Few artists fail because of their craft, most artists fail because of the business side of things. So important for creators to talk on this topic! Keep up the good work!
Couldnt agree more
I was an artist first for a long time. Became completely broke and had to learn the business side. Now Im a double-edged powerhouse. I still feel down when I see artists who are incredibly talented, yet don't know how to sell their work. They believe the work will sell itself and that people will appreciate it but that simply isn't how the world works sadly.
I am so glad you're touching on this topic.
TheRealCritique what type of "youtube docs" are you meaning?
The ones without a story. Without something that gets the telling foreward? Because than i am agreed with you. :)
Thank you for the advice. I have a question how do you market yourself as a videographer?
These are my notes for the video.
Traditional route :
1. Go to film school
2. Get into a production crew and work there.
If you’re a hard worker then you’re probably gonna get called for another project.
But you need to have a portfolio to get into one.
Try to approach as many agencies.
[You get paid by day rates usually]
Unconventional routes :
1. Wedding filmmaking
2. Corporate films (they don’t need to be that flashy but they pay quite well)
3. Passive Income - sell stock footage, UA-cam, affiliate marketing, etc.
• never think a project is beneath you.
• don’t under charge and finally
• don’t work for free even if little start charging right away.
Been working a 9-5 job and I'm sick of it. Time to chase my passion!!!
alfie fallejo you and me both pal
Best of luck buddy! YOLO❤️!
alfie fallejo I’m right with you G
May I ask how you’re doing now??
Update!!!
Oh my goodness, this guy is a life saver! You just gave me SO many ideas. . . my mind is going a million miles an hour right now!
You have such calm/gentle and genuine vibe. Recently have been a big fan of your videos!
Dang man. Would love to hear an entire video/series on passive income. And would definitely buy another course related to making money! haha.
Coming next! Its already in production
agree
Yessssss
THANK YOU!
lets do it!
Thanks for being so open and honest about this Matti! A great video.
I never been to filmmaking school or classes before, I graduated majoring in accounting and just last year I realized my passion for videography and start posting on UA-cam. The only way to learn is by making more videos, I really enjoy it
Yep thats pretty much it in a nutshell. With a little bit of business sense and hard work you can definitely get paid
Piece of Amr Who is the buyer of our videography?
Yeah. I got a camera because I am an oil painter, and was investigating making prints, and for reference images. Inevitably, as things change, in order to keep up in the digital marketing world, I had to learn about video. But, I found a passion there too. A deep one. I'm just learning, too old for school or careers, but I'm having the most artistic fun of my life. I can't stop... Good luck!
This is actually so helpful - I feel like if you're coming to the filmmaking world from the outside, the money making aspect can be pretty opaque, so thank you for shedding some light!!!
Love your videos! You are inspiring me so much! THANKS
Thanks so much! Glad your liking them
have been following your channel for the past few days. very impressive. this video felt very honest and straight from heart.
Found this video through recommended and watched the whole thing. This is such a good video for anyone who's likes making films and wants to jump to professional. Your incredibly well spoken as well! Immediately subscribed.
I love your stuff - this advice is great. I love that your channel is blowing up!
been a fan of your channel for a while and just now came across this video, i have primarily shot music videos since starting my journey and i was lucky to have a solid base of local artists ready to work but after this video i'm ready to jump into weddings, corporate and other types, always love your videos
So many good tips Matti! To think that this is only touching the tip of the iceberg that is your (incredibly helpful) full course on making a living as a filmmaker.
Awesome, realistic info I wish I had in film school!! Looking forward to the rest of this series!! 🙌🙌🙌
Just wanted to say thank you, thank you for inspiring those of us wanting to pursue a career on this, and also for giving some quality and realistic advice... keep it up!
So much value, look forward to this series.
A great video! It is very rare to watch someone talking about money so honestly.
And I think that everything you ve said is true (or seems to be right) :D
Thanks for the support!
Couldn't agree more with you! This was very detailed and valuable information instead of just "you can make thousands of dollars" what most people would say...
Really appreciate this kind of stuff...
I am just starting out and there is so much more to learn
You're so positive! I love your open minded energy.
Hi Matti,
M a music producer but have learnt this process after a long study/observation abiut the industry.
But yea,
You've really come up with something that nobody nowadays shares these kinda information.
Really happy to see something which will surely help freshers.
Keep it up brother. 👍
This really helped with my plans for the future. Thanks Matti 👊🏼
thanks for sharing everything..all your videos are very informative ..i am hooked to your channel ...the way u explain it ..u nail it every time ...thankyou so much for sharing .
All your videos are great! Thank you for all the help and advises!
Thanks again Matti for inspiring us! It makes a real difference!
Thank you for this video! I’m just in the beginning stages of videography and photography so this was helpful.
I feel I like the music industry is the same way. I'm a working musician and I don't understand how people become starving artists. You don't have to be that person to do music full time. I started making money by busking in the street, then I got gigs in restaurants and hotels, now I play at weddings and corporate events. In my free time I write my own songs and pay a producer to record them. I know people who only do songwriting and write for TV and film and in their spare time they write their own music. I completely agree that passive income is another great way to make money as a freelancer. Write blogs about your field, books and tutorials! I think this is great advice for just about any creative field. You just have to get out of that mentality that you are going to be a star. It means you feel entitled.
I came across your video cause I'm actually getting into cinematography right now. I'm doing it just for fun but I thought if I get good at it, maybe I can also make some money :)
Can you get me in touch with the people who write for film/tv? That's my dream ;-;. I have a few scores I'd like people to hear
Thanks for openly discussing business. It seems like the last piece of information people are willing to share...but the most important!
Brother yes!! Seriously this is a great video!! Builds the spirits!! Keep it up!!
Thanks for being so candid!!
Dude, this is exactly the type of advice people like me need when we're starting out! :)
Thanks so much!
Wowewwe, you’re on point, im an aspirant to do what you’re doing, hopefully would work out but very limited budget to buy the stuff like dslr camera, anyways from vaughan city here. Thank you for all your great videos, im a fan of yours!!!!!!
Thank you brother, this was definitely helpful and motivational and has shined some light on the problems I'm facing today with my company. Thank you
Very informative, Matti! Thank you so much for the video 👍
Matti, thanks so much for this channel bro! Love your work, I've admired it for a while, well done!! Thanks for this and keep up the good work!

Been following you on Vimeo for some years. Just found this channel you're making some great content dude!
Hi Matti, big fan of ya. I have been a small video/photo business that is PT for a year or so.
I'm about to get let go from my day job soon. Just wanted to let you know because of your videos. You give me hope to make a good life shooting video/photos.
Cheers my guy. I'm going in!
Oh my gosh! This was my first video with him and I loved it!
Awesome inspiration man!
thank u for this advice sir...we need more people like u
Thanks Matti!
These are such useful tips! I'm nowhere near ready to make money with videos but I'll keep this in mind for the future :) Keep making these great tutorials!
Awesome!
thanks for all those advice
Best start on a video ever
Thanks for your advice!
Love you matt
This video really got me thinking. Thanks for the input! :)
Awesome!
Thank you for the information
As a filmmaker who has spent the last 8-9 years only with music-related clients and no-budget indies, and only in the last 2 years started working with brands and agencies, I can attest that you are 100% correct. It is so much better to let the romantic notion of the "struggling artist" slip away, and embrace yourself as a business. My art has improved dramatically now that I am not constantly worried about making rent!
Very technical speech. I am proud to be a tiny filmmaker. Today I learn that ‘Don’t undercharge’. Thanks
this was super helpful thanks
Super Helpful, thanks!
You are absolutely right.
Let your work speak... so that you don't have to.
Learn - be confident - and create master piece.
Did you go to film school or are you self taught?
Nice video again! I really like being a videographer doing work for both small agencies and companies doing a little bit of everything. Used to think that I needed to evolve to a DP shooting high end commercials but actually pretty happy with small corp jobs, not that much pressure and you can develop through personal projects on the free time! And I agree with you, as long as you like the business side of filmmaking it's pretty simple to make a decent living! Would really like to hear more on your passive income sources, 40k a year is amazing! :)
Yea everyone has a sweet spot and its not necessarily at the "top" of that field. I'll be making a course on passive income and all of that soon!
You are such a great inspiration bro :)
