Here's how to make your first $10,000 as a videographer.

Here's how to make your first $10,000 as a videographer. Step one, pitch a free video to a local business that clearly needs better content. Step two, deliver something simple but professional. The main thing is to focus on showing them how video can help bring them more customers. Step three, if they like your free video, then propose a monthly package based on your skill level and their needs. For example, you can pitch anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 a month for anywhere from 15 to 30 pieces of content on their social media pages. Explain how this saves them time while bringing in more customers. You'd be surprised by how many businesses say yes when they see the potential ROI. Step four, once you lock in that first paying client, deliver them amazing results. Use their testimonial and the videos as a case study to pitch to other businesses. Happy clients will refer you to others, especially if your work drives results. This strategy got me to my first 10,000 and it'll work for you too.
