Hey everyone! This is one of my favorite videos to date because of how much incredible information is here! Someone asked me recently what I would do differently if I started my boudoir business over from the very beginning. Before I had a website or had shot my first session as a beginner photographer, what would I recommend as a place to start. Shoot a lot, get a solid boudoir brand, get some boudoir albums as samples to show your clients, spend some money on education, don't waste your money on too much gear, figure out your why and figure out how you market best and double down on it!

Once you mentioned Simon Sinek, I knew I would be re-watching this video and taking notes, then going to your channel to watch more.

[@DaveSincere]

Let me say.. I just found your page this week and I'm binging on all your videos. Clear, concise, straight to the point videos. Great work!!! Love it!

[@MichaelSasser]

You're welcome!

[@msmikky926]

Me too

[@VanessaDegarmo]

Me three lol

[@karingraley2473]

I’m so happy I have found your channel! You speak my language.Straight to the point and concise👍🏼🤓Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@MichaelSasser]

SO happy to hear that Karin!

[@otisrobertson3086]

Michael I have been enjoying your content for a while, but this video is by far my favorite. The six photoshoot in seven days was a good tip. I don't shoot boudoir, though I have thought about it, I primarily shoot beauty portraits, but it all works the same. Good stuff man.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad it helped!

[@Angrykitty82]

Can i just say thank you!!! Im doing my first boudoir shoot today after years of portraits, weddings etc. , i found your videos a week ago, you helped me feel like I can do this and offer a quality shoot. Thank you!!!!!

[@MichaelSasser]

I hope it went amazing!

[@tonylawton6513]

You have a good style and easy to follow tips unlike other people you just get straight to the point with good tips and advice, thankyou for sharing your knowledge, ive only been photographing for 40 years so im still learning and boudoir is a style ive never given enough time to, now i have stumbled across you im eager to learn more.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad to hear it Tony! Thanks for the kind words and I'm eager to share more information!

[@maiarobinson3931]

The first thing I did before the new year was use tailor brands to get a logo and everything set up. Thanks for the tips

[@tlerew12]

Michael, you are also passionate about teaching-- and all of us are very well served by your work. Thank you!

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks so much Tim!

[@ashleykeffer4567]

So I’m very very new. I haven’t had a real photo shoot yet. I have always taken pictures but now I have an actual nice camera and I’m learning how to use it. I have taken several online classes and came across your videos. I LOVE them. Just started today and already learned a lot. I live in a VERY small town where everyone knows each other. And there are like 5 photographers around here already. One boudoir photographer (personal I think her pictures are terrible) but people know her so they go to her. I’ve only lived here for two years and struggle with getting out there and being super social. I’m trying but I get a lot of “maybes” then nothing. I’m still trying though and I know with watching these videos I’ll learn even more and have amazing pictures.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad to hear you're getting started! Just do one thing at a time. It will grow! People will start to know you and see how good your pictures are. I believe in you!

[@Alex_science]

Great tips. This is the best boudoir photo channel I found on internet. Congrats from Brasil.

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks! 😃

[@sadrailally]

thas a lot information, thats why i hit subscribe button, like button and put my comment here.. you awesome sasser!

[@MichaelSasser]

I appreciate that!

[@patriotarmament7407]

Bro: I absolutely love your videos. I appreciate you very much. Please never quit your amazing work.

[@TyphanyGarcia]

This is my first time hearing the word “ “boudoir” , never knew that was the name of this style ,,, this to me is a private celebration of a woman’s femininity, the moment to almost break out into this beautiful celebration of her body , wow! I feel left out ,, I love all the darker photos ! Great vid

[@PauloParreira]

So glad you work with a portuguese company

[@gamingwithstand6886]

I agree with you get the 50mm if you are just starting out with gear and on a budget. But if you are buying a camera see if you can get a camera with a kit lens might cost the same used or a little. Sometimes you just need to go a little wider.

[@dat2ra]

I have my own dedicated studio that I use and rent out. I am way past the age of starting a photography business so I shoot for fun and a ew bucks. To me, the issue with starting out now is not what to do but how not to become overwhelmed by all the options, choices, and products.

[@dannaalcocer-howey5026]

Yup starting from the very beginning again. Been shooting my whole life. Just need to stand out on a ledge and buy my best tool. Last two cameras lol 40DX 🤣 It’s gonna be one camera, one lens this time. 2020. ( brand, website, sample albums ) Awesome. Ok jumpin in. ( lol waiting on taxes ) Mastermind group. SWEET

[@marlonatienzafilmphotograp6278]

Inspirational. Great video Michael.

[@MichaelSasser]

Thank you!

[@redmirror2159]

Wow, you have King Soopers in LA? Lol - Great stuff Micheal!

[@romiemiller7876]

How about a video on photography contracts, what's in them for boudoir, etc. How do you manage payment, prepaid packages & individual prints, etc. paid at order?

[@slpianoproject]

Omg this channel is a gem! Very good work and info from a true photographer! Subbed

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks so much!

[@kandilash2384]

Great advice and knowledge for newbies! I’m binging on all your videos. Thank you 😊

[@a2lexandra]

Hi from France. Txs a lot for sharing this video. It help me a lot. ( Sorry for my bad english 🙈)

[@davehenderson9105]

Thanks for the info. I was able to take some solid info from this video. I need more paying photoshoots and I will order some albums because I don't have sample albums! which is crazy now that I think about it!!! Also I need to narrow down my website as well because right now it just looks like I do a bunch of things. Thanks again!

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad you got some good stuff from it Dave, good luck!

[@JeffCreates]

Really helpful stuff, even if you change the word "boudoir" to anything other type of photography. Helps a lot, thanks

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks for such a nice comment Jeff! I really appreciate it. I think so much advice can be passed from business to business and not in the same category, so I'm glad it was helpful!

[@EchoAlpha]

Great tips. Especially the sample albums

[@NOSUCHVideos]

Great tips. It applies to a broad range of creative pursuits. 👍🏼

[@KimC-vk5qp]

OMG! Great video! I'm no longer working. But when I started my wedding business back in '03, I wasted a good $20K on crap I sold for half price 6 months later. Wish I had asked someone actually shooting weddings to get some good advice.

[@MichaelSasser]

We all make mistakes along the way, just need to learn from them!

[@ukr4ever]

This is an excellent video, very professional and clear advice. Thank you.

[@MichaelSasser]

You're welcome!

[@neil563]

Great video Michael, super helpful.

[@timrosenthal46]

Fantastic advice, thanks again Michael ..

[@MichaelSasser]

My pleasure!

[@EightTwoFourWeddingStudios]

I've watched this video a couple times now and every time I do, it invigorates me try something new and attack my business in another way

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey Mark, that is so awesome to hear!

[@kealaronald]

Thank you so much for your videos, I have been watching so many. I have no experience but am just running with it. I connected to a local photographer who will help me out. I wanted to ask, is there a video on talking about editing? I’m mostly nervous for this. I seen one where you say stick to one editing style for a month and (check) will do this. But where do i even edit? And how big of a memory card do i need for a session? Thanks in advance for all your help. I’m buying your contract this Friday. I have friends and family to model for me but will recreate the process as though they are paying clients for practice.

[@MichaelSasser]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaHWopx6rLCFm9E is it!

[@albertocabrera6614]

Micheal, I really needed this video. I mean I really needed it. I am trying to restart my business and I have been getting a few request for Boudoir. I believe I can do boudoir exclusively for my photography business. Thank you sir. Your videos have been so helpful.

[@MichaelSasser]

So happy to hear it Alberto! I wish you the very best of luck!

[@jimothybikael]

"Don't go broke on getting gear" If only I saw this last week 😔

[@TEMTECKPHOTOGRAPHY]

Great info for sure this will help my photography business.

[@fremontmike123]

Thanks for the advice.

[@ticky6254]

I would just like to say I love how straight to the point you videos are!!! Very informative and quick! I’ve discovered boudoir a few years ago and something about just had me drawn to it. I’ve been thinking of starting my own business. Any tips on a decent camera that won’t make me go broke?😅

[@michaelricks1618]

Great tips. Thanks Michael!

[@MichaelSasser]

You're Welcome!

[@alricfarmer]

Hi Machael. I currently setting up my tropical bath space and boudoir room, thanks for all the helpful videos. I wanted to do the bath shoots but was so one tracked mind and wanted to do it indoor and by a fancy Victorian bath tub.

[@MichaelSasser]

That is awesome!

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

Awesome tips, being looking to start a business, but only have a Nikon d610 and 50mm 1.8. I am all set with GAS

[@MichaelSasser]

You're pretty set for boudoir!

[@FWMkibwe]

Thank you so much! I’m now Starting in my Boudoir Business and thank you so much! For this

[@Barrrt]

Hi Michael, these weeks I'm working on my website but I'm starting to feel lonely and unmotivated because I didnt book any work. But if I book work I will no longer work on my website. I guess I just wanna share that dilemma and mostly just check if you've ever bumped into 'motivational problems' like that and how do you get real with yourself in cases like that. My site will be f*cking gold by the way, WHEN I've finished it 😅 Very 'why'/mission driven.

[@MichaelSasser]

All the time! I talked about it on my Italy Q&A. My recommendation is to congratulate yourself on things non results based, but action based. Get amped that you finished your website, what an accomplishment! It's a piece of the puzzle to book more clients. Think of it this way and you'll keep moving.

[@Barrrt]

@@MichaelSasser dude thanks so much for getting back to me! That means a lot. It's so weird about entrepeneurship how you sort of have to build momentum all by yourself. So it helps a lot to know I'm not the only one who sometimes runs into the spiderwebs of doubt. Warm regards and thanks again.

[@rytacarms]

Would love to see a video on what to do as a beginner, if you don’t have a place to shoot outside/aside of your own supplied home

[@BlakeMadsen]

I agree that'd be super helpful

[@MichaelSasser]

RyanRodriguez Fitness hey Ryan! I cover all the best options in my course, but the basics are Airbnb, hotels, peer space and similar. It costs some money but can be worth it

[@TamaraRoberts]

Most cities have studio space for rent by the day....150.00 is average, totally worth it to build your portfolio.

[@douglasbrowne362]

great video, awesome advice. I'm just leaving behind the regular portrait work/weddings and landscapes to focus strictly on Boudoir and this video gave me some great pointers to help my start :)

[@MichaelSasser]

Good to hear and good luck with it!

[@harryhole4427]

Gold mine of information really enjoy your videos. Thankyou.

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks Harry!

[@MF.Productions]

Good advice Michael. I started with the kit lens back then and thought the package was a bargain, so for me a lesson learnt to buy body only. My Sony full frame also lets me go into crop via custom button so the 50mm 42mp also is a 75mm with great resolution 18mp.

[@FranckChevallereau]

Thank you so much for this vidéo :) I guess it's userful and precious not only in boudoir photography but in everything in life ^^

[@91364Steve]

Thank you for this great video. I'm still sorting out where my singular focus should land, but thankfully the field is getting narrower.

[@MichaelSasser]

It helps to shoot a lot to realize what you do and don't love about each. It takes time, but specializing can make things very profitable!

[@kurtisca]

Awesome video - 100% value from start to finish - Thanks for sharing this.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nicolacooper6728]

Thank you, super helpful

[@MrArvayo666]

I am very impressed with your work Sir. I am a begginer and I live in a small community by the border, south of Tucson, Arizona. I would like to subscribe to your tutorials but one question I have is : should I start by advertising for photoshoots in local Facebook community groups or do you think that a waste? Thank you!

[@samanthawhitney9302]

Hi Michael, your videos have been so helpful. I have only had my camera for a few months and have been doing mostly family portraits and kids. So boudoir is an entirely different avenue but I'm super excited to try it. I have 4 friends willing to be my first models, yay!! My question, do you ever do sessions with larger women? I used to be 100 pounds heavier and since I've lost so much weight I really want to reach out to bigger ladies and empower them to embrace who they are. They deserve the right to feel beautiful about themselves too. Just looking for some tips on how to make them feel comfortable.

[@MichaelSasser]

Hello Samantha! I love to hear you're jumping right into it! I think we focus too much on the difference between weight sizes. I've photographed curvier women who owned it, and I've photographed thin women who were ultra insecure and nothing I could say would get them to accept their beauty. If you go into with the wanting to better their lives like you just said... You're beautiful, you deserve to feel beautiful and you are perfect the way you are, let me show you... You will be able to empower them through the process. Check out instagram.com/vcboudoir Her words are very inspiring. Best of luck!

[@steinrimbaut9736]

Just wanted to say: "thanks, for making me a better photographer!"

[@MichaelSasser]

You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing!

[@TamaraRoberts]

I love your way of talking and your info is great! What is it YOU believe that your clients also believe!?

[@MichaelSasser]

Great question Tamara! The biggest one is that every woman/person has the right to feel beautiful. It is something we rob ourselves of. You should feel like you have value. There are many more, but that was the lightbulb moment for me. What about you?!

[@TamaraRoberts]

wow, the right to feel beautiful.....never would have thought of that one, but it's so true. I'm going to have to find a quiet moment to give this some thought. Thank you Michael for sharing that.

[@kriskreates2931]

Hey Michael. How do you talk to or assure women who are insecure or not comfortable with their bodies?

[@MichaelSasser]

That is tough! Do some reading and researching on the reasons and how to talk about this subject. Be encouraging, but also listen. Everyone is growing and working on themselves all the time.

[@MariaMunoz-rz1nz]

As always, great advice! Thanks for all the encouragement you give us! Also I would like to know more about SEO.

[@MichaelSasser]

There is a TON of information online about SEO, I'm not great at it which is why I hired it out. But there are lots of resources to get you started.

[@dilfill]

Awesome video. My biggest struggle is getting clients. I live in Palm Springs and there isn't a great market here. 😁

[@MichaelSasser]

There is ALL kinds of money in Palm Springs. I'll bet there is a market there, but it is a quirky place, so I'm not sure how to to break into it. Don't let that stop you though!

[@aaronthomas9163]

My man dropping nuggets like McDonald’s! I don’t do Boudoir but I want to link with you and shoot whenever I’m in L.A.

[@MichaelSasser]

Haha, hit me up when you're in town!

[@aaronthomas9163]

Michael Sasser will do!

[@nancygreindl2203]

Awesome advice, love your message and I’m off to create a brand! How exciting

[@shawnspears-vilk7730]

EXCELLENT content, thanks!

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad you liked it!

[@jessestarks3128]

Great advice especially related to gear. I'd recommend for the first (gear) purchase a body with a standard zoom i.e. 24-70 or equivalent. Also the point of practicing and not just educating oneself is another great piece of advice. I'm not a professional but I do have a shooting planned for the coming Saturday.

[@VICTORIAFful]

We appreciate all your videos and all your tips . Thank you so much!!

[@tomislavmiletic_]

I agree with everything you had said except with a topic of specialising; that might work in L.A. or N.Y. or whatever but if you live in some lousy part of the world that's not an option, on the contrary...

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey Tomislav! Thanks for watching. Let me ask you this. How many clients do you a year to support yourself? 50? 75? Sometimes we think we have to shoot everyone to be successful. If you think there are 75 people each year within 30 miles of where you are who want your portrait services, you can specialize. You don't have to, but it worked for me here in LA, and it worked for me in Denver, and I know 100 other boudoir photographers in cities around the US who it works for.

[@tomislavmiletic_]

@@MichaelSasser I live in SE Europe, and I could have over 150 clients a year if I would shoot for free. Photographers are not appreciated at all over here. To tell you the truth, maybe I could get more clients, but I'd need more time for all things you talked about, but currently I can't because of my day job sadly.

[@Alisasmith_]

So helpful. Thank you sincerely

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad it was helpful!

[@romiemiller7876]

Hey!!! You no drinka coffee? What's matta you? ;-/ * Seriously, you're right about the difference in King Supers and Starbucks coffee being logo and brand. When Mercurys were still being made by Ford, you could buy a part in a Ford dealer for $10, the Mercury dealer would sell the same part for $17, and the Lincoln dealer would sell the same part for $25. Oh, I buy the Kroger coffee at King Supers because it tastes as good as any other for about 1-2 to 1/3 of the fancy branded coffee. But you wouldn't know about that. Coffee's good for you! It makes your hair white and teeth curly, or something like that.

[@starttofinishmediaco.2520]

LOTS of good info! thanks!!!

[@TANZANIAFILMMAKINGTV]

subscribed you sold me out with tones valuable info thanks

[@jordie_locks]

Question that no one seems to talk about.... what do you ask your clients to bring or what do you offer clients to wear?!?! I'm in a small Mormon town where people think you have to be nearly naked to do boudoir.

[@MichaelSasser]

Hello Jordenne, this starts with you educating the client. Show them your pictures as examples and how they don't actually have to be naked. Explain it on your website, talk to them about it when you are on the phone or in person. There is so much educating your client that goes into this because they don't know what they are really getting into at first. Hope that helps!

[@hernandez42986]

Amazing video with tons of value. I am having a bit of an issue getting clients. I have offered to shoot with them a quick mini session to build rapport and I get nada. What would you do?

[@MichaelSasser]

This is easily the hardest part! I have some content about this coming out soon, but the basic idea is you have to make it something they might miss out on. You're offering mini shots to two women only, this month, and then you're going to charge XXXX, if they are interested, message you back fast because you've really out to a lot of people. Let me know how that works!

[@hernandez42986]

Thanks for the reply I will give it a shot and give you feed back on the results.

[@BigphatphotosCoUkPhotography]

Hey Michael that is so helpful , I will be watching all your tips........My husband and I are wedding photographers , we are always getting asked do we do boudoir? After a few years my husband booked me on a couple of workshops with The Yerburys UK I fell in love with this kind of photography, now setting it all up to launch early next year.......so excited Janie

[@MichaelSasser]

So excited about your new journey! Definitely keep in touch and let me know how your progress goes!

[@alexgrebench2186]

Thank you for the great video! May I ask a quick question? So let’s say I have a camera but I don’t have a studio... what would be the best way of controlling the light on location and dressing the set so to speak?

[@MichaelSasser]

don't fight it. Use it. Whatever the light is doing, use that to your advantage.

[@beatBoxbam]

Thanks a lot for this video, it pack with simple and easy presentation yet it gave me full of impact at my head

[@elliotlee4157]

Thank you, that was some really good/helpful advice, that can be applied to many different businesses.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@jseboudoir]

Do you use a 24-70 f2.8? Or do you find it doesn't have enough low light capability?

[@IvorTettehLartey]

Regarding albums What size of album do clients like best, asking this because I have been recommended to show 8x8 in albums. I prefer 12x12.

[@MichaelSasser]

Most get an 8x8 or 10x10

[@Miguel-Human]

Why not APC cameras to start? Why full frame Michael?

[@beautymarksboudoir8300]

Are the floricolor albums drag and drop opr do you need a template designer program to use theirs? Thank you for sharing what you use. I currently use Zno and was looking into other options. xoxo T

[@MichaelSasser]

I haven't used their album builder, I always use Smart albums and I can't recommend them enough!

[@NoSomosAmigos]

Good tips, thanks Michael.

[@MichaelSasser]

You're welcome!

[@BlakeMadsen]

Great video and even better advice! You're very easy to watch and listen to. The biggest thing I struggle with is how to set up boudoir/glamour photoshoots when I don't have my own space as well as finding models interested in this sort of photography, I'm too nervous to approach people outside of my friend group without having a portfolio established!

[@MichaelSasser]

Blake thanks Blake! Not having your own space is tough, but it can be done! Rent Airbnb, check peerspace, hotels, friends place. And I cover this in my course, button finding people to shoot, basically what I said at the end of this video, instagram, model mayhem, friends of friends, Facebook groups. Your going to have to put yourself out there a little bit if you want this to happen!

[@BlakeMadsen]

@@MichaelSasser Sorry I just saw this! You're right, it's really more of a mental roadblock than anything. Thanks again for your advice and motivation :)

[@kevinqueen6246]

Any advise on setting up those initial photo-shoots? How do you get folks to buy into something unproven?

[@MichaelSasser]

You have a few options, but the simple answer is that it is a numbers game. Message a ton of people, show them examples of what you want to shoot. Watch my how to find models video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3THioNqrsqYo9k

[@thomasbeaver1]

Great videos. Question: Who hosts your web site? Squarespace?, Wix? I ask this because I know you recommend SEO and I think web hosting might matter. I haven't heard you mention that. Thanks for all that you do. I am getting my Boudoir started.

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey Thomas! I use Squarespace. I don't know which is best. I think if you know more about web, then Wordpress is best. But if not, squarespace is best. Hope that helps!

[@martinmatok3390]

Thank again for the advices, I like your humor. Of course we want to see more similar videos like this.

Can you make a video about pricing your work? I feel like as a beginner I’m probably not charging enough but I also know I can’t charge as much as more qualified photographers.

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey Marissa! I actually have a 20 minute video on how to price yourself in my boudoir accelerator 2.0 course. Check that out here! www.boudoircourses.com/courses/boudoir-accelerator-course

[@brazilianwaxingboutique821]

You’re great at what you do! I love the advice you give! Thank you 😊

[@MichaelSasser]

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!

Hi! I'm new to your channel and I'm also binge watching your videos. Quick question: I'm launching my business soon and I have a partnership with a real estate brokerage to photograph their properties, that's mainly how my business is gonna get started (because I was a real estate agent with academic photography experience and I used to photograph all of our properties). But I feel SOOO drawn to boudoir, but I've never done it :( Do you think it's possible to do both and still market yourself on both fronts? Other photogs are welcome to reply as well!

[@renatolerro]

Iris, vou te responder em português pq vi que é brasileira. Dá pra vc trabalhar com as duas áreas da fotografia sim, mas minha recomendacao é vc separar em duas marcas diferentes, cada uma com seu site, perfil de rede social, etc. pois os seus consumidores para cada um dos nichos vao ser muito diferentes. (editando pq vi que é portuguesa, nao brasileira).

[@MichaelSasser]

Renato is right, separate the brands so people who are looking for real estate will find it, and people who are looking for boudoir will find it too.

[@Nobodytoday12]

I’m binging your videos lol thank you sir

[@MichaelSasser]

Yesssss, I love to hear this.

[@artursandwich1974]

I'm really good at whining, complaining, staying away from people, and being horrible at understanding internet technology and social media formats. How do I implement this to help my business grow? I haven't yet mentioned how terrific I am at procrastination, laziness and despairing. PS. As usual, good advice, great video. More helpful to US-based photographers, but the general idea is to universal.

[@MichaelSasser]

Haha, you're going to do great!

[@JonPais]

you are so awesome, Michael.

[@aa-uk6ev]

Great advice ..Thank you! I am starting a new portfolio (Bourdoir) and found this helpful. Just one question. Did you pay for the first girls you photographed for a show of work, this seems to be my most difficult hurdle to cross. Should I pay for models or are there other ways? My question really "How do you get girls to work (trust) with you when you have nothing to show?"

[@MichaelSasser]

Good question Marco! You can certainly pay for models. It is the easiest way to make sure you get someone in front of your camera. Ask around a lot, friends, friends of friends, instagram etc. You will get a lot of "no's" but you will also get some "yes's". There is more information about it in my course if you decide your ready for that step. Hope that helps!

[@dannaalcocer-howey5026]

Good info ty

[@scarletevans2775]

What kind of cameras would you recommend for beginners on a budget? I was looking at the cannon powershot sx 420 but not sure

[@MichaelSasser]

Good question! I think a used 6d and a 50mm 1.8 would do great to start. Under 1k and you'd have the look of all the fancy cameras.

[@lyoncamerastraps7488]

Amazing Information Micheal !! Thanks for sharing !!

[@pierrerequillart4929]

Awesome, thank you very much

[@davidromano2421]

Hi Michael, thanks for the video. I looked into the vendors you suggested for albums. My images are primarily black and white and it's always a challenge finding companies that can print b&w well. ZNO looked great until I asked about their b&w printing. (I did not ask Floricolor) Are you able to get good quality b&w from anyone? If they use color photo paper, the gray balance is never right. Thanks.

[@MichaelSasser]

I'm not sure David! I rarely print black and white. I hope you find what you're looking for. I would just do a google search for that specific kind of printing. Good luck!

[@DrewofDonuts]

Thank you for the awesome videos! I had a question regarding your two courses - are they living video serious (as in, you update them with more content), or are they as is?

KZbin Main great question! The courses are as is. It’s possible that I could update them with more info, but not likely. The accelerator course is already an update of a course I released earlier this year. I hope that answers your question! If you purchase it and then have questions, fe free to reach out to me and I’ll be happy to answer them!
