"It's really easy to make friends when you are bringing something to their life instead of trying to take it away." You went from photographer to philosopher there in a serious way. Awesome advice for everything in life. Great video!
@@dalegreer3095 it's not just speed, it's also that people often dont know how to express their thoughts concisely and end up going in circles saying the same damn thing over and over and over.
you just compacted what people would talk about for an hour on a webinar into 8 minutes! Love the efficiency and amazing value. Keep up the great work and thanks for the tips!
This teaching never gets old.... Watched it 2 yrs ago. Then was scammed of my drone trying to sell it. And here I am with another drone and this tutoring is like new to me and refreshing
Lots of people joking/moaning about the speed. I think it’s ace, no filler or banging on for the sake of it! Straight to the point. Keep up the quality work 👍
thanks! I used to have a very niche following. It's called QuickAssTutorials no ModeratlyPacedAssTutorials. If a video gets popular though, more casual watchers come in to complain
I emailed my first business partner with the title promo for promo at the top of the email. Of course it came out as promo for porno on auto correct! They responded back with a "Nice ice breaker!" 😂
Great tips Alex, thanks! Another couple of ideas to try for promotion, some local TV stations will take submissions for "photo of the day" segments which usually air during the weather forecast. Also local government agencies may need a nice pic for their websites and print material. You won't get paid for this type of thing but it gets your name noticed. I recently had an image printed in a yearly calendar that my local representative sends out to his constituents.
@@samib3589 yep...those incredible vineyards along the lakeside around there..! I lived in St Prex, other side of Lausanne and Morges, for a few years. That little town is a trip!
@@samib3589 that's so cool, your reminding me of Aubonne - I went to the "Arboretum du Vallon d'Aubonne" several times, and rode my bike along the lake road, between St Prex and Geneva a number of times, passing through Aubonne and Rolle...and all the other lakeside towns - tons of awesome recollections. You'd sometimes catch glimpses of Mont Blanc both from the train and the road (they were, as you'll know) fairly close together at various points along there!
1:13 he nailed it "cause it doesn't take that long to listen to all this" my dude, your pronunciation is impeccable for the speed you talk, most people speaking that fast would be chewing on their tongue but you make the information so clear and so quickly, great stuff
I tend to do that too in German and usually I speak quite clearly but I often get comments like "I can't process all that information in that short amount of time that you needed to articulate it", lol.
I think the best point raised is to make friends with the people that have a bussines interrest in your work and basically just to help each other. Very nice advice.
I love you for doing this, man. Keeping it real! - Also I am glad you are putting more effort into your youtube presence (like taking the time to show yourself in the video).
Thank you for the video, I am a just a kid learning to do drone photography and because of this help I got a small job at a skim-boarding competition as a pilot there
@@aplus1080 Because the FAA regulates commercial activities in the national airspace, which drones fly in. It's stupid, but if you're Joe Blow the hobbyist, you don't need a license. The minute you use the drone to make money, you need a license and you have to follow a BUNCH of rules.
Really happy I continued to watch this video! I’m a retired combat wounded warrior that is looking for a new avenue of income. I have always been an avid photographer but only as a hobby. Wanted to get into Ariel drone photography but didn’t know where to begin. Looks like I stumbled into the where.
I've watched three or four of your videos. I love your style, and I think you give good advice. I'll try your advice, and you've got yourself a subscriber.
Got my subscription have an air2s just saw a guy who talked about using drone deploy to earn money definitely going to binge watch y’all’s videos thanks a lot
I swear hearing this dude is like when you’re driving with your girl and she has ten days worth to tell you all at once 😂😂😂 or just really high on red bull lmao
Wow you have no idea how much this helped me. I'm an amateur drone photographer and videographer. I do real estate so I've been doing a lot of homes and commercial properties. But my following kind of sucks. Using the photography to boost my Facebook following should help with converting some people over to me for interested in real Estate services. Thank you so very much
Also need quite a big investment to cover cost and fees of business, taxes, have the connections that have a market for you, or provide a foot in the door to a market. Wow, it's "so easy". Except if it was, it would be exploited already. These youboobers are boring.
Wow. You made Tempe AZ look amazing! And thats how I know you're a great photographer. Also, your advice is great and translates across nearly all businesses. Thank. you!
Hey Alex, thanks for the video. This was actually really inspiring. Can you please discuss more how much people should charge for licensing photos or video clips? Perhaps a price range. Thanks.
I'm hurt! One of the nice breaks I had was becoming marketing coordinator for an annual Carrot Fest. For real. It was already an established and popular event which made my tasks easier but yeah, not much scope or money in that, nor epic, cinenatic B roll.
thanks man , for showing your tools of the craft and how to succeed. Many bimbos in the comments that will remain poor. Very rare for someone advising how to make money in the same field.
I think it's like $.03 but i set bids up to .05, I've got a view rate of 2% for the impressions though. This is the first time i've done ads, but this was a video that was already doing really well on its own so that's the one i'm putting $2 a day behind since people were liking it already. That way I think the spend is worth it, but idk
That’s pretty good CPC. Sounds like maybe you just need some retargetting. But for your first Ad, goood job man. Subbed & Turned on Notifs to show support 👍🏻
Austria is strict on the drones, pretty much illegal anywhere, kind of sad as they have plenty of great scenery. Passed Hohenwerfen few days ago, also the filming location of Sound of Music
Great advice brother. Any advice for a professional doing this on the side? I'm an aero-engineer (UAV) picking this up on the side. I've had a gov't clearance for 24 years and I'm interested in expanding my potential marketplace. Any advice? I realize it's a niche market. Thanks in advance.
Glad you're making videos again I always liked yours a few years ago. Would love to hear more about your thoughts on there being a billion pAsIoNaTe videographers these days. Best bet to work in-house or freelancing still do able?

Question: If you are taking photos (or video) "for fun" and someone offers to buy a shot or a clip. Where does that leave you if you've not applied and tested for a commercial license?
@@thomasa.7759 While I recognize the levity and appreciate the humor in your comment, and recognized the partial sarcasm in my remark, in all seriousness it seems that there needs to be some actual guidelines for such circumstances. No matter what the situation or laws, there are always people who want to do end-runs around them. In reality, is there a difference if I were to do some aerial photography for my church for free, or if they paid me up front, or offered me money or waived congregation fees for doing the service after the fact? The other aspect is, when you indicate that you are a "officially licensed" drone photograher, the expectation of your due diligence increases and the category of liability insurance increases exponentially, probably no longer covered by a personal liability umbrella, whether you fly one mission or 100 missions for money. Just stuff to ponder.
@@GeroLubovnik the bottom line is this: if the drone photos/videos that you create are utilized in ANY way that could be considered to be "furthering a business" then you need an FAA Part 107 license. That means that even if you post videos to the UA-cam channel of a non-profit organization, you can be viewed by the FAA as furthering a business -- either the business of YOU (as a drone videographer) . . . OR the non-profit organization trying to recruit new members or advertise itself. Even the activities of a non-profit organization are divided up into "potential business" activities and "whatever *non-profit* actions" they perform . . . And the insurance question is also valid, there are places to buy insurance online -- just google it. Some of them break it down to the quarter hour, and you can have all kinds of different levels of liability AND damage insurance -- but they ALL require you to have a Part 107 license.
Thank you Alex for this info. This was a very informative video. I am very new to drones but I am fascinated with it. For me I'm not looking to become rich or anything, I just think it would be a fun hobby and perhaps it will grow into something more. Since I'm starting out, I am limited on funds so I could only afford a lower costing drone, a Holy Stone HS720E. I'm hoping since it has 4k quality video and pictures, that I can still produce some good content. I'm hoping I can maybe some how produce some funds and get a higher quality drone. With this said, is it possible to create good content with the current drone I have. I'm very new to photography and videos so I feel like I have much to learn still. Any advice would be great. Thanks a bunch! Brandon
You know what, you sound like a really nice chilled guy, and I like that you get straight to the point, and I'm glad you don't charge to teach like others do if you wanted to learn something, I really appreciate that, you have a new subscriber
Depends on the regulations of the country you life in. Since you show Neuschwanstein Castle, in Germany you need to have an Air Modelflight ID (I think since 2018), Insurance and if you work commercial also a license, plus an agreement for air photography. So maybe you should consider those costs before you start a hobby business... and don't forget... if you reach your limit.... you pay income tax too. I truly recommend that you start selling your photos via photojobz, instantly sell to millions of potential buyers. click here:t.co/PW3Jk0Uds1?amp=1?sellphotos Depende de las regulaciones del país en el que vivas. Desde que muestras el castillo de Neuschwanstein, en Alemania necesitas tener un ID de Air Modelflight (creo que desde 2018), un seguro y si trabajas como comercial también una licencia, además de un acuerdo para fotografía aérea. . Entonces, tal vez debería considerar esos costos antes de comenzar un negocio de pasatiempos ... y no olvide ... si alcanza su límite ... también paga impuestos sobre la renta.
Hi. I can't believe I finally found someone who cuts to the chase and has the knowledge and skills to teach and capture attention. My husband has a great career, however I have been urging him to turn droning into a second career or at least post free content for others to enjoy! I never knew I could be in complete amazement watching someone fly a drone. Literally he switches his flying style from fighter pilot to flower and smooth in an instant. (Google the drone attack scene from the Gerald Butler movie, "Angel has Fallen" if you have no idea what I'm trying to say, lol.) As you mentioned, I am going going to buy Adobe and we will focus on editing. I came across your video as I was searching how to create drone marketing content for my new brand of Facemask (_iSewn). I clicked your listing because of the sick pic and your youtube name. I started designing masks as creativity is my stress outlet and improving public health is my passion as a Nurse. I want to use drone videos to share my modern vision. It really is possible to be a top Droner if you study, take action, give freely, are persistent, and really know how to fly. Thanks again, Caitlin
It’s insane that you live in Phoenix Arizona! I would not have guessed you’d live here out of all places, thought I recognized Papago mountain in one of your videos!
Great info man! I'm digging your channel. I have had the earlier versions of drones by dji and a q360 by some other drone company but about to dive back in with a Air 2S Fly More Combo. Glad I found you, I live in Destin Florida and there's plenty of good scenery, looking forward to getting back into it.

Hey Alix, I'm a semi pro film maker looking to buy my first drone, been watching a few of your vids...Dude wanna say thanks... not only informative but so watchable. Marvel universe should be calling you as an actor bro, Shouts out from London. Bless, Ray
Hey man just came across your channel I think its awesome, ive always wanted to get into just making content not even for views but just good simple content. I plan on buying one soon and I have lots of ideas already since I hike and travel as much as I can, and hang around alot of car junkies. Hopefully I can learn how to get some great footage!
I really appreciate this video you made. This is really interesting way to look at it. I am a complete amateur (noob) and I only have a DJI Mini drone but I know it takes great photos which can be edited to look amazing from perspectives that nobody can get easily. Thanks a lot for your ideas. Really great video.

With this said, is it possible to create good content with the current drone I have. I'm very new to photography and videos so I feel like I have much to learn still. Any advice would be great. Thanks a bunch!

You know what, you sound like a really nice chilled guy, and I like that you get straight to the point, and I'm glad you don't charge to teach like others do if you wanted to learn something, I really appreciate that, you have a new subscriber
Great content! But please could you try to speak a little bit faster?!!
How much faster does he need to speak? 😂
I am a videographer just getting into drones...always liked them, didnt know anything about them until now...I will keep watching. :)
This is a first an honest advice.
Have not seen such hilarious and such accurate content as this. As a pro, can confirm.
Depends on the regulations of the country you life in. Since you show Neuschwanstein Castle, in Germany you need to have an Air Modelflight ID (I think since 2018), Insurance and if you work commercial also a license, plus an agreement for air photography. So maybe you should consider those costs before you start a hobby business... and don't forget... if you reach your limit.... you pay income tax too.
I truly recommend that you start selling your photos via photojobz, instantly sell to millions of potential buyers. click here:t.co/PW3Jk0Uds1?amp=1?sellphotos
Depende de las regulaciones del país en el que vivas. Desde que muestras el castillo de Neuschwanstein, en Alemania necesitas tener un ID de Air Modelflight (creo que desde 2018), un seguro y si trabajas como comercial también una licencia, además de un acuerdo para fotografía aérea. . Entonces, tal vez debería considerar esos costos antes de comenzar un negocio de pasatiempos ... y no olvide ... si alcanza su límite ... también paga impuestos sobre la renta.
So glad I stumbled upon your channel! Love your work
omg staaahhp
Hi. I can't believe I finally found someone who cuts to the chase and has the knowledge and skills to teach and capture attention.
My husband has a great career, however I have been urging him to turn droning into a second career or at least post free content for others to enjoy! I never knew I could be in complete amazement watching someone fly a drone. Literally he switches his flying style from fighter pilot to flower and smooth in an instant. (Google the drone attack scene from the Gerald Butler movie, "Angel has Fallen" if you have no idea what I'm trying to say, lol.)
As you mentioned, I am going going to buy Adobe and we will focus on editing.
I came across your video as I was searching how to create drone marketing content for my new brand of Facemask (_iSewn). I clicked your listing because of the sick pic and your youtube name. I started designing masks as creativity is my stress outlet and improving public health is my passion as a Nurse. I want to use drone videos to share my modern vision. It really is possible to be a top Droner if you study, take action, give freely, are persistent, and really know how to fly.
Thanks again,
Caitlin
It’s insane that you live in Phoenix Arizona! I would not have guessed you’d live here out of all places, thought I recognized Papago mountain in one of your videos!
Sounds like the shortcut through this endeavor, is cocaine.
Great info man! I'm digging your channel. I have had the earlier versions of drones by dji and a q360 by some other drone company but about to dive back in with a Air 2S Fly More Combo. Glad I found you, I live in Destin Florida and there's plenty of good scenery, looking forward to getting back into it.
Subscribed and hit the notification. Laughing at your honesty...love your style. You represent Phoenix very well.
I love your video about this topic. And it is a big help to others how to start and thrive in the business world. Super comprehensive video. Keep up the great work.
I really like your videos and tutorials they are very genuine and easy to follow. Thank you.
Always very helpful and great information
Thank you for the videos
I wanted to thank you for the fantastically informative video's part 1 and 2. I live and Mesa and have a MA2 and a new Mini2 and often wondered "how far do I have to go to get to interesting subjects other than brown dirt and desert". You've opened my eyes to whats possible if you just look. I have my 107 and maybe, someday I'll do something with it. Thanks again! Subscribed for ALL!
Hey Alix, I'm a semi pro film maker looking to buy my first drone, been watching a few of your vids...Dude wanna say thanks... not only informative but so watchable. Marvel universe should be calling you as an actor bro, Shouts out from London. Bless, Ray
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and insights. Great marketing strategy.
Perfect! Raw, red meat from the first second. It's so great to learn from such an absolute professional. Thanks!!!
Hey man just came across your channel I think its awesome, ive always wanted to get into just making content not even for views but just good simple content. I plan on buying one soon and I have lots of ideas already since I hike and travel as much as I can, and hang around alot of car junkies. Hopefully I can learn how to get some great footage!
I really appreciate this video you made. This is really interesting way to look at it. I am a complete amateur (noob) and I only have a DJI Mini drone but I know it takes great photos which can be edited to look amazing from perspectives that nobody can get easily. Thanks a lot for your ideas. Really great video.
Hello nice to hear this from you sir . Thank you I will keep watching
Best opening line ever. 🔥
