. I’m glad my stories keep you motivated, and from convos we’ve had I know you can do it. Keep working hard and you will be rewarded for sure.
Hi, Esi.
You’re a cutie.
You look great. I don’t think I could be that clam and professional with a camera in front of me.
Congratulation on your first video!
P.S by the way where do you get your images ? you find some great images with your posts.
Thanks David *blushing*
I get some of my images from istockphoto.com and also google images is your friend.
Wow! Esi…you’ve been doing a great job since you started!
Keep doing it!!!! Proud of you, Girl!^_^
