How To Be A Full Time Creator

[@diegojustraveled1118]

I feel like strangers will always support your work the most

[@KidCrowder]

Facts, always more than people you have known the longest

[@rashadandre1487]

People you know, feel that you owe them something.

[@brentsondigital9870]

FACTS.

[@ikonicmedia6294]

Procrastinación and self doubt and always thinking my work isn’t good enough even though people say they like my work it’s hard to also be consistent

[@jboudreaux9983]

Sams thing here man

[@TheAMANMusic]

The process is rough, I get discouraged when I overthink about this. I appreciate this video brother

[@kovafilms]

No one talks about limiting financial responsibilities but its such a necessary sacrifice to be a creative in this space. Thank you for bringing that to light man, so relatable!

[@melaniegriesemer]

“Limit your financial responsibilities” this is why I moved back in with my parents at 30 years old. Some people look down on me for this, but I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be able to do this!

[@CreativeRyan]

Bro... this is absolutely GOLD for people, I hope it clicks for some! 🔥 the old footy of us is crazy too haha

[@dovelPixel]

Your boy nail it🔥 . Very helpful

[@scellchosen3336]

Y'all bn buddies for so long. I appreciate both of you

[@justSKETCH22]

What if you have substantial student loan debt?

[@SkinnyWasHere]

the one thing that held me back from becoming a full time creator sooner was the comfort zone. Working a 9-5 and a steady income kept me content with life. It wasn't until i was overlooked for numerous promotions and raises that i knew i was in the wrong place. I had the opportunity to get paid and travel for a luxury client and was still second guessing losing my job. I made the leap for the opportunity and never looked back. now everyday i'm that voice in peoples ear telling them to give their dreams a shot

[@AlphaSincere]

PROUD OF YOU! KING. GLAD YOU ARE INSPIRE OTHER PPL TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES AND TAKE A CHANCE ON THEMSELVES! SALUTE💯👑

[@zaklara]

I definitely think one thing that stopped was just my own self-doubs. People loved my work that I was doing initially here and there, but I always just felt like it wasn't enough. And what it took was some real self reflection to be like you know, I got an eye for this, people appreciate my work, and I need to believe in myself and push forward with this. My first camera was also the Canon t2i, I bought it at a veteran bar at 2 in the morning and I'll never regret that decision because it pushed me into a creative art therapy after the military.

[@Hx4DNegus]

I can't relate to not being enough but when you think even deeper, why even compare your work to anyone else. You are your own cloth, not a cut from a different cloth. When working with people, you then nit the clothes together. Peace to you. Thank you for your service no matter your MOS.

[@zaklara]

@@Hx4DNegus much respect! I don't think I insecure in terms of comparing my work to others. I think I just struggled seeing the worth in my own work and if people would like it. 2020 actually served as this profound year for me where it allowed me to be introspective and truly appreciate my own work for its value. And very much like you said, I discovered last year that I was my own cloth. I was an 0311

[@Hx4DNegus]

@@zaklara peace and light on your journey

[@BamMarzelliTooDope]

This is me bro, people say I got an eye for photo/video hell I was making mixtape covers back in high school as well. and even did a small stint of college for graphic design degree which I eventually drop out of but years down the line after dropping the camera habit I picked it back up and it's better competition in my area than me so I always compare my work to theirs. So seeing that I am not at their level yet I have that self doubt but it's something I had to get over and I still fight it now, cause I'm not the biggest or best but I at least try and stay consist and get better with every project.

[@rmphotos328]

I’ve heard so many times that I’m a good photographer. But what holds me back from quitting my day job to be a full time photographer is not having that sense of financial security and having to learn new skill sets, knowing that they may take so much more time to learn. LOVED this video. Not many videos out there speak to what I’m thinking about 🤙🏼

[@ItzSKYVlogs]

Maaan... this must be a sign... thanks for this man! Sidenote: what I feel is stopping me but also pushes me.. is my career. I’ve been a post producer for about 10 years now.. and the more I moved up.. the less freedom and creativity you have.. which pushed me to youtube. I started an animation channel.. and that was fun.. but has I got more responsibilities.. my time became more limited.. at the same time I also have a secret channel that pulls in a decent amount of passive income... I then realized that I could use all my skills working in tv, and the animation channel thought me so much about youtube.. so still wanting to create but having my career still taking up a big chunk of my time.. I got into I realized that I can drop a 14k subscriber channel and start over and really make this happen. And it’s because.. my career pushes me to do it and I need a creative outlet. Thank you for the video man! It really helps a lot.

[@zakkincaid]

I feel this so much. I’m a content strategist for a big agency now and I get to work with high level brands daily, but my free time is eaten up. It’s a great problem to have, but it limits that creative freedom

[@JamaalNoland]

I just shot my 1st client video yesterday using a lot of tips I got from you and boy I'm ready to do this FULL TIME. Thanks Yc

[@KrzysztofGepard]

I just shot my 1st client... :OOO ...video 😌😌😌

[@biohazard2030]

Fear of failure is a big one. I just turned 27 and I started my journey of becoming a videographer/photographer in the middle of 2019. I had only done a few video jobs when I partnered up with a friend of mine who was also passionate about filmmaking and started a production company. However we haven’t had enough client work to sustain us so unfortunately I have a full time job to pay for my bills/camera gear. I felt discouraged during the pandemic because times were so uncertain and my job and paycheck was the only certain thing I had (I was one of the lucky ones who kept their job). However I realize that my fear of failure is holding me back. Holding me back on actively looking for clients and actually trying to make this work. Thanks for making this video. I definitely cut back on my financial responsibilities by moving back home. Now I have zero excuse. Pushing myself to make this my full time gig by the end of 2021/start of 2022. Let’s go!

[@RealWorldRyann]

I’m working past a lot of what you mentioned in your “Just start” video, just getting past the over-worked feelings in my head, wanting to be motivated at all times, but not showing up for myself and doing the work every day. Also, not really sure who my target clientele is just yet. That’s been my toughest challenge, figuring that out.

[@bcoleart8247]

Thanks for making this video. It took me several years to become a creative. the diversification really was a key for me offering (Graphic Design, Photography, Videography, Websites, Branding & Marketing) I have to offer so many that way if one ever get's slow I just switch lanes to what ever brings in the bread at that current moment. Thanks for making this video I't will help a lot of creatives out there see their worth and hopefully follow their dreams.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Student Loans + Learning Curve. I went to school for mechanical engineering, and found out after quitting my first job out of college that I never wanted to work for someone at a "traditional job" ever again. I also realized that I liked engineering school because of the freedom to learn, explore, create. I made a few videos with my phone in school for extracurricular groups I was in, but thought nothing of it, only that it was kind of fun. 2 years later, I picked up a camera and I haven't stopped learning or chasing the dream. Actually quitting my current job TODAY to become a full time filmmaker! I've been driving the same car for nearly 6 years, and rarely go out to eat. I spend most of my waking moments filming, editing, meeting with clients, and lifting/running - I'm a simple man with a dream I am 100% committed to realizing - "I think, therefore I am".

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

Good luck in your filmmaking career!! I hope you kill it!

[@emauf]

Another Mech. Eng here... I see so much of me in your statement. I have a chance to follow my filmmaking dreams full time, there's gear & everything and at the same time am looking at my education and thinking, should I keep applying for engineering jobs? Am a recent graduate by the way and what has kept me in doubt is the fact that I know creative field takes some reputation (time) to pay well. Would I have thrown away my chance at getting experience in engineering field and possibly a chance at future jobs! Ofcourse I am and always will be a film maker, even while studying. I was doing photography and videography.

[@stephenkortzman]

I’m still working the 9-5 (been at CP Rail for 10 years now). The thing with me is that I’m comfortable right now. It’s nice having consistent income. But I’m not necessarily happy because photography/filmmaking is where my heart is. I have a car payment and a mortgage payment, which actually isn’t too high, but it’s definitely weighing me down. I have been fortunate enough to save enough money that I can live comfortably for 1-4 years without working. I have also been in a huge creative rut, so that’s not helping either haha. I’m patient, though. I’ll know when it’ll be the right time. 🙂

[@markaiello]

Great video once again man! For me, what got in my way in the beginning was myself - being too afraid to take risks and not truly listening to my gut feeling to work for myself and put my creative talents to good use.

[@brazyfilms2086]

Samee

[@AlpacoFilms]

Great video bud! Regarding your closing question about what I feel is stopping me. I can say yea I'm older and I've got so much this and that. But, I just can't use that as an excuse anymore. It's just honestly because for the longest time I was scared and had zero will power. I've changed that recently and am pushing forward towards that goal now. You're definitely one of my main sources of inspiration! So thank you bro!

[@fredvibe]

I feel this. Although I am a Filmmaker for a university it’s still the 9 to 5 job. Been watching yourself and FlashFilm Academy to get my grind on 👏🏾 great video

[@IamQrock]

I started my fulltime journey January 2020 right before Covid hit hard in the states. I'm a music creator. It's definitely tough starting off, but I quickly got online and went to various networking events (pre covid... which was about two months) and was able to gage what the people in my area had needs for creatively. Music wasn't a HUGE priority unfortunately here in MN lol However that didn't stop me. I'm a fulltime father and husband as well and we have all the bills that you spoke of in the video, so I had to figure it out. One HUGE thing I did was hopped on Linkedin. I now have a secure monthly income through Storyblocks providing them with royalty free music for their content creators. I also do things in the Sync Licensing world for Tv/Film. Selling beats online is also another avenue as well as youtube. I'm also passionate about creating photography and video as well. I study a TON of your vids as well as Creative Ryan and various others. Things are slowly building up for me, so i'm extremely grateful for the experience and thankful for my wife for trusting me and allowing the opportunity to do what I really love. Blessing ya'll

[@shamardonelson7985]

Man.... Its been a month since i made the decision to chase the creator lifestyle and your videos have been such amazing help. It felt like slow progression in the start and know im seeing growth in my skills and starting to feel confident in sharing my photos or videos with no hesitation. last year i would of over thought it, passed it off, and procrastinated my life away. Keep up the good work my brotha!

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Some great tips here bro, would love to see how you edit the music videos.

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

My main problem with making a living in the creative field is my inability to put myself out there. I am an introvert and have a hard time engaging people as well as communicating. It seems almost frightening to have to ask for money from people to do what I love to do on KZbin and FB for free...

[@rina8208]

I used to be so like that... until my passion became expensive so sb had to pay lol

[@BeWillPhotography]

One step at a time man, keep expanding that little comfort zone, it ll get easier and easier every time !

[@emauf]

It does get easier, theres a good book on how to communicate effectively ''TALK LESS, SAY MORE; Three habits to influence others'' It gives simple steps

[@SincerelyVIIProductions]

This comment is gold

[@SincerelyVIIProductions]

This comment is gold... I feel you I'm so like this but guess what we gotta take that leap and it's scary af but I'm curious as to what could happen if I continue. Hope you put yourself out there more and join this experience. Fyi I was getting anxiety just typing this rn.🤣🤣💀

[@PeterKae]

I'm so hyped to finally start my full time creator lifestyle but a bit afraid as well. Thanks for the Tips!!

[@DRAMAFLS_official]

Y’all been rocking the north face for a while!!😂😂 ......financial responsibility is key!!!

[@KRXOVRmedia]

All of this makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing. Main thing keeping me from going full-time is that I am a grad student and my current goal pays 2/3rds of my tuition. If anything though, it's helping me save up enough to be able to dedicate more time later on.

[@hamoudcine3877]

G! This struggle video is something most can relate.. Personally what’s stopped my creativity is a whole lot of procrastination and thinking to much about the gear I need rather than using what I have ..Thanks again for pushing positivity Bro..

[@ZJHFilms]

Bro these clientele tips are exactly what I've been looking for for the past 2 years. This whole video really. It's like people are afraid to help people nowadays but I'm thankful for ya YC.

[@Matthew.Hoffmann]

Thank you for this. The videos always come at the right time. For me it is working full time and school full time, but I am always improving my creativity when I can. Best decisions I made for myself were my education and buying a camera. The journey is always moving forward.

[@STATXMUSIC]

So inspiring man. Loved hearing about your journey and appreciate all the tips and knowledge you’ve been dropping over the years. I’m legit happy for you that you get to do what you love for a living. Keep it going!!

[@matteotarantino758]

That's crazy cause I'm 19 and I'm exactly where you were. I'm working a kitchen job, going to school, and making films on the side. It seems like everything is going so slowly, I can't wait to get out there to do the work I was born to do, make movies. But I can't help but feel frustrated because so many of my plans are falling through, people don't see my potential and it feels wrong. This video was really inspiring (along w a lot of your other content) because you make it seem achievable, which is always so nice to see as a worn out 19 year old. Thank u

[@UFilmi]

The actively seeking clientele part 💎 Going through this now ! Been finding new artist who don’t have content but good music

[@davidjmund]

You’re one of the most helpful KZbinrs for people in the creative space. Thanks for making our struggles just a little bit easier each and every day, man. (And if you ever need a cinematographer in MI, just let me know 😉)

[@AlexGreif]

Thank you for breaking it down on a simple formula. Now I have to hit up artists!

[@kesmotion]

Diversifying is a big thing. I've just started renting out lighting kit, and I'll be doing freelance gaffer and drone work on the side as well as full videos by the end of the year. Relying on one thing to make money especially when you're under 5 years exp. is key

[@SeanKing804]

I really needed this. I just moved from VA to FL and I’ve been struggling getting off the ground getting clients in a new space. This really put me in a better headspace on how to attack this new life venture!

[@JHawk]

Man great video. This is money for a lot of creators

[@directorfriday]

Man I’m halfway there. It’s the consistency that is killing me . One month I can book 10 videos then the next month I only book 2-3 . I can find that steady pace. My goal is to do 4 a week.

[@kozykev]

Damm bro, 10 videos in one month. I don't know what you shoot & what you charge, but 10 per month sounds like a lot.

[@directorfriday]

@@kozykev ranges from $400-$1500 . But even at 10 a month I need that to be consistent to pay bills and survive.

[@OliverWiehe]

dig the insight - so thoughtful - love how you work in "old footage"

[@Unknownbrianzaste]

So... I am in a serious bind: I crashed my drone and actually looked into Story Blocks because I needed some drone footage in San Francisco for a vlog I am working on... and it turns out they have quite a selection there. I was about to buy it, but I remembered you were sponsored and mentioned them on your last video (this one... which I watched this morning) so I went through your affiliate link.

I’m still looking to build a body of work but now is the best chance I’m gonna have. Young enough to not have TOO many responsibilities but still experienced enough to do something great.

Love this story. Motivational. I also brought a camera to take photos and fell in love with video. Journey has started

[@ScottBMT]

Being 43 years old Leaving a 9-5 job is scary, that said I have been in media since 2005 worked for Fox 13 Tampa until I got replaced by robotic cameras. This was my passion and have never been able to get back in to that line of work at least full time. I would love to have that kinda job again.

[@radicalempire6599]

Time, Responsibilities and Courage. That, stopped me for a long time. The only thing that has really changed is that I'm feeling more confident in my abilities to create. And that gives me the courage to push forward.

[@aportraitontech5218]

Great clip on the bullet points! Very refreshing to see other creators giving the real!

[@jefflarsen9249]

It was tricky for me because I had a wife and two kids before I became a full-time filmmaker, but the weight of supporting a family was what pushed me to have no other option but to be successful with it.

[@OrangePmedia]

This video is definitely on time. The thought of not having secure income to support myself had played a factor but today I’m going full force.

[@TheeHobbyHub]

I’m 22 years old and have been working a 9-5 career since I was 17, it puts on a lot of stress and I’ve always dreamt of becoming a photographer/videographer I finally bought an r6 and some decent glass, shot some weddings at low rates just to get the gigs for experience. It’s starting to take off and these tips help even more I think this is the year I quit my 9-5, fingers crossed Thank you man for all the content you make! You’ve inspired me and I’m sure plenty others.

[@davidlongenecker9414]

Such a good video! The thing that holds me back the most is the drive. I just don’t have the drive and the goals that I need to advance. I just kinda take whatever comes at me… that being said, I’ve been a full time creator for 6 years now.. lol sometimes it just works out 😂

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

So much wisdom and encouragement in just a few minutes of video! Keep inspiring those new filmmakers!!

[@glenkennedy6212]

One thing i would say is being a full time creative doesn't need to mean you have to go full time freelance at the start. You can learn your trade in an environment that gives you an annual salary. Two years out of uni and I have been working for a media and marketing production company, shooting small ads. My 9-5 is mostly editing, some shooting and writing and i get to work in a team and learn from and with people. Not always dream projects but it's a consistent pay cheque. Then i pursue script writing and my own projects on the side. Maybe for you that persona project is building a youtube channel, shooting short films etc.

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

I’ve been doing video Sense old school VHS camcorder. All that you said it’s true. I have a really good job but and hard to walk away from. Good talk

[@maisondegellert]

I am on my way there. Me personally, I think I have no fear of going forward to be a full time creator, but the only thing that holds me back is my own need to be sure that 100% of the work is mine, and sometimes it is difficult to compromise or play it as a "I am paying you so shut up or I will hire someone else". I think my own freedom of creating is more valuable to me.

[@kishanwilliams8379]

This is my favorite video of yours. Super relatable 👌🏾 and I’ve watched plenty of your content before seeing this one lol Thanks for sharing

[@Fidel_Cashflow00]

I'm a writer-director and make films but don't get paid..lol I've written 3 feature films and a bunch of shorts. That's how it is though. You have a regular job to fund your films/art until you can make the right connections to elevate your career to the next level. Do whatever you have to do to pay the bills and keep funding your passion. Those who stick with it, adjust, and keep pushing will find a way to get where they want to go.

[@hankypanky4u]

Quit my job as a Sony rep a couple of months back to pursue my goal as a FT content creator. It has not been easy with a kid and rent but i got a support system from my g.f who does hair and is FT with that and can pay cover the cost for a bit. We love in South Florida so it's not cheap. It's been a journey but I'm still pushing through. My mom passed away a couple of weeks ago and I had to cancel on two clients but again it's part of the journey. Anyone who is a believer and good at what you do fucking do it. If you got bills and such save up for 6 months worth of rent ON TOP of doing clients. It's possible but you HAVE to out yourself in uncomfortable situations like going out and cold calling, emailing, eating canned foods, telling "friends" you're saving up for more life and so on. Regardless i wanna give all my content creation friends a big a shout out especially YC who's been %100.

[@juwancaesar]

Financial responsibility definitely is STILL stopping me from going full time! I moved out of my dorms and went straight to living with my fiance. Now we bought a house in our hometown (Miami) so even more financial responsibility on top of that lol. I have been actively trying to chase the full time filmmaker/model dream while working a full time job. It's tough, but I'm on the way! I also been dipping my toe into making KZbin videos to see what value I can provide at this point. Great video bro!

Hey man first of all thanks for your great content, I have been in your channel since you were using your gh5, the first review I saw was your g85 review, really great info really helpful, and I think the only thing that stops me is consistency, sometimes is really hard to find good content, and youtube sometimes can be discouraging but let's see, I think that's a battle every creator have in the early beginnings

Health Wealth and Prosperity to all the viewers. This came at a great time. Even though I left my job years ago, I've been making it this far but, I want to drive more into the creator space in multiple multiple avenues. Finding clients that want to pay was the hardest thing for me as a photographer. Just as you mentioned, I fell in love with video when I chose to take on that challenge. #oneframeatatime

[@HollyHargreaves]

I hate the 9-5 too!

[@LuiEvoHiro]

The only thing stopping me from going full time is my current job. I made over six figures last year because of the pandemic (tons of overtime). However, I've just been investing in gear and trying to network. I've had a few sets where people just stop and watch or I'll get mad love from people in the community. That to me is crazy because I'm rarely working with clients except for the people I know. Anyway your vid's are always helpful and I'd love to have a little more freedom and flexibility as a creator. Thanks again

I'm not yet a full-time creator because I am still in high school. I have started to pick up a lot more jobs recently, but with university coming, I feel I will not have as much time to work towards my goal of becoming a full-time creator. So I would say the main thing holding me back is school, if you have any tips for me, I would love to hear them!

Such great real life practical advice. I appreciate it !
