Week 3
“Building a Fan Base”
Fans are key to a successful partnership in racing. I am sure that you can name several top-level drivers that are completely funded even though their on-track results are not of a championship level. Keep in mind that sponsorship/partners are looking for more than just a sticker on a car. In today’s world of technology, race teams can connect and interact with their fans instantly. This is what sponsors are looking for, but you need a large fan base to attract the right partner. The good news is that building a large following of loyal fans can be very inexpensive.

“Tips For Shooting Video With Your Phone”
Avoid Vertical Video Syndrome
TIP: We really cannot drive this point home enough. “Stop shooting vertical video” Don’t make the mistake of holding your phone vertically, that is to say up and down rather than sideways, while recording. Hold your phone horizontally so that videos played back on other screen (virtually everywhere) will look fine.
