5 Business Mistakes Every Videographer Makes | Stop Losing Money as a Commercial Videographer

[@erfahnh7127]

Eric, I am so glad I found your channel. I was one of those filmmakers that would film anything and everything to get some work out there and since discovering your work, I fell in love with commercial filmmaking. I bought your course recently and uploaded my first passion project to the Facebook group. I’d love some feedback if possible! I want to get better and better every day

[@EricThayne]

So stoked for you!

[@phyllissong]

This is more than a filmmaking tip, it's a business blueprint. Eric breaks down the common mistakes holding videographers back from higher pay and bigger clients.

Gained a bunch of game from this video. I love the point on niching down.. thank you!

[@davetinoco]

This was very helpful and eye-opening. This video should have millions of views.

[@zachwilkins]

I was just talking with my videographer friend about how I think i'm charging too little. Especially compared to what he charges in the same area. I'm done with that exploring phase you talked about and feel like I can really start to take myself more seriously. I suffer from imposter syndrome for sure. Just discovered you recently and have been loving your content!

[@yourreelstoryproductions8979]

Thanks Eric, Your courses and tips such as these are always very helpful. Hope your new ride is treating you well. :)

[@EricThayne]

Thanks!

[@charlesrobichaud-parahawkm4088]

I've said this before Eric but thank you so much for sharing. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Your videos and programs are outstanding.

[@EricThayne]

Thank you 🙏😊

[@JoacoCarnero]

How do you “sale” all that to your client when you are starting out? Do you show them your past work? What if you didnt have experience in that niche? The selling part is the most difficult for filmmakers. Great video eric! Breakdown more of your past work! Keep it up and thank you for helping us to improve! Cheers 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@EricThayne]

If you don't have experience in a niche yet, then you need to get it. Do a passion project, get a case study and testimonial, show what you can do. I've had students land multiple high paying gigs just from one single passion project. Definitely recommend watching the training linked in the description-I go way more in depth on this stuff!

[@samuelaseolas]

You're extremely talented. I don't say this lightly. I actually want to take your courses.

[@EricThayne]

Thank you ❤️

[@michaelherczegfotografiefilm]

[@1TaylorBoone]

So much value! Thank you!!! What is the tube light I see you using?

[@EricThayne]

You bet! Quasar tube

Are the things mentioned but not talked about in this free training in the Cinema Mastery course as well? Or is it a separate business course?

[@EricThayne]

Cinema mastery gives a high level overview of some of the business aspects, but it primarily focuses on the cinematography. We have a separate training program that is more business focused, which you can learn about by watching the free training in the description.

[@joshdiditt]

How do you find clients that can afford that? That's the issue.

[@EricThayne]

That's where marketing comes in! There's lots of ways to do it. I would recommend checking out the free training in the description where I go more in depth on this topic.

Can your coach be your boss you work for?

Mistake number 6: not learning Brand Strategy.

[@jeffcools8314]
