Before I dive deeper into the show I want to thank RODE for being this weeks featured sponsor. \\xa0They just released a new accessory for the SmartLav and + called the SC1. \\xa0The SC1 is a 20 foot extension cable which will really come in handy when you need to stay behind the camera and monitor audio. \\xa0Be sure to check out everything RODE right here\\xa0http://bit.ly/1IYHITB

Flying solo this week has to be one of the most candid discussions I have had to date about business, marketing and branding on a RAWtalk. \\xa0I let you in on how I advertise on Facebook, what I target, how much I spend and the reasons for doing so. \\xa0Generally I don\\u2019t want the show to go almost two hours but the amount of solid questions this week lead us down that path. \\xa0In all honesty you don\\u2019t have to be a photographer to learn something about business, branding and marketing from this weeks Episode.\\xa0

I spent a good amount of time discussing Audio and Video Blocks a service that I have been paying for for almost two years now. \\xa0People have been wanting to know where do we get royalty FREE audio and video to use in our videos. \\xa0The answer is simple we use Audio Blocks and Video Blocks. \\xa0You can get a 7 day free trial by going here http://audioblocks.com/go/fro\\xa0for Audio Blocks and Here http://videoblocks.com/go/fro\\xa0for Video Blocks. \\xa0Both services go for $79 a month but if you sign up for the FREE trial than cancel your subscription they will send you an e mail with an offer for $99 a year for either service. \\xa0That\\u2019s exactly what I did when I signed up.
