This is absolutely amazing!! There is nothing like this out there. This is so essential, especially for new passionate videographers who just want to jump into projects but don't have the slightest clue where to start when it comes to the business side of things. This video is so helpful not just for the contract but the experiences you've had and the situations you've been through that now we can look out for and be prepared. I have purchased the template!!

[@MichaelDrowley]

Thanks so much CJ! Keep charging with your video career and glad it’s helped you my friend

[@dan_does_nothing]

This is amazing mate. subscribed and purchased. It honestly took me so much searching of google and KZbin for even just a basic template that was somewhat applicable to my videography business. this is more than I could have hoped for and it is cheap as!!! Thank you so much :)

[@MichaelDrowley]

You’re welcome Dan! Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it

[@perrinmedia]

[@MichaelDrowley]

Thank you so much! Glad it brought you value. Really appreciate it

[@BrisbaneChannel]

@@MichaelDrowley No, thank you! Just what I was thinking about today, and it popped up in my feed (admittedly I had been researching various business topics on YT, and have been subscribed to your channel for ages). Perfect timing, and a very reasonable investment to benefit from something you've worked on and tweaked over the years to avoid experiencing some potential issues that you've encountered!

[@Joyhouse_Creative]

This is great! Unfortunately the link to your contract copy does not work. Can you provide a new link?

[@MichaelDrowley]

Yes, I will sort my web subscription for you now!

[@MichaelDrowley]

Just reinstated it for you! Good luck with putting together your contract!
