How to Go From Freelancer to running a Video Production Company

Does running ads compare to cold calling in terms of effectiveness? Media buying can be very expensive depending on the platform

great value!

How much will the course cost

What's the app?

Any chance of a video for an in-house shooter/editor looking to transition into freelance or production company. I have years of experience shooting and editing with an ad agency, but have no experience pitching, networking, managing financials, etc.

Wow, thank you for this checklist! What I like about you is that you say what needs to be said about the industry.

Saj you the man!!! thank you so much you knowledge is immeasurable :)

What are some of the niche routes to take, when I hear that I mostly think of commercial marketing content and wedding videos. Can you give me some insight on some other markets you would suggest getting involved in? Also do you ever sell your footage as stock video/photography?

New to your channel and the content looks great. Just wondering if you’ve ever covered business licenses and liability/business insurance? The stuff that you may or may not need in order to legally work. I know it’s not sexy but it’s important for small businesses.

What if I don’t want to go the production company route? At the end of the day, I still wanna be an artist and progress as a cinematographer, director, producer, writer, and in the future, get picked up for high-end commercials, music videos, TV series, Hollywood, etc. I don’t care for opening and running a production company, rather get picked up by one. What’s your take on that?
Ps: your videos have been very helpful

Great perspective, figuring out what tasks to focus on and managing my time around that is what I struggled with for a long time and still do, but it's gotten better. I really had to be consistent and make the conscious decision to do what's difficult day after day. Just have to trust the process and built momentum over time.
