THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO COURSE OUT THERE!
This course is unlike any other out there. In video production, the one thing I never wanted to do was produce a professional video, hand it off to my client and say "good luck". I wanted to be able to provide them with a detailed strategy to help them successfully implement their video assets into their marketing. This course has enabled me to do that. My clients are getting amazing results using the knowledge I have gained from this course. In addition, TRDVSC has enabled me to look more big picture in the form of retainers and long term relationships with my clients. Using the tactics and information learned in this course, I have been able to generate nearly $50,000 for my business in the last 6 months. I could not recommend this course or this Real Deal community enough. Join. You will not be disappointed!
Lots of real life knowledge & lessons.
This course has given me and my business way more than I expected. I am glad that I decided to invest in myself by buying the RDVS course which has increased my knowledge exponentially and has given me access to a circle of peers that are experts in the video marketing industry and share their experiences and knowledge with us. I find this aspect to be one of the most valuable assets of this course. Entrepreneurship is not easy and being surrounded by the people that are part of this group is priceless!
This course is a waste of time and money
This course in my opinion is a waste of money. My name is Jacob Perkins and I’m the owner of a video production company here in Austin, TX. I bought this course because it was highly recommended from another video Facebook course I’m in.
At first The tools presented made the course a gold mine. I think overall there are 3 helpful websites tools in this course. Then it spends a lot the course encouraging you to make money running ads. There is a 20 minute section on joining a local business group. 3/4 of the course walks you through how to run ads on social media.
The problem I have with this course is it paints itself as because of this course people are closing 900k jobs. But it’s misleading for reasons. There is no checks and balances, it’s titled to benefit the groups marketing.
I found this course to be a waste of money. I bought it November 2021 and I reached out to the owner December 2021 saying I was not a happy customer. Instead of refunding me they took my money and ran. I’m writing this review because they run a lot of misleading ads and I think it’s important and actual testimony tells you you can learn this stuff on YouTube for free. This course is worth $100 if anything.

Reply from The Real Deal Video Strategist Club
Cannot put into words how helpful this course is.
I've been in the course for about 3 months and I've closed my biggest deal ever, and then broke that the same month with a bigger deal.
And my client pipeline is fuller than it's ever been. I honestly never saw it being how healthy it is. TRDVSC is the Real Deal.
This program really does pay for itself!
I knew I needed help on navigating the world of being a freelance videographer. To be honest I didn't know how to scale my business or even understand how to get clients to become repeat customers, I was genuinely at a loss.
It wasn't until I met and got to know the people that were already a part of this program that I started to realize this was something that could completely change my business. I saw the success that they were having with their own clients coming back for more videos as well as getting new business in their pipelines. This was all due to what they were learning in this program, I knew I had to see what it was all about for myself.
Within the first few weeks of going through this program I was able to see a full return on my investment by getting my first client. I was able to implement the video strategies, marketing tactics, and networking knowledge that both David & Mark were teaching throughout the course. This has all been truly a game changer to help not only encourage me to pursue bigger business but also learn from this amazing community that these guys have built.
I'm genuinely grateful that I found this program you should really check it out for yourself, you will not regret it!
Great Course AND Community
The course is great but I have to tell you, the community is even better!
I've been in video production for years but I was shifting my position from being just a videographer to adding marketing under my belt. I was figuring it out by myself but whenever you learn solo, it often takes longer, and truthfully, I wish I had joined the course earlier and it would've saved me some time figuring out a lot of the things by myself.
David and Mark were willing to help out and chat even before I joined and for them to take time out to help answer questions and all of that WITHOUT trying to sell me the course, that meant a lot.
Eventually I joined and the course and results speak for itself but the community, I have to say I've got to chat with some awesome folks pretty regularly to support one another, provide feedback and value on top of what David and Mark teaches and adds daily (responding to pretty much every post, taking the time to Zoom one-on-one to help, etc).
Great course and definitely great community!
Completely Changed How I View Video Production
Absolutely amazing! This course will flip what you thought you could do with video production upside. My whole career I've only been focused on becoming a better filmmaker and hoping that would bring me more clients. While that worked to an extent it did not get me anywhere close to where I wanted to be.
This class shows you how to provide value and get your clients results. That's what they truly want... a return on investment! Help them generate leads, increase sales, save time, and so much more!
This course is a game changer! I am so thankful that it exists and that I stumbled upon it. The teachers are amazing and the community is super supportive. This class/club is well worth the investment!
No brainer for anyone wanting to grow their video production company!
I run a video production company in the San Francisco Bay Area and although I was doing well enough to get by, I was struggling to break through and maintain clients in the markets and niches I wanted to be in. I knew my quality of work was good but I couldn’t figure out how to prove my value to clients besides the one-off videos here and there. I knew that marketing played a big role in how I could prove my “value” to land bigger projects but I didn’t want to be stuck doing that when all I really wanted to do was work behind the camera, that’s where this course came in. This course showed me how I can add value to myself in my video production and reach my goals in the markets and niches I wanted to be in through the strategies taught in this course. On top of that, the course also goes over how to start digital marketing on different platforms, what kind of conversation, meetings and pitches you should be having with potential clients, and how to continually grow your potential network with both in person and online methods.
After trying out other courses related to filmmaking and building your video production business, I can say that this course was exactly what I have been searching for and showed me how I can find success in my skill and passion of working behind the camera, not by needing to learn other skills and focusing on other skills that take me away from what I want to be doing like some other courses are. This course has heightened my confidence in what I am doing and has shown me a pathway achieving my goals to work with the type of clients I want to work with at price points I am happy at. To anyone considering this course, don’t make the mistake I did of not getting this course any sooner! If you are looking to grow your video production business and grow it in a way that allows you to still be able to focus on your passion in video production then this course is a no brainer for you, get the course and get to work!
One of the best courses
This course is truly amazing! I've tried a lot of other courses, but I found this one to truly be a gem. I learned so much that I hadn't ever learned in previous courses, and David and Mark are truly knowledgeable in what they teach. I highly recommend this investment.
This course was the single best…
This course was the single best investment I've made in my company. The mentality and mind shift that happens in amazing. The content is well thought out and the perspectives from real clients working with the founders of the course are amazing to watch. Everything is well structured and the community group is a great place to be and worth the investment alone. Don't hesitate. Just do it.
This course has been the best…
This course has been the best investment I've made this year!. I was one of the first people to buy the course in it's pilot stage, and I've been a part of the course & the community's growth, which both have been incredible. You will learn marketing, strategy, and the business side of video production. You will also have the community lite a fire under you to go a be successful.
Absolutely Incredible
This course is so much more than I ever could have asked for. The amount of useful information throughout the course is unbelievable. The format is great and easy to understand, the community is great, and I feel so much more confident and well equipped to sell video projects since purchasing this course.
One of the few course I would recommend!
This course is by far one of the few that I would definitely recommend to any videographer who is looking to level up their business. It really gives you a bigger understanding of the video business side that can help both you and your clients achieve the goals you set. Don't think twice about it, give it a shot!
The Best Video Course Ever
I've joined a lot of video production courses and this one is the only one that has made a strong financial impact in my life. For the longest time I could not see how I was going to make it into video production. I thought there was something wrong with me and people will only pay for people that are already heavily invested into video production. I was working at a job that was unfulfilling and didn't see the end of it. David, one of the course creators, hopped on the phone with me after seeing one of my posts in a Facebook group about a retainer based contract. We hopped on the phone and he answered all my questions (and still does.. best teacher ever).
Joined the course, and in less than 3 months I was able to land a $3,000 a month ongoing retainer deal with a local HVAC and plumbing company. Being able to finally not only talk to people about just a "video" but being able to have the business lingo to explain to business owners on how you can properly get them results with the video content you create. Having a distribution plan and showing the value of how video can work for their business will make almost any business owner write the BIG check.
The full price of the course is almost laughable, I was able to make the money back so fast and still continue to get insane value from it and has completely changed my mindset on how I approach selling video. Any doubts about buying the course can be crushed by chatting with the current students in Facebook Messenger and answering all your questions. If you're serious about selling video that makes a difference in your client's businesses then you need to enroll in this course. Learning content+distribution puts you ahead of the competition and you will never be second guessed and having to lower your price "race to the bottom" against all the other videographers. Leave that to the people on Fiverr.
Enough reading buy now. Insane insane insane value.
From Freelancer to Video Strategist...
This course has truly advanced my level of video production marketing for my clients. There are many videographers that are visionary and know how to create truly exceptional work, but very few know how to develop an actual video strategy that will grow their clients business! The Real Deal Video Strategy Club is the real deal. It advances your level of thinking as a freelance filmmaker and has the potential of developing you into a video strategist and your company into an actual video marketing agency.
This course was a game changer for…
This course was a game changer for taking me from being just a video creator to providing valuable marketing strategy for businesses. Within 12 days I landed my first many thousand dollar contract which I would not have had the confidence to set up before I had taken the course. Recommend it to anyone trying to find that missing link in regards to creating commercial videos for businesses.
A course for video creators that teaches marketing and business too
This course significantly changed the way we do business. It gave me a powerful way to talk with business owners, and caused a massive return on investment in just a week -- from the max charged for a single job being $3500, to the result of $15000 for a 6 week retainer. I highly recommend The Real Deal Video Strategist Club for anyone looking to grow a video production business.
Invest in yourself!
I cannot express how much being apart of TRDVSC has helped me in my journey as a filmmaker. There are plenty of courses that show you how to make a pretty video but they do not teach how to really show value and give your clients a real return on their investment from you based on strategy. I quit my 9-5 just one month in this course and never looked back! If 2020 has shown me anything its that you should ALWAYS bet on yourself! This course was worth it!
TRDVSC has been Phenomenal
TRDVSC has been phenomenal! Since joining the club, I have landed my biggest client yet! (5 figures) David and Mark have been super gracious and I have had several 1 on 1's with them.
The community is amazing as well and very supportive. If you are in the video commercial video industry, I believe this club is a must have for you!
So come on and join us, You won't be sorry!
This course is the real deal!
Not only does it tell you what kind of videos to make, but they give your the ways to distribute and we talk about the strategy on how to use each platform for our videos. They are always open to answer questions, host live Facebook and zoom calls, and always adding content to the course. This course is really the Real Deal for videographers!
