Love it! Great video man! I am in the process of gathering more clients and transitioning from free to paid. I'm definitely going to go to my local farmers markets

[@KristianAltuve]

congrats!! I am curious about how you are pricing yourself to paid clients.. i am in this transition myself

[@Theportraitdude]

Yeah I would never have thought of that too!

[@JAfilmsweddings]

Hi, this is an old comment so not sure if I will get a response. But how do you price your packages once you transition?

[@dyzelfilmz5596]

What's good fam, BTW ur content is superb. My question is, I wanna know how to accomplish this effect kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXOldapqns-SZ8U In this link at 2:26 there's a glitch effect here that I just can't seam to find anywhere. Software I'm currently using is final cut pro 10.4.7. Please help if ur able too✊💯

[@mystic-edits9646]

@@dyzelfilmz5596 that looks like an overlay not an effect

[@thelostgentleman5096]

Before, I always wanted to get paid. I never got any contracts. Then, when I started made a first attempt of making a short film, it was a complete fail! I realized I talked a big game but played a small one. That was a huge dose of humility. It's been a year now, and I have been practicing doing stuff for free and boy was that helpful! So I agree, do stuff for free first, figure out your workflow, get better at it and then sell your service with confidence.

[@KaganTech]

Cool tips. It's also important to let beginners know they will get a lot of people not calling back or reaching out at the start. Just don't get discouraged.

[@danielschiffer]

Kagan So true!

[@LiveMusicOntario]

#1 for me ages ago was to always be listening to what's going on around you, ie. have situational awareness. This applies even when you are not out trying to drum up business. Case 1: I was at a building shared by a few realtors, a pool company and a used car lot. My reason to be there was to shop for a used van. But in conversation he finds out what I do for a living (multimedia). Turns out that's what the car dealer really was into. His video clients included Young Drivers of Canada, manufacturers and architectural fabricators. He kept running the the car dealership when he bought the building and had no one to run it. He didn't make the studio being there public knowledge because it had been broken into a few times. I ended up moving in to a spare office and providing a segment of digital that he could now add to his services. Case 2: I was cold calling a restaurant to sell something unrelated, before I got into video. A customer who was paying at the front overhead my pitch to the restaurant and that turned into several years of graphic design services for him, his wife's publishing business and his friends' businesses, because once you latch onto an entrepreneur, you often find the people they like to associate with are of the same entrepreneurial disposition. Just keep yourself upbeat and presentable. I was never on the "sell" but I was always ready to meet a need. Big difference in attitude.

Just fallen into a deep hole of watching all of your videos this afternoon, such killer content and I love that you include tips for beginners! When you were starting out your business, did you have a day-job on the side to help pay bills and if so, when did you decide to go full-time?

[@jamesrperry]

Whenever I'm feeling unmotivated, lost or questioning my videography skills, I come to your channel Daniel. Thank you for the help you give us all, we really appreciate it!

[@mystic-edits9646]

@extremedude1234 I do things like that, are you still interested?

[@osamashahid6287]

You haven't missed a single point. I have learned each and every thing. Thank you for this amzing tips. You turned me from a subscriber to a fan

[@KeepCalmEden]

Im hooked on your videos already, so satisfying to watch idk the way you construct your videos are just so well made

[@Vypro22]

This is one of the most valuable and beneficial videos on this subject that I’ve watched, really practical tips, thanks man!

[@BryanLankston]

Thank you! I am trying to start a business doing something like this and this is the first video I’ve watched that is actually helpful for getting clients.

[@ericw9]

I'm im university business school and this is so on point with what we learn, only it is creative, interesting, and applicable to entrepreneurial ideas

[@fortresscollective3614]

Thanks for the great info man! The farmer's market idea is a unique one for sure, we're going to try it today!

[@katie]

Just came across your channel today and I've already subscribed! You have amazing videos and I always think it's cool to find other Canadian videographer KZbinrs. Love your stuff!

[@areabass]

I've worked for agencies for the last few years and starting to head out on my own. Farmers markets is a great shout! I've never thought of that before.

[@azastory5241]

I swear I am the beginner of yutuber and start learning video making and fortunately i found your channel, it really really helps me and is inspired me so much. Many thanks for all your videos!!!

[@thecontentcreator5702]

Love your videos brother! Keep doing you. Informative, yet concise - something that's seems to be quite rare these days on youtube. Nice colours btw ;)

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@HadyElcott]

I just found this gem of a Channel!!! Binge watching your videos Love your stuff man Don’t ever stop

[@jarodlovekamp7955]

Love the farmers market idea! I am a photographer and I am definitely going to try this out this week!

[@OfficeSystems]

1Million of Subs! Congrats bro! You are awesome, I have learned a ton on your channel, so go ahead! 🎉🎊

[@MikeMakes]

I went to a random small venue concert for a band known around the midwest and took a few photos and videos. just posting that alone expanded visibility. I am now friends with the band that their followers started following.

[@kevinrapanoelina1725]

Uploaded since 2018 and no dislike, that's a lot of value you are offering !

[@jifhorhad]

I have seen a lot of videos. But your suggestions were the best and useful. Thank You.

[@Rob-fi2pe]

Fantastic video! This is one of the things that I'm having the most trouble with. I really appreciate the great advice here! Thank you!

[@MsJanaka2010]

Really helpful tips Daniel. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@tiffanyashvideo]

Thank you so much for these tips! The tip about building up a portfolio when you really don't have anything to show is great and I'm starting to do that and have been getting more attention!

[@matiasferrero7584]

Helped me a lot, didn't know how to start with photography and now I feel ready to start!! THANK YOU A LOT

[@TerenceKearns]

It so true what you say about the service being priority #1. People think your brand is your presentation. Your brand is actually your customer experience. The way you conduct your service with the client determines their customer experience and determines your brand.

[@ChadRHembree]

This is the best video I have found on KZbin about this subject. I am hitting subscribe now. I have been in the media industry for over 15 years but I'm looking at breaking off to freelance full time this year so this is very helpful.

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks for watching :)

[@hugoboss1084]

You bring so much value to us, your audience. Wow thank you for the great advice.

[@JordanThomasmedia]

Such solid advice especially the point of using your platform as a portfolio and hitting local businesses about work! The Internet is a wonderful thing, and its really easy to miss the obvious in real life opportunities.

[@angelospsomopoulos1185]

Bro big ups to this information its a massive help. I'm just starting on becoming a content creator web developer and video editor and I gotta say I had no idea how to go about it UNITILL this video. Have a blessed and productive day man.

[@hormones999]

Hi Daniel, I am into video production and found this video very helpful. Thank you so much.

I watched this video 6 months ago and decided to design and make my own business cards. It was a long process but now im rewatching this video with the card in my hand, hoping to learn about the distribution of them. Thanks for your help!

And?

[@lkfxfotografiavideo177]

These are as simple as super practical tips, thanks a lot, everything on point 🙌🙌👍

[@hassanstudio]

I love your awesome work. Your plain and humble approach. And some wonderful marketing tips that you left in the video are pretty powerful. Thanks for everything creative.

[@GlebLapham]

Just came across this video and wanted to say thank you for sharing these tips! These were super helpful!

[@Weird_Quests]

Again, Daniel - thanks for the awesome vid! I'm still very much in the produce content/free stuff stage at the moment - Im also a writer too and I do find that most creative industries these days are as much about the branding and marketing as it is about the actual creative work!

[@absurda_mente]

Great content man! Simple but valuable tips. And people forget that the simple is usually more effective.

[@streetsofantwerp5070]

Thank you for those useful tips! They’re great.

[@DavidCJConroy]

Really great business advice for getting started. Thanks a million Daniel.

[@ThunderYitties]

Wow this has been so helpful! Your explanations were clear and you got straight to the point. Thank you!

[@juddmeche3777]

There's a farmers market down the street from my house -- definitely using that tip. Thanks!

[@MichaelJDay]

Hi Daniel, Thanks for sharing your advice! It’s helpful!

[@rolandilles1014]

Hey Daniel, Awesome content you are putting out there! I already have 4 videos of yours in my "watch every day to develop" playlist. I'm just about to dive deep into the DLSR filmmaking and move to Lisbon(Portugal) for 3 months to build up a nice portfolio and client base. Thanks for the inspiration and looking forward to seeing more awesome content from you! Cheers!

[@danielschiffer]

Thanks for watching and the support! Best of luck!

[@ahmedma3oda]

The Most helpful video talking about this topic :D thank you man .

[@ilyaonthefly]

thanks for the tips Daniel! You make such dope and helpful filmmaking videos, i subbed

[@JaysEndeavors]

Great advice! I was doing free services, but currently editing my last free music video. Im at a point when ppl are asking for video deals, which lets me know that I'm there, the point where all hard work and money can pay off. My advise, offer atleast 3-4 free to dirt cheap videos or as many as you want until you are sure of your work..but don't break yourself doing so...don't put too much into it than you can afford..set a certain budget..my budget was 30- 40 bucks for props. In due time, it will all pay for itself.

[@tnreels9633]

Thanks for this video. I'm actually so happy that I watched this video. I'm a videography, where sport/frisbee is my main subject to film. It's like my passion but when you put your best work out and I feel like it didn't make it to the top, I get very discourage. When you stated that you travel just to shoot film, I'm not sure if those were free but I travel just to shot tournaments just to get my name out there. There's a tournament next weekend that I didn't want to go to because the video that I just made didn't seem to have an impact in the ultimate community, but after watching this video, it changed my mind to go. Hopefully I will get better and get those gigs from BIG tournaments because I love to do this.

[@Rolbysworld]

Quick and informative like always. Keep em coming man!

[@dodmedia]

Awesome channel dude! Love the honesty. I get lots of people asking me on mine how they can start filmmaking and getting paid work, and I pretty much tell them the exact same thing. Build yourself a portfolio and be honest to the person you're pitching to, and the work will speak for itself. I went around to all the 'nicer' restaurants in my neighbourhood and offered them a free video and photos with an instagram/facebook promotion strategy plan. I hadn't thought of the farmer's market though, that's a brilliant idea! :-) Subbed!

[@SimmerSam]

Such a great video ! Thanks on the advice. I'm just starting out in photography & love it & really want to do videography as well. Would love to have both as a full time job.

Thank you so much for this video :) After watching I managed to get my first client ever!

[@OnePercentBetter]

Awesome video. One thing I've found is there are low-end, mid-end, and high-end clients. How do you suggest negotiating payment?

[@dukh4024]

Maybe survey the background the of the client. How long they're business. Who is their customer target. Rate base on your level of video. For me as starter, I'd grab any job with any reasonable price.

[@BuckandUnder]

Great video Daniel! Nice helpful tips for people just starting out.
