A few weeks ago, we posted "Seeking Producers of Video Explanations" and wrote:
We see an opportunity for a win-win. Every day, we receive multiple emails from organizations that are looking for custom explanatory videos... The opportunity we see is to create a way, through our website, to help organizations find video producers who can be hired to produce custom videos.
Since that time, we've been working on a project to bring this idea to life. It's called the Common Craft Explainer Network and as of today, it is live. The basic idea is anyone looking for custom video producers will be pointed to our Explainer Network members. These members pay a fee to be listed in the Network.
We're hoping that this is actually a win-win-win. Organizations find talented producers for custom videos, producers find solid projects and build their businesses, and we earn a bit of income for providing the service. We have a handful of initial members and we expect the Network to grow modestly over time.
We've said for over a year that there is a market for explanations. Our hope is that the Network will become a reliable source for finding a great group of producers that can serve the growing demand we see for explanatory videos.
