Bro, I’ve been shooting videos for almost a decade - events, performances, weddings, product shoots, studio shoots, music videos, coverage and corporate videos. Whats funnier is that I use Google maps really heavily to get around and discover places. I literally just did what u did google real estate agents near me, and got a meeting set! It gets more easier with the experience that i’ve accumulated. Thank u for sharing ur knowledge! Hope to meet u someday

Hey Ross I found this video on my KZbin feed a few minutes ago and I’m super glad! Earlier this week, I finished my first ever video project and uploaded it here on KZbin (it’d be awesome if you checked it out!). Based on the experience I gained from this shoot and the feedback I’ve received in the past 3 days on Instagram and KZbin, I’ve decided to go all in and make this my profession. However I’ve been a fair bit befuddled as I couldn’t quite figure out what to do next. Your video has provided me with heaps of clarity. I’m gonna start building my portfolio website and begin reaching out to small businesses around me now. I’ll surely be binging your channel first, thank you so much for putting out such great advice, it makes a lot of sense. Best of luck!

[@travisminneapolis]

ALWAYS HAVE NDA's/NON-COMPETE DOCUMENTS! I've worked with many freelancers over the years and eventually, on a LONG time client, I brought a new person in to help cover a last minute gig. -- guess what? They then "gave the client their info" and tried booking work directly for future projects... Thankfully I told them that's not cool, I told them that it would be titled "poaching a client" and they agreed to not work with the client or take work. Guess what? 99% of the time freelancers all do NDA with me using an online e-sign. But this one slipped through the cracks because it was getting sorted out the night before the shoot and we didn't know if it was even gonna really happen until the day of... Don't risk a good long-term client to a freelancer unless they sign an NDA. And a well written one will have a non-compete of say 12 or 24 months, rolling based on the last payable day of work for your company.

[@matthewperkins3036]

Ross! I've worked in the audio production business for the last six or seven years, and have launched multiple successful businesses. Loving your way of approaching things as I have used similar methods to scale a guitar teaching studio I built to solid six figures and long wait list. I've been working with video the last few years both as a hobby and for freelance work and am definitely looking at using it as an asset for my audio production company. Great content man! Loving your channel!

[@JoshuaKrell]

I really resonate with narrowing your core service offerings. I found when I started out a music studio as a multi instrumentalist I tried to teach guitar, piano, bass, music production. It was SOOOOO much work and stress. I stripped to just guitar focus for marketing and within a year I had 60 longterm clients every week.

[@javierescalante83]

The retairner based model is great but when you're starting up and don't have access to clients that can't pay a retainer, it doesn't work. Additionally, a retainer model only works in places like the UK or US. In other places you still have to price per project, so the focus becomes generating leads every month. That and closing sales is where most businesses struggle. Perhaps talking about strategies to do this is more important than a class on retainer based model. At least I know I'd be more interested in that.

[@RossWelch]

Hey dude, I appreciate the comment. We currently have students in over 15 countries using this model so it can be done. Of course, its going to be easier in some locations than others but it's possible. Anyone can gain access to clients on a retainer too. There are loads of small businesses who this works best for too because they are the ones who need consistent social content. The reason it's so important too is because of the reliability. That said I 100% understand the need for one off projects. No business should have 100% retainers or 100% one off projects. I really appreciate the comment dude and I've added this to my list of videos to create too 😊🙌 keep pushing and you'll get some retainers for sure!

[@braveclyde]

Hi Ross. Those are very valuable tips. I've also us Google maps and Linked In to look for clients. Where I live, most small to mid-sized companies don't want to pay for services. They only find value on tangible things like machineries, computers, etc. This is why some companies that I like to offer my services to already do video themselves. They usually just give the job to someone in the marketing or HR department so they don't have to pay. How do I convince these companies to outsource video production? Thanks!

[@RossWelch]

Hey! Thanks for the message! There are 2 options, look outside of your area or try and convince them. The best way of convincing them is to show them what you can do. Maybe ask how much would they be willing to pay too. You might not be miles apart 🤞
