 Every day it feels like getting up to work on something that you know you want really badly. That feeling inside is my favorite part about being an entrepreneur. Roll Tape stands for real opportunities that lead to elevating the talents of artistic people every day. My name is Raheem Thompson and I'm the owner and CEO of RollTape.com. Roll Tape offers film and photography services as well as graphic design and video editing. This company started when I got my first camera from my dad. After starting to do a couple of shoots, it eventually snowballed into enough where I saved up and scaled up. I invested in a better camera. That camera opened up video opportunities. So we're going to be dancing in front of the rock. Today we arrived on set with Mufaka Works. The owner's name is Elsie. She's one of my favorite clients. She's always energetic. She's a community leader as well. Let me get set up here so you can see what I can see. I met with my team. We talked. I let them know what's going to be happening. And then we moved on to filming. You know, people started paying me insistently to come night over night to film events. Birthday shoots, graduation shoots were extremely popular for me. Then I eventually upgraded my equipment again. I started buying tripods. I got lighting equipment, sound equipment that really added to the value of the company. And I was able to grow from there. I mostly get new clients from word of mouth. My current client base are people that I've been working with over the past couple of years. And then as they share those type of videos with their audience, you know, that has the rotate branding on it. They might have tagged my business. They go to my page. And that's where I send them to the website. So my favorite GoDaddy tool to use has to be the appointment manager. It's extremely easy to use and easy to set up. I can take the deposit. I can schedule all the events. And that's something that has really helped my business. I'm a software developer, so during my day, I'll go ahead and do a lot of research. Legacy code that I have to upgrade and make better, more efficient, and then testing as well. Knowing that your code has your day job, why did you choose GoDaddy instead of just building your own website? GoDaddy's website builder, the functionality is, it's extremely usable. It was easy for me to get my ideas from in my head onto a website without worrying too much about margins or stuff like that. Some of the challenges that I faced while building the company was learning how to be a good business owner. There's a lot of paperwork involved. There's contracts. If I'm working with a client, I'm having a hard time or I don't know how to take the next step. I talked to my mom and she normally haven't answered for me. She's a huge help. My little brother, he recently has came in and just picked up a huge role. He knows exactly what I'm trying to do. You know, ever since we were young, he was always like filming stuff and it always was really interesting to me. So it's fitting that I'm continuing to help him. I define success as when preparation meets opportunity. There's been a lot of situations where if I wasn't prepared, if I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't have the experience. I wouldn't have been able to succeed or provide them exactly what they wanted. One of the things that I really want to accomplish with Rotape is getting a store somewhere that I can build a studio. I can sell my merchandise as well in the front of the store and incorporate that community aspect of being able to have events. And it would be awesome to host a training class for new photographers in the event space that I one day will own.
