Another way to make some money with your vacation video footage is to trade services with businesses at your travel destination. We recently visited California’s Gold country and bartered some video services at a cute little wine pub in Volcano, California where I shot this video.
One of our business associates, Claudia Grant with Island Video, has wrangled a couple of great gigs doing this. Here’s the link to the video she shot while staying at the Tamarind Club resort in British Virgin Islands.
