Easiest Way to Start an Online Business

My name is Brandon, I am a 23 year old entrepreneur helping to buildChosenList.com, I stumbled across Young Entrepreneur Forums - An entrepreneurial and small business site and thought it would be an awesome opportunity to share a really cool way to start your own online business.

ChosenList.com, the first safe video online resource for classifieds, careers and communities, has launched the Certified Videographer Network or CVN as a way for entrepreneurs to build an entirely new business or just earn income by creating 30-60 second videos to post online using technology as simple as the RCA Small Wonder or Flip cameras that are less than $100 in the stores today.

This is 100% free and there is no cost to be involved.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Open up your local newspaper and check out the local classified ads. There are thousands of qualified leads all around us. Lets say someone is trying to sell their car in that paper. You can contact that individual, go shoot a 60 second video of that car, upload to the internet and charge $25-$50 for your service. Now that individual has a 60 second commercial online of their car to help them sell it and refer others to check out their video.

As the first "Certified Videographer" I had to test this idea out to make sure it worked and I was EASILY making $50-$100 an hour helping people get videos of their items online. Not everyone has a camera, internet access, the "know-how" or the even the time to upload a video online. Thats where you can come in. We have a few Certified Videographers making over $5,000 a month!

I encourage everyone to check out the website ChosenList.com. There are so many cool applications for this idea. Whether you just want to make some extra money or start your own company and have a group of people doing this. Maybe you just want to shoot videos of stuff you are interested in like off-road vehicles, technology items or antiques you can do whatever you want.

Our office is in the brand new ASU Skysong complex for technology and entrepreneurship. Which has been awesome! But we are expanding across the country with the CVN program and want others to get involved. If the website is not in your city yet just let me know and we can help get that started. We are also GIVING CAMERAS to "Chosen-preneurs" who are really hitting this full steam.

I look forward to chatting with everyone, answering questions and also hearing suggestions about cool new ways to apply this idea.

Feel free to email me at b.moore@chosenlist.com

We have had a lot of press recently and are growing rapidly just Google Chosenlist.com and check us out. We will also be featured on some local news here in Phoenix this weekend!

If you know anyone that might be interested let us know!

This is grand thinking on our part but: In a struggling economy this a true economic stimulus package! We want to create 2 million Certified Videographers in the next 24 months across the nation which is creating brand new jobs and income for individuals who wouldnt normally have had that opportunity. Others who sell their goods through this service and the site are also recieving money (economic stimulus) through what is essentially the recycling of the goods they sell.

Let me know if I'm off my rocker but I don't think we are too far off base here.

Not sure if we are talking the same lingo, but I NEED to make a video for my business to post on YouTube...is that what this does? If so, you may have a market outside of the classifieds.

Great idea. We definitely have categories for that as well. A lot of service professionals are posting videos of themselves like that (real estate agents, business brokers, financial advisors). So you can absolutely post a video of whatever your business offers. And you are already qualifying the people that see if because they already know what they are looking for when they make it to your video on ChosenList.com. Compared to posting it on YouTube you are kind of just out there floating in the middle of the ocean hoping someone is going to find you.

We also do lower cost employment ads. So if you are looking to hire employees instead of paying Jobing.com $4,800 for a 30 day employment video listing you can post a video employment ad of your business through ChosenList.com for $95. The most inexpensive text only ads with Jobing.com and Monster.com are $400.

85% of the emplyment in the U.S. is facilitated by small to medium businesses. Those types of businesses are not going to pay $400-$5000 to run an employment ad online. We are coming into the marketplace with disruptive pricing and there is an untapped market of small to medium businesses that can now utilize the internet to effectively find employees.

I know very little about much of the technical stuff. I'm not the tech team but I can find that out for you.
