The best place to make real progress in building your Virtual Tour business: gaining knowledge & insights in an international success-oriented community of creators.
Ask by posting a question, by using the chat or hopping in our Gather to discuss on live on video instantly in the virtual coworking. The more you are willing to help others, the more help you might get back. We record quick screenrecordings to answer questions asked in post or chat, which is usually 10 times more efficient than answering by text.
Alternatively we host (paid) weekly office hours in which Ronald answers as many questions from the group as possible. As it is set in a group, you can also learn from other people.
Beside Roel & Ronald being from the Netherlands, we're currently with over 20 members from Germany, Greece, UK, Canada, US, Australia and South Africa. We're all in different timezones and try to be there for everyone. Most of our events take place around 4pm CET.
The beauty of an online community that has people from all over the world, is that we all think differently. We all have our own background, culture, believes and technical skills. Some various skillsets we have: DSLR shooting, drone experts, 3D rendering, 3D scanning, javascript coders, psychologists. And focussed on various industries: influencers, nursing homes, city marketing, virtual shops, architecture, art galleries.
Building responsive skins, implementing a CMS, applying dynamic designs etc. We've got you covered.
Share your screen, tell us what you stumble upon. Or ask the question in the forum space. Get a more in depth answer by an expert creating a screenrecording for you to really help you forward.
When you're building Virtual Tours for the hotel industry, it's nice to see how Virtual Tours are built for different industries, such as e.g. for schools. This can provide you with insights on how to upsell your own clients in new ways.
Maybe you're a pro shooting high resolution DSLR panoramas and your client is asking to create a 3D rendered space. It's nice to have some experts in the family that you can ask to do this for you!
It can be challenging to work alone as a freelancer or as the only employee in the company who understands the technical part of VT building. Sometimes you just need to speak out loud your situation to others to know what to do next.
Whether you're a beginner or an advanced tour creator, you can view the recorded workshops and all the other knowledge base items gathered over more than two years time.
It's easy to get into a negative mood, it's much harder to stay in the positive. We're not always positive, yet we focus on it as much as we can! :)
In our weekly office hours you can ask the expert in a group setting for help with challenges that you're facing. Feel free to share your screen or ask the expert to share his screen. Truly understanding what's going on and figuring out a way to either solve or guide you into the right direction.
If you're building Virtual Tours for the hotel industry, it's nice to see how Virtual Tours are built for other industries, such as for schools. In which you can suddenly figure out those cool addons to upsel your own clients.
In our virtual coworking space you can just be, without necessary talking. Work on your 3DVista project or focus on your admin stuff. And when you'd like, you can walk towards other Leap8 members to start a conversation. It creates the space for informal talk, just like at the office grabbing a coffee.
Whether you're a beginner or an advanced tour builder, you can watch back the recorded workshops and all the other knowledge base items gathered over more than two years time.
Some of our Leap8 Pro members like to outsource more work than they have, others like to take on those jobs. As we're meeting each other regularly.
Asking your question when there's no event happening or nobody is present in the virtual coworking space.
With our own unique superpowers, we believe that we can push virtual tours to the next level together by consistently showing up and helping each other in the creative VT pro community. We both love automations!
Ronald is the extraverted talker who likes to host meetings and connect people together. He loves explaining new exciting concepts towards groups of people. Beside 3DVista, he loves Airtable, automations and other no-code tools.
Roel is the introverted backend guy who likes to create new exciting concepts. Creating a super fast and easy to use hosting solution that is dedicated for Virtual Tours or compressing 360videos to the extremes that it gets smaller than most 360photos.
