TRANSPARENCY, I LOVE IT. You're awesome. Right now, you have 5.93K subscribers and I can't wait to see the first 100K. You are so generous with your knowledge and you make it so simple and doable. Big like and support for you and I can't wait to see your success with this channel. THANK YOU

[@joshuamedia]

I've been running a small team of creatives as a media & marketing company for 7 years. THIS VIDEO has more value than anything or anyone I've spoken to (lot's and lot's of people) in those years! I have been shifting the business over the past 6 months and have been pulling together some of these parts but haven't release the new branding and funnel to anyone as I keep getting stuck thinking about having it all before launching. One thing that has been hard has been how different the business model seemed to other businesses, so the conversations always seemed to point away from our offerings. Today LUA MEDIA is coming alive and I will iterate the remaining changes throughout 2024! Thank you...

[@realmcafee]

euphoric. how can you call this video good^^ greetings from someone who knows c++.

[@lizajeanparr2313]

Honestly this makes me feel so much less overwhelmed. Thank you SO much!!

[@RoamingAna]

Anna, your content and attitude are life changing. It helped me gain so much more confidence as a new freelancer, spot gaps in my knowledge and begin to create a process that helps both me and my clients. You've saved me months if not years of my life - thank you.

[@QueenMissRose]

It is CRAZY to me that you only have 900 subs, the detail is insane! You literally lay it ALL out there. AND giving us your resources for free.

[@thegreatestyoutubeuser]

I’m interested in starting a video editing business too, tips?

[@withsubhamdigital]

@@thegreatestyoutubeuser Tip 1: IF YOU DONT HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW EDITING WORKS - YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH HOW THE PROCESS OF EDITING GOES THEN COMES TO THE PRICING PART - REASEARCH THE MARKET BY DIGGING INTO SOME TOP 5 FREELANCING PLATFORMS: FIVERR, UPWORK, FREELANCER, ETC. SEE HOW THE PRICING OF VIDEOS ARE BEING CHARGED AND FOR WHAT QUALITY OF VIDEO. TIP 2: BUILD A PORTFOLIO OF YOUR WORKS LIKE WHICH YOU ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE EDITING STYLE, SOME EDITORS FOCUSES ONLY ON DOCUMENTARIES, WHILE SOME FOCUSES ON SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS, Pixar style animation, etc. Tip 3: CREATE SYSTEMS - client's onboarding process, what will be your primary and secondary payment methods, FAQs, testimonials, your previous work experience, TIP 4: Marketing: THE SIMPLEST BUT NOT EASY PART - Create OMNICHANNEL MARKETING STRATGEY, DONT JUST RELY ON ONE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM BUT HAVE OMNI PRESENCE - CREATE ATLEAST 6 VIDEOS SHOWING WHAT YOU DO - IF YOUR WORK IS GREAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CLIENTS IN FIRST 7 DAYS. Tip5: if you have big competitors - dont fight you will end up in decreasing your profits - instead collaborate with them. there's hell loit of things - this comment section is too small to discuss.

Thanks for this clear and detailed video. Duplicated the notion workbook template that you shared in the description and I'm I'm trying to fill in the offer template but I can't access the base rate per project section. It says: You don't have access to the database referenced by this view How do I get around this?

[@drgregoryhouse1470]

I have a question about the niche topic, I am happy about every opinion I can get. So you said find a niche and be an expert in it, which makes totally sense. I like to design the overall corporate identity of companies and especially webdesign. But for a good webdesign there is a need for a styleguide/branding guideline. So I approached it this way. I put the webpart into the center and tell i offer everything about the web, which means: branding (build color palette to build web on, logo which can be used on the website), Image/Photo Editing for creating images for the web, Videos, which can be used in the hero section and even 3D-Models, which can be build into websites (3d-models are kind of our hobbyhorse). What do you think about this approach? Is it to broad? Does it not appear professional (mentioning your sushi example)? I also want to add, that sometimes for companies it is convenient to get everything out of one hand, meaning they dont need to find a photographer, the dont need to find an animator for the video on the hero section, they get everything out of one hand, which is a selling point. Isn't that the purpose of an agency in some way? I'm curious about your opinions and would be happy to read some.
