Professionalizing Your Video

Professionalizing Your Video

We all know video is supposed to be queen of content and within the last few years this seems to have happened in the food world.

Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack of Muy Bueno Cookbook will walk us through finding, hiring, and working with a videographer; using virtual assistants to cook and record your recipes for you; and pitching videos to brands to recoup your investment.
