If you've watched, studied and loved DIY shows for years, perhaps you would make a good director and producer. It's easy to get the bug, but how to actually make it happen?

The ability to share a process in pictures and teach people is a must, but so is the ability to see the project through from one end to the other. Once you have the basic tools and processes down, there doesn’t need to be hard work or long hours involved. This can be a fun and truly rewarding experience that you'll either talk about for years to come or actually set you off on a new career. After all, what could be more rewarding that helping others learn new skills?

This book will show you how to go from your unrealized dream of being a DIY show developer. We'll start of by showing you how to doing all the planning that will help your first DIY training project go off without a hitch and avoid some of the more common pitfalls that commonly plague first-time directors. Next, you'll get a look at the production itself, from how to keep your crew happy and productive (if you are enlisting help) to directing your team into giving the performance you've imagined. I’ll also show you how to truly DIY without any crew, so that you have full creative and production control while keeping your costs down. Lastly, your vision will truly come alive in the post-production process – this book will give you hints and tips for making the most of the footage you have.

It may surprise you that it doesn’t cost a lot of money to produce DIY videos that you can then sell online through established websites and ultimately make around $700 per hour of work. Just like the gold rush merchants in years past, you can move from the idea that you need huge crews to produce the best video to creating a MVP – minimal viable product – DIY style, so that you can make a living at your new craft.

Creating online training videos is a wonderful form of passive income where you put in the hard work up front and can expect to earn money for years to come.

The author, Monique Littlejohn has created several DIY online video tutorials on jewelry making, fundraising, and other topics, and has created a lucrative passive income stream.
