I'm a mere 1:30 in and I already have to thank you for the valuable information. No other video that I have watched, has the person presenting the video given google search term to help out the people who have come here to try and learn how to make money with a drone. I'm going on 45 years soon and am forced into a career change due to a workplace accident that broke my neck and left me unable to continue my trade as a Heavy Equipment Maintenance Technician (heavy duty mechanic). I'm sure by the end of the video you will have demystified several things that I have been struggling to understand. I sincerely appreciate you making this video
Wow, thanks for the kind words! Sorry to hear about your accident, I'm sure it has been a tough time for you. Hopefully you can find some new exciting opportunities as you transition into the world of drones!
I disagree with the idea that it's "exciting" that Amazon received FAA approval for drone delivery. These companies that want to deliver via drone do not like hobbiest drones in their airspace. They will fight behind the scenes to destroy the drone hobby, just wait and see.
I take my FAA Part 107 next month! When I pass I’m looking forward to all the opportunities that come with this. Any tips for someone new to this field and at an entry level/starter spot
This resource is PRICELESS!! I just ordered a mini-drone and I would like to use it for a small business--not sure which area yet. I need to learn how to fly it. Questions: If I use this drone to help a small business, do I need a license?
@@DMay-jx2gx Thx for watching! I’m glad you found the information helpful. Yes, in that case you will need a license from the FAA. The test you are looking for is the Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate.
Searching for new apartments will only help you find realtors, not drone jobs in construction. To get those jobs you need to create a portfolio of the work that you have produced and then contact contractors.
Good question. Unfortunately I don’t know of any but that would be super helpful if there was. But, I can say this. Every drone job will be unique based on location, difficulty of the task, the required deliverables, how soon it needs to be done, etc. This might also be something I address in a future video.
Can you do another video on the FAA Part 107? Like where to find the information that will be on the test and other materials. Thanks for the videos they are very helpful.
Wow, congrats! You're off to a great start. Have you considered just starting your own drone business and starting off with a focus in something like real estate or construction progress?
Working for exposure is a sure way to turn your business into a hobby or to just go out of business. Ask almost every photographer... If your work isn't good enough to get paid for then you shouldn't want anybody to see it because you need to improve. If your work is good but the customer just doesn't want to pay and you give it to them for "exposure", you have a hobby not a business.
I would Google 'wedding photographer near me' and start networking. Check their website first and see if they offer drone services in their wedding packages. If not, make a phone call or send an email. Introduce yourself, let them know how you can help them grow their business via wedding photos/video.
I think it varies by state; I know here in NC a drone pilot who was doing inspections was told to stop because he wasn't a certified inspector. But I don't know if that is how every state operates. Thanks for watching!
I actually like his build custom drones. Would love to fix them too but no one seem to have any job positions where I live what can I do to start a repair business with no experience?
@@natefedor3812 Yes, you should take the time to study up and be prepared. When I took it, I paid for an online test prep course and passed the 1st time.
Not quite. The FAA is not trying to ban drones, but there was legislation passed in the House that all drones made by DJI be banned. However that bill was not passed in the Senate. If you look up DJI on Instagram they have some updates on the situation that explain it in better detail.

You could argue that they already have ruined the hobby with rid.
That might be who is actually behind the DJI ban.🤔
@@NotAnotherTim under 400' fly free, f the FAA
This is outstanding information thank you very much. Just passed my part 107 waiting on my license to come in the mail.
@@captblyght4964 Congrats! Great job passing the 107.
freelancers and companies are charging 15 to 17 dollars per acer for spraying, seems super way to make 100k under a limited time
Good to know, thanks for sharing! That does seem fairly lucrative, especially if you live in a rural farming area.
I charge $18-$22 per acre for spraying with my DJI T40
@@jonbauer2977 cool Where exactly do you guys provide your service?
@@jonbauer2977how much do you spend per acre ?
@@jonbauer2977how big is your typical job? How much did you pay for the drone?
Thank you Jonathan, I thoroughly appreciated this work. Amazing insight.!!

Agreed! A portfolio of solid work is a necessity to showing potential clients what you can do for them.
Great video Johnathan! Is there a resource to look into that can give you a idea of what to charge for drone services ?

Thanks for the kind words. Would a Part 107 study guide be helpful with sample questions and a short quiz to test your knowledge?
@@JonathanRichey Yes that would be great!

I just got my drone license today, but I don’t know where to work at. I also don’t have transportation to get to my job :(

How do u partner up with a wedding photographer?!

If not, make a phone call or send an email. Introduce yourself, let them know how you can help them grow their business via wedding photos/video.
A have few more suggestions as a Ukrainian...
for the inspection ones, don't you need to be an inspector already? And youre using the drone as an additional tool?
I think it varies by state; I know here in NC a drone pilot who was doing inspections was told to stop because he wasn't a certified inspector. But I don't know if that is how every state operates. Thanks for watching!
I actually like his build custom drones. Would love to fix them too but no one seem to have any job positions where I live what can I do to start a repair business with no experience?
Just start it and then advertise it. You dont need anyone to talk with you. You just need to have a vision for yourself and "Just Do It!"
@@alessandrahalliburton589 where the best place to buy broken affordable drones to fix and flip to make a profit? So I can start off ?
Maybe take a look at eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
Don’t you need your 107 cert first?
Yes, before you start charging clients for money, you should be Part 107 certified and be insured.
@@JonathanRichey is it a hard test ???
@@natefedor3812 Yes, you should take the time to study up and be prepared. When I took it, I paid for an online test prep course and passed the 1st time.
Which one of these were new to you? Which ones have you done before?
I know the 47th. The best one
Which one? Is this the one that make russians "good"?
Just got my first drone, a dji mini 4K. I'm excited. Let me see which way I'm going to make money!
That's a great drone - now go practice and have fun!
@@JonathanRichey thanks!

Same-same, but different😂
Me watching this at 26 about to get my Part 107: 😳
Awesome! You got this!
Do your research thoroughly, the business is getting saturated with cheap labor. Was great five years ago.
Best way to make money with a drone is to make a youtube video about how to make money with a drone.
@@NotAnotherTim😂
What's a drone job? If you have to ask you can't afford it
I was listening until you turned it into a dji add😢.smh.
I'm curious - what other drone providers that cater to individual consumers would you like to see reviewed on this channel?
Mmmm
Survielance, Marketing, Surveying, land/wildlife management. I counted 4 drone jobs.... this video could be a 1 minute short.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write down all those helpful categories!
