Episode #68 – Marketing, Marketing Marketing

Did I mention marketing? Last week, it was brought to my attention that I was a little light on the marketing, so I bulked up on it this week. See, I AM responsive!

To be honest, I do start out with a little surveillance question and I need you to help me out on this one. Please call the hotline at (206) 350-7400 and tell me what you think about it.

Now, marketing can be done a variety of ways but you always have to know who your clients are and what their needs are. Couple that with knowing yourself and your business and you’ll do just fine.

Oh yeah, and join your state association. Mine is CALI and I’m a proud member.

Curbside Investigator Vidcast #1

This is the vidcast that was supposed to start it all. It might seem a little redundant at this point, but I figured that since I’d already made it, I might as well post it. Let me know what you think and let me know if video works for you or if you’d prefer I stick with audio.

Episode #66 – Preaching the evils of pretexting

Scott gives a sermon on the evils (and blessings) of pretexting and how we as Private Investigators really need to know what we are doing. We also need to know what other PI’s are doing so we can save ourselves from them if need be.

The new Curbside Investigator Vidcast is mentioned as well. Check it out if you haven’t seen it already. There’s a flash player here or you can get it from the feed.

Episode #65 – Camcorders, software, hardware and more

There was a glut of questions this week about using camcorders with video editing software.  Lots of theories and opinion as well as fantastic information was shared by members of the CALI listserv.  If you aren’t a member, you are really missing out.  Scott responds to some of the questions and offers some expert advice and opinion about what type of software and hardware you should be using.
