Outsource Video Creation

Outsource Video Creation – How to Get Pro Videos Made

If you are on a budget and you need videos created, then this vlog is for you.

I am going to show you how you can outsource the video creation for your YouTube channel or for other purposes, without spending an arm and a leg.

Now, there are tons of different ways you can create videos or get videos created.

A lot of people invest tons in different equipment.

But that costs a lot of money and there’s a learning curve on how to use things.

I mean, I’ve got:

Gimbals
Little mics that clip into my iPhone
Portable tripods with a webcam
A ring light
Plus much more

It all adds up and each little tool or bit of equipment.

You’ve gotta learn how to use it.

Recording Your Screen

Now, depending on the kind of videos you want, you can record your screen.

I use Camtasia and Screencast-O-matic personally.

Both of them allow you also to have your little picture in the corner, which I’ve got for a lot of my own videos.

They also allow video editing to a certain degree.

But what if you want an actual person on the video, yet don’t want to be on the video yourself?

You’re going to have to outsource this.

It can get quite costly if you hire people from the United States or the UK or other English speaking countries.

But if you go further afield, you can find some good quality talent that is reasonably priced that can create the videos for you.

And that’s gonna save you a ton of time.

So what I like to do is use a site called Upwork.

You can create a free account and then you can log onto Upwork and you can post jobs.

From here, you can filter through the applicants to find somebody that’s right for you.

And of course, it’s not just video creation.

I’ve used Upwork to:

get software created
to get videos created
to get editing jobs
graphics jobs.

And it really is a fantastic resource, but you’ve gotta know how to use it, right?
