Hey! I don't have access to this layout anymore but essentially... you need to navigate to the page you're working on, click "edit" (top left corner), scroll over the section where you want the video, click "edit section", then on the popup menu click "background", click "video", then click "replace", and add the link to your video (I just host mind on UA-cam as an unlisted video) and it should sync right up! Let me know if that helps. -TB
Hey, seems like you don’t offer 360 photos, any reason why you don’t offer that? I feel like about 70% of the listings I see at any price point have 360 photos
Really helpful video. Appreciate the work. So much of this made sense to me and I'll be using these principles when creating my site for sure. Thanks!!
I worked at a local company when i first learned the basics. But when I started freelancing the best thing was just reaching out to potential clients I’d like to work with, doing photos at industry related events, paying for ads in magazines, etc ! The rest was just word of mouth over years and people seeing my videos on their friends posts and reaching out & things like that.
Thanks for the effort in producing this video. Lots of great, practical tips. I wonder if I can ask a question here...towards the end of the video you said your pricing will depend on the customer which of course makes sense, but you said due to the type of "licensing", and you didn't mention that it might be the amount of work/hours/travel, etc etc. Would you mind explaining that further? (I'm sure this indeed opens up a whole new bag of topics related to "How do I price my video/photo work"!! This was the first time I've heard someone mention specifically licensing being a reason to charge more or less...) This may not be the "forum" for that, or maybe I could/should go research this...But thanks again!
For sure ! So licensing just refers to the permissions given for the photos you provide the client. So if it’s just a listing that is one thing - very short term, typical temporary uses etc. VS “the license” to use for a national commercial, billboard, ads etc. for a bigger company or for a portfolio that’s more long-term use. So it’s 100% up to you on how much to estimate for each type of use, but theres reason to charge more for “the license to” use creative work for bigger, more valuable or more long term uses. Hope that makes sense !
Great video mate.. love it.. Quick one I'm building my one through SQUARESPACE , well actually starting out , as real estate business what options on squarespace did you go for?? Portfolio or domain??. Cheers
Thanks!! I have been trying to log in and find out but no luck because my account is not active anymore. It was a free one, though! I just changed the colors / added a few things like the vertical cropped photos from what I remember.
Thanks!! I’m not sure. I tried to look it up but it might not be available anymore. I remember I added in galleries / forms though so you could probably work with anything similar to make your own
Honestly it's probably a bit counterproductive for most Real Estate scenarios since it might cause you to miss an opportunity. For me it was because I wanted people to have to reach out so I could get a feeler for more custom projects and prequalify them a little bit if they were new. But definitely not necessary. I know some people like me would prefer to just know up front what at least the minimum price option is & if you are doing specific offerings it makes a lot of sense to just put it on the page.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo yeah just really keen to see the site you show in in video in more detail. Just building my new site at the moment so would love to incorporate pretty much most of what you talk about. Was hoping to see your site or even an unfinished version would be helpful 👍
Awesome!! I think I showed everything on here from that design. New one will probably be less relevant since I’m doing other client work / focused on other things like this youtube channel currently :)
if you need to travel to another state. I would assume the agent would pay for your travel expenses etc. right? How was that work? Or do you give them 1 set price for everything.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Thanks man I appreciate it im 19 about to move to houston to start my business and this has been on my mind a lot your video really helped out
@@bigsoup868 Nice!!! If you're totally new, it can be a great option to work with some people in the industry (shooting, editing, assisting etc) to see what it's like and get some hands on experience without having to figure out the whole freelance thing at the same time too! Thats how I started.
These are great tips! Your photos look fantastic too. Man I wish I had gorgeous places like that where I live to photograph hahah.
Thanks!!! I bet there are
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo a few, but hard to find!
You got some nice tips. Thank you!
9:22, Can you go through how you price / quote clients projects? Based on area, sq footage, rooms etc?
can you do a breakdown on how you inputed video into square space or how you built the site?

Good stuff, thanks for the tips. Adding these tips to my binder.
No prob! Glad to help :)
Good tips Taylor! Simple and Clean. I like it.
Thanks!! Hope they help :)

Have fun :)
Good stuff! I just used squarespace to launch my website recently. Also, thanks for the like on Instagram, I had a fanboy moment for a second.
Nice!! Your work looks great !!
Thank you! Switching up the site today!
Should I make a Website if I'm just starting out? or is it better to just contact realtors by email. Do you use a website to get clients?
Might as well, since they’re going to ask to see your work anyways.
taylor, your work is amazing.
Thanks!!
Can you do a step by step tutorial on how you build the website on square space?
Might do that when I make a new one! Thanks for the idea.
Hey Taylor what template did you use here?
5k subs!! Congrats man!
Thanks!!
thanks for the video & tips! I also like your website, thanks for a closer look👍🏻
Thanks for checking it out !
Hey taylor! How did you get clients, when you were first starting out?
I worked at a local company when i first learned the basics. But when I started freelancing the best thing was just reaching out to potential clients I’d like to work with, doing photos at industry related events, paying for ads in magazines, etc ! The rest was just word of mouth over years and people seeing my videos on their friends posts and reaching out & things like that.
Thank you for this informative video

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo awesome thanks for the reply!!
Your videos are the best!
Thanks !
Some great advice here, what is your website address?
I don’t have one live at the moment 😁
Great content and tips as always💯🔥
Thanks for the support !!
Great video mate.. love it..
Quick one I'm building my one through SQUARESPACE , well actually starting out , as real estate business what options on squarespace did you go for?? Portfolio or domain??.
Cheers
Thanks!! Really not sure. Probably portfolio
Hey Taylor thanks for all the tips man! If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you mean by lifestyle video in the package?
Thanks! Basically highlights to show the features, or with people in the video (sometimes realtors) to show features in a different way.
Great video as ever Taylor. Out of interest what Squarespace template did you use? Looks cool!
Thanks!! I have been trying to log in and find out but no luck because my account is not active anymore. It was a free one, though! I just changed the colors / added a few things like the vertical cropped photos from what I remember.
have you found out since then?
No sorry! It was a pretty normal one that I simplified from what I remember
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo ok its ok thank you
Always good brother!
You use After Effects for all your titles?
Thanks! Nope I got some title packs for premiere to keep it easy
So helpful! Do you mind if I ask you what template you used on Squarespace for the example you showed in this video?
Thanks!! I’m not sure. I tried to look it up but it might not be available anymore. I remember I added in galleries / forms though so you could probably work with anything similar to make your own
Is there a specific reason for removing the offers section from your website?
Honestly it's probably a bit counterproductive for most Real Estate scenarios since it might cause you to miss an opportunity. For me it was because I wanted people to have to reach out so I could get a feeler for more custom projects and prequalify them a little bit if they were new. But definitely not necessary.

Great video Taylor. Thanks can you forward your website so I can take a look. Doug
Thanks! It’s not live so it’s only accessible on this video 👍
Hey Taylor, When is your new website going to be finished and live? Cheers Bryan
Not sure! Whats up?
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo yeah just really keen to see the site you show in in video in more detail. Just building my new site at the moment so would love to incorporate pretty much most of what you talk about. Was hoping to see your site or even an unfinished version would be helpful 👍

What's the use of the website you cannot find using your and website name?
lol You're right, I need to get one up asap!
if you need to travel to another state. I would assume the agent would pay for your travel expenses etc. right? How was that work? Or do you give them 1 set price for everything.
Yeah, of course. Just add travel expenses / fees to your invoice and let them know ahead of time what to generally expect.
what are the filters for website format on square space?
Hey! I'm not sure which one I used - but it was pretty simple and I mostly just took stuff away to customize it.
hi thanks, all the links to amazon doesnt work . They are just leading to a random page.
Weird ! What were you trying to get to? Probably will work on another videos links that’s more recent
Taylor, what's your website address?
Hey! I don’t have a portfolio site up right now. This was one I had made but took down so I decided to share it👌
I still don't have a website. I want to keep it super simple
But I'm late
Nice !! Definitely helps if you’re doing something specific as a business
Hey FYI the link don't open but to amazons home page.
Hey! Thanks for letting me know. Not sure why that happens sometimes.
Can you make a good living off of RE photography?
Yes - Probably one of the more consistent fields to be in since clients are repeat customers! (compared to portraits, weddings, etc)
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Thanks man I appreciate it im 19 about to move to houston to start my business and this has been on my mind a lot your video really helped out
@@bigsoup868 Nice!!! If you're totally new, it can be a great option to work with some people in the industry (shooting, editing, assisting etc) to see what it's like and get some hands on experience without having to figure out the whole freelance thing at the same time too! Thats how I started.
I should really update my website 😅
It’s hard to get around to haha I had no website for my whole time being freelance then made this one and didn’t use it except for this video 😆
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Hahaha, better late than never 😅
your limiting yourself by saying 40+ 55+ images for a listing. Why do more when maybe you don't have too. Let me know your opinion!
Yeah I’ve always just done full coverage with no numbers
