I want to add one last note. Don't be scared to send a quote with what you think you are worth! Thanks for watching! VERY IMPORTANT- STOP clicking weird spam posts. I have no idea what's wrong with KZbin but this has become a big problem with a lot of channels. It's not me.

Ok thanks Evan

Hi this is Levi Howard I am 1:45 nature photographer

[@levihoward4470]

3:36 I ever wanted a paid photographer but I get for free and I get used my photography skills for nothing all I wanted to get paid for a Living I am serious about my career 3:56 and you take pictures for our newsletter for free I thought I am going somewhere and getting paid to do it 5:12 I need help

[@DavidSenteno]

Always motivating me to keep moving forward. Starting a photography career at 56 seemed crazy, but anytime I have my camera in my hand I guarantee I have a smile on my face. Thanks.

[@Nature_lover2780]

Good on you, go for it

[@photobizmethod]

I'm 59 ;) You've got this ;-). I have a lot of older photographers. who have started after they retire ;)

[@anandhapadmanabanm2980]

Go for it... You deserve to do what you love

[@ikadeksuryantara8522]

You really inspire me

[@timomuursepp3283]

I have not watched the video yet but I will be in a second. But I remember when I got my first 4 figure photography job. I cant say how happy and hyped I was and how much it motivated me to go bigger. I have not landed 5 figure project but I know in the future I will and can not wait for this moment! Thanks Evan for making an awesome and meaningful content!

[@importantie]

thanks for the vid Evan, this got my head in a great space. “Make yourself undeniable”, words to lead a creative practice by. Let’s get paid!

[@jeroenvanittersum]

How the picture frame lines up with the window frame's reflection in the tv *chef's kiss*

[@kevin-haggerty]

Even this is solid stuff. I totally believe that doing it for yourself and presenting it like you would to a clint is one of the greatest ways to get high paying gigs, and grow your skills and creativity at the same time.

[@rodneybrown5889]

I feel this is the video that puts a spark back in my creative engine!! After 20 years of dealing with divorce drama, and a recent move to Fort Worth Tx , have lived in IL most my life aside being in the Navy…starting fresh with my new wife of 1 yr “5/2/21” but have been together since 2010…this video spoke to me Evan….btw I miss ATL, and the southern hospitality it offers, had been stationed in Marietta … keep these coming it’s alwYs a pleasure to watch yer hussle

The Advice/Information I was looking for... I truly appreciate you for sharing your experiences and knowledge Evan !!!

[@Str8ghtII]

Thanks Evan!! Really great advice!!

[@charliepiazza1]

This is the video I didn’t know I needed to see man thank you for such value!

[@bencane9554]

Digging the advice and style. Going the extra mile is such a good approach, but not commonly done!

[@KaiTiura]

Your advice is always on-point and valuable. You're a hard-working dude!

Thanks for the inspiration bro!👊🏾

FYI Evan in your website with the Toyota shots you posted you captioned it as Totota! Not sure if you’ve noticed that in your portfolio showing your mood board kind of thing!

[@Mike_Mandigo]

Great points!

[@TeenyWeeny]

I think yeah.... this can work where agencies exist. Atlanta is a huge city. I'm in the middle of nowhere. Will these bigger cities actually hire me, someone from the middle of nowhere, pay my travel fees, to solve their problems than someone down the block for cheaper and no travel fee?

[@TheAseanPrince]

Thank you so much for sharing, Evan! The tips are really very helpful~

[@RanftEvan]

[@Omarrr77]

Hi Evan - in regards to your spray paint gig, how do you figure what to charge especially when you have companies of varying sizes, like big ones?

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Part of the problem I see is people trying to know what the next guy is thinking. ie, I send in my work and someone will take my ideas. In reality, the person hiring the help has no time to steal ideas, they simply want to quickly pick one person for the job out of dozens. Your submitting a video is the ticket.

[@Jason-gq8fo]

I feel like it’s impossible for me to make photography a career where i live, just have no idea how to start or get my work out there

[@SneakyCaleb]

It's definitely tough some places. Both big cities and small cities have their own set of challenges

[@photobizmethod]

I'm late to the party but do you know who you want to work with?

[@amandanieves50]

Can you use a iPhone as a photography job if one can not afford a camera for that moment ?

[@Studio93013]

Offering a free "proof of concept" to a potential client sounds like a great idea, but how do you protect yourself from them simply ripping off your idea and hiring their brother-in-law to copy it for less money? I think it would be necessary to have them sign a contract ensuring that if they like the idea they will have to hire you to do the project.

[@yasinnabi]

thanks for sharing. one of the best videos I have watched today. thumbs up ===

[@jackstringfellow1254]

Hi I'm 13 and I'm really into photography. How could I make money from it before I'm and adult?

[@RanftEvan]

Best advice I have is look for other individuals who need media. So look for people trying to build a fitness, lifestyle, or musical brand. Reach out to them or build a relationship and help them build. Relationships always lead to money

[@addictofbrian]

How would introverted people make this a reality?

[@photobizmethod]

It's about not selling it's connecting to the people you like :)

[@wesleydavis1130]

Great video

Thank you for the insights. This channel is high quality, man. I think you're gonna keep blowing up on YT.

[@mikebeats3281]

[@12345678927164]

You know, just ‘becoming popular’ isn’t an option for 99.9% of people out there. This isn’t advice, it’s just a guy who had dumb luck and nepotism, not really working hard now are you!?

[@SIRICREATIONS421]

I feel like what your trying to get at is anybody can use a camera so use it differently

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

I think it's corrosive to creativity to be focussing on particular financial goals all the time. You take pictures because you are inspired to. The number one goal is to be paid enough to KEEP taking pictures full time. When I started out my creative career my goal was to improve as much as I could and one day gain the respect of my peers. I never once wondered how I could be paid $20k for a job. I think it's bad advice to give people. Goal number one, be paid enough to survive and keep doing what you want to do. goal number two, always try to improve, learn from your mistakes - - and the better paying jobs will come.

[@janvu]

So tell me..is that a speedy?👀😳

Thanks for the video. Always informational. Also, I had a text me from you on my comment on one of your videos and I did twice but nothing…something about a giveaway? I’m confused

[@RanftEvan]

Pleaseeee ignore these! I don’t know why the spam comments have been so bad lately. This has been a big problem on my channel and others

I'd really love to do combat photography one day, I'm pretty sure I will one day by the grace of God almighty, there is a great war coming soon enough and I would like to be there when it breaks out, but my problem is that I wasn't really sure how to go about things to be able to do it someday and this video has helped me greatly....

[@UweRoclawski]

Find so with enough money 😂

[@RanftEvan]

I mean it sounds basic but networking is everything. I know people you’ve never heard with no internet following clearing 250k a year. Create the concept and get it where it needs to be. Has worked for me 🤷‍♂️

[@sijilo]

i think there is too much pro mist in your vids man.

Lately I’ve been finding brands on ig and people on LinkedIn and sending cold emails. What do you feel is best to include in the email? I know here you say proof of concept and prices, but is there anything else I should include

[@RanftEvan]

Solve their problem! That’s the main thing, so if you think they need a lot of media, pitch that. If you think they need a better schedule, pitch that. Specialize what you’re sending to what you think they need which is perceived as immediately valuable
