@@CAROLINATONY Consider putting together a montage of your best videos you've done for footube and using that montage video as a sales tool to show to the head of the convention and visitors bureau of a municipality or county. Figure out ahead of time what you can charge to do a promotional video per fully produced minute for a CVB. Get somebody with a good announcers voice (have a male and a female you can use from a local radio station) voice. Buy a small music library so you've got some music to drop into the video at the right places. Give your production company a name and have some business cards made up and start cold calling CVB's say in a 100 mile radius of your home. Call the CVB in each county and find out from the receptionist who the decision maker is and whether the CVB has a video to promote itself to visitors. And call them back on a different day to get an appointment to see them. One of the great books I read a long time ago (late 1980s) was Harvey Mackay's "How to Swim With the Sharks Without Losing Your Shirt". Great sales technique teaching book. Carl White of "Life in the Carolinas" has essentially done that. He makes a good living producing 22 minute TV shows (and promotional videos) about different places in the Carolinas. I believe there's a market for someone else to start small and build a niche in that market. Just my experience, just my opinion.
The old Chronicle mill here in Belmont NC on Catawba street has changed in to condos, as well as retail space. The building stood empty for several years prior to this major undertaking. They've added parking on the back side. It's pretty much complete now
I did a video on the Loray Cotton mill in Gastonia NC. They had a murder out front during a labor strike. It is now businesses and condos. Inside they have old photographs from back in the early years
They should be made into low income housing instead of high dollar condos. you know. in honor of the community of people they paid very little to who worked their before they shut down and went outside the country where they could do even more workers even worse than they did these in this community. people cant say what they want. no love for the textile owners. these buildings should be torn down and no history kept of them except plaques honoring the workers who worked there.

Welcome back to Seneca!! Thanks Tony!! 😊 I truly love watching stories like this, makes me happy. I worked in Textiles over35 years!!
I went to look at some property there the other day. It didn't work out
My family sold 40 acres off our family farm for the construction of the Newry Mill back in the day!
Tony, the developer should pay you for this footage. It would make an excellent sales tool for the condos they are constructing. JMO
I only wish I could get this hobby to pay for itself.
