A Word of Encouragement to Would-be Authors

  • T Myers writes:I know some of you are making really nice multi-balloon stuff. Do you plan to write instructions for sale? I’ve got people calling me asking for instructions to multi-balloon cartoon figures, to the airplane and the golf bag in Balloon Magic, to anything fancier than they know how to do.

    I know it is not a big market and writing a book is a pain when you are going to sell hundreds, not thousands. May I make a suggestion? Don’t write a book. Do an exploded view. Like an auto parts book. It could be one page or a poster size. It could be 9 letter pages laid out in a square or 4 legal size pages in a square. Just stick it in an envelope, don’t pay to bind a book. Keep the instructions to a minimum and the drawing to a maximum. Keep the production costs to a minimum and the information to a maximum. Don’t expect to sell it to beginners but make it accurate enough for a twister to figure out. Something like that could sell for $4 or $5 retail, $2 to $2.50 wholesale and would cost you $1 to make once you’ve made your original.

    One of these isn’t going to make you much money, but it shouldn’t cost you much to do and it will get your name out there. Besides, if you’ve got 1 new figure to show you probably have more. If you had 15 or 20 of these it could make a nice little extra income. You only have to do one at a time so it is a do-able project. Go ahead, do one every 2 months for the next 4 years. Just get started; your adoring fans are waiting.

    If you want to your instructions to sell, have something unique to offer.

    If the main goal is to get across information, the clearer and cleaner the media, the easier the communication. Being in order, making sense, being concise, with clean drawings, sound and/or visual makes communication easier. The more effort you put into being clear, the more effective your instructions will be.

    About books and cartoon characters: when you start getting complicated, it is so much easier to do a video than a book that there is not much in the way of books.

    I’ve got a book called “Want to Write a Balloon Book?” if you are interested in what I think about the self-written balloon book market. Topics I think would work are Christian Applications, Christmas (or any Holiday) Balloons, Extra Fancy Multi Balloon, Bits, Tricks and Routines, Stories using Balloons, Working Balloons, Hats, Etc. If you want to compare your publishing efforts look at Capt. Visual’s Big Book of Balloon Art and the Qualatex Books as the most professional approach. They are not self-written but they are examples of all around good books. T. Myers

  • balloon book illustrations: I’ve seen a variety of methods, (i.e. photos, computer drawings, hand drawings, ASCII, etc.) but am still unsure of which is “best”. Photos would be great, but is that the most cost effective way? How about computer drawings? What software would you use?
  • I am that rare breed, a balloon twister/illustrator. In my never-to-be-humble opinion, photos are best for showing the completed balloon, but not for the step-by-step process. It’s almost impossible to make out what’s going on in a photo, given the usually atrocious quality of the average book printing. I would recommend line-art illustrations. It doesn’t matter whether they’re drawn by hand or on a computer, as long as they’re clean. I wouldn’t try to do it with ASCII art, since that’s like trying to eat spaghetti with a hammer. You can do it, but it’s not easy or pretty.

A Word of Encouragement to Would-be Video Stars

  • So you think you have a lot of unique sculptures and would like to share them? Make and market a balloon twisting video.
  • [point] My first suggestion would be to WRITE A SCRIPT first. Know what you are going to say and do BEFORE you do it. Make a few home videos to see if what you are saying and doing are truly understandable. Also think about why other people would need your video. What is your video going to offer that no other video has? Are you just copying what is already out there?Have the video filmed with professional equipment. A home video is not good enough in my opinion. You could spend a lot of money and have a local videography company tape you or… Contact the local High School Media Department and see if the students want to take your tape on as a project. You could give them a percentage of the sales as a donation to the school or you could donate something that the school might need. When taping the video, make sure that the squeaking does not interfere with what you are saying. Also make sure that the camera gets close enough to actually see what you are doing. When it’s time to duplicate your master, I’m sure that the school will know of places to do that.
  • [counterpoint] If I tried to line out a script for each of my videos, I would “WRITE” the life out of what I wanted to accomplish. The videos I produce would not be what they are. I doubt that I would sell as many as I do if I started boxing my”SELF” in with a prescribed process. If you can afford to lay out the kind of $$$ that it takes to rent professional equipment, then go for it! I chose to go low budget and have 7 videos on the open market. I could not have gotten that many out if I had been renting top dollar equipment and the manpower to run it. If I had the $$$ to spare, I’d shoot Quality, too……….but I am pumping them out low budget, and folks are buying them, so it’s a question you’ll have to ask & answer for yourself. The schools out this way charge about 20% lower than the business community. That’s still way out of my ballpark.
  • Be sure and turn off all air, heat, and/or other things that have a low level droning. Rest assured that they will be picked up by the high “AND” low dollar equipment.
  • Shop around before you settle with anyone to duplicate your tapes. Get a good price, but be sure quality of service are included. Another mistake that will hurt you is % of bad tapes returned. One distributor even suggested a new company for me to go to because of too many returned tapes.
  • I would add only one other thing. Write a letter to or get on the phone to T.Myers. He sells more balloon entertainer related materials, I believe, than anyone in the world. In fact, I’d venture to guess, most of us who successfully put out balloon books and tapes, sell more to him than we do on our own. At least, I know that I do. Send him a home shot tape of you teaching something and ask him to critique it for saleability. If he thinks you have something to sell, you’ll know. He’ll incourage you if there’s $$$ to be made.
  • T Myers writes: If you want to your instructions to sell, have something unique to offer.If the main goal is to get across information, the clearer and cleaner the media, the easier the communication. Being in order, making sense, being concise, with clean drawings, sound and/or visual makes communication easier. The more effort you put into being clear, the more effective your instructions will be.

    This does not mean it has to be perfect to get your instructions across. Squeaking, sloppy camera work and going off subject or looking like family vacation movies make it harder to understand but the instructions can still come through. I try to honestly describe the item in the catalog and I’ll say if it is living room quality. A statment like that will not increase sales. But if I can also say, the figure is outrageously wonderful, sales will increase. In the end, it is the unique figure that is most important. You are not making a movie, you are trying to get across instructions.

    Putting together a video is kind of like approaching doing a kids show. You have to be everything. The Director, the Light Man, the Makeup Lady, the Writer, the Producer, Promotions, Camera, Editing, Props, Everything. The more effort you put into each area of expertise, the better you will do overall.

    If you are paying/requesting help or renting equipment, you want to know what you are going to do before the time clock starts. The more practice you put in the less time it will take in the studio and the less it will cost.

    Like doing a show, if you rely solely on your wit, you will have hours of mediocrity with minutes of inspriation. If you remember those moments over a couple of years, you can string them together into a reasonable show. I’d suggest the more planning and practicing you do the easier it is to identify and correct problem areas as they appear in performance.

    Because we are a niche, low $ market, it is difficult to pay professional help and stay within budget. I mark up books and videos “100%”. If a video sells for $30, I pay $15. New video sales may be from 100 to 400 in a year. Certainly not 1000’s. You can look into production and reproduction costs without actually spending money so you can start to make a guess about costs and sales.

    I’m interested in seeing any and all twisting videos. If you ask for a critique I’m happy to give my opinion.
