    ☞ bit.ly/3uWcFbE
    In this video I talk (in great detail) about some of the different ways you can grow your existing creative business and make more money - not just from new jobs, but from the jobs you already have. And if you’re wondering, “WTF does Lizzie know about all this? And why should I listen to her?” Well, I run a six figure production company… that’s why. :)
    LET'S BE FRIENDS! :)

    What are your biggest struggles in growing your creative business? Have you overcome any? How?

    • @davidhuval
      @davidhuval 6 років тому +4

      Getting started, lol. I'm in the process of setting up a media company to work on the side (as I still have a full-time job in marketing).

      The biggest struggle right now for me is transitioning into paid work. I'm traveling in India right now and the markets for this kind of work are very different than say back in Atlanta where there was an established industry. Most work here is only for weddings for photo, and very few companies value photo/video work for their businesses. We've been going to places like Bali and Thailand where there is a bit more of a tourism industry and making content in exchange for stay and food, but I want to start transitioning into more paid work. Maybe that could be a video you or Chris make?
      Btw - You guys are awesome. Thanks for making all the videos! I'm falling more in love with Canadians thanks to you, chris, Matti, Peter and the rest of the Canada gang! lol

      @groovymotion5706 6 років тому

      Lizzie, great video! I lost a major contract last week so I will definitely check out the what to charge video! I was right in the average pricing but it is most definitely experience where I lost most of the points. How do you go and get a great gig without the experience?

Thank you Lizzy and Chris, y’all are an awesome team and the Dope Squad too for inspiring me everyday to shoot a style and out of my comfort zone. I really appreciate you guys. Lmk if you guys need a guide in Boston, MA.

    Thank you so much, Lizzie! For this and the video with Chris (how much should you charge)! This exactly my biggest struggle atm. I want to start my avocatinal business, but I don’t know where and how to start with charging for my services. Love and greets from Germany. You both rock🤘❤️Cheers

  • @mariochmtz
    @mariochmtz 6 років тому

    I just wanted to say that I follow Peter Mk, Chris, Casey, Ben Brown, Mango Street, Matti Hapooja and a lot more and your channel is the ONLY ONE I have with the notification bell. Theres something about your videos that makes me want to see more. You talk very smooth to the camera and that makes it so easy to watch. Thank you for the great tips on making more money, super helpful =)
    P.S
    My biggest struggle right now is that where I live, the biggest income as a photographer/cinematographer is making weddings which I want to avoid. I really want to make commercials but dont know how to start and every time I think about this I just get so stressed I end up doing nothing.

    • @LizziePeirce
      @LizziePeirce  6 років тому

      I wanted to respond to this days ago but had poopy wifi when I saw it! THIS IS SO NICE!! I really appreciate your nice words Mario. :) I'm so glad you're finding value in these.
      In response to your biggest struggle - honestly we all feel like this. We want to do a different type of work and stop loving the first kind of job we got that's making us money. Totally normal! I would suggest 1. Putting that intention out into the world which you're already doing! Tell everyone this is what you want to do and try making contacts in that field so you can keep learning from those already doing those gigs. 2. Try making similar productions just for fun and post them online! Then you have an example of what you can do to show potential/future clients.
      Hope this helps!

    I appreciate this (and really all) video. I'm no where near far enough along to be making my living off my photography, but I've recently had friends seek me out to comission some work. from me. These are great things to think about as I attempt to move forward from hobby to side hustle and eventually, full time.
    Thanks Lizzie, you're the best.

    Love your guys content together. Big fan of you both. I have mostly done stuff with car photography / videography past couple years but recently got into portraits and shooting with people. Friends and referrals seem to like my work and have asked about weddings lately. Could you guys do a video about how to photograph a wedding or a tutorial on best plan of action to go about that. I am confident in my abilities, however just a nervous feeling because it's people's big moments! lol. Thanks! Keep up the videos!

      @LizziePeirce  6 років тому +1

      That's awesome! Yeah he reached out to me and sent me some of his tracks to use. :)
      I agree it can be hard. But honestly it never goes from zero to 100 you just kinda keep increasing the commitment level over time. But it does mean that other things will have to go on the back burner. Really depends on your priorities - which change often!

    Is that licence plate registered? You might want to blur that no? Also I would recommend burying you "phone communication time" in some production costs. I've been on the agency/client side where I've seen production companies get denied because the agency account executives doesn't feel communication time between production and client is an efficient use of funds.
    Quote a bit higher and in many ways that plays to the production companies advantage, if they're worth it.

    • @LizziePeirce
      @LizziePeirce  6 років тому +4

      Modern Slice I actually list “client meetings & communication” within my preproduction cost line in my estimates. Budgets are different and we keep those to ourselves.
      Also it’s a rental car - I wouldn’t worry about it. :)
