Assuming you want to enter the video world – whether that be for vlogging, client work, or purely for the art – the following are a beginner's quick changes you can make today.

It's hard to beat the 9-5 when your entire family (immediate or otherwise) and friends (academically or professionally) stick to that jive. Why do I feel like I'm running in circles?!
