Guys I thank each and everyone of you so much for being here and contributing to this community regardless of if you are actually a photographer or videographer or not. Your contributions helped us grow through nearly 600 members in the span of less than a year! However, I can't lie to you guys I've personally been getting further and further away with the mission of this community every month because I've been letting a lot of things slip. We have tons of people posting their photos, and learning how to get better, however, the original purpose of this community was to teach people how to make money with photography. Last couple weeks I personally started doing more video work in my business, and so I switched the community target audience to videographers as well. For those who aren't aware, I run a freelance photo/video content business where I currently work with gyms. I document the entire journey on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jan_danielewicz I started this whole photography and videography thing because of a passion to create, but now I'm on a stage in my life for that passion to create, has also become my full-time income. I know I'll lose a lot of people because of this change, but this is my mission and I want to teach people how to do what I do. If you want to stick around for the ride, and what's coming in the next couple weeks, be my guest! 🫡 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the new mission? 🚀 - Helping photographers and Videographer monetize their hobby! What can I post? 📩 - You can post business wins, client results, and recent shoots with clients for both photos and videos. What's changing? 🔄 - The classroom will be a full business course for free in this community, taking everything I learned from the 10K challenge and putting it all in one place! - For the first time, there will be a premium tier in this community where I will help you 1:1 with your photo and video freelancing business!

I thought I would make this post as public accountability, but also just to genuinely share value for people struggling at any level. Even if you don't want to make money with photography i still recommend you look through this. Here’s exactly how I’m approaching $120K+ 👇 Step 1: I'm picking ONE core income lane For me, that’s: - Client work (photo + some video) - Only 2 niches: Portraits + Events Step 2: Do the math (this removes anxiety instantly haha) - $120,000 / year = $10,000 / month - ~$2,000 per client - 4–5 clients per month = $8–10k Step 3: Raise perceived value before raising prices For me I need to break down: - Clear niche positioning (who + what problem you solve) - Clean portfolio (only work that attracts paying clients) - Simple offer (one main package, one upsell) Step 4: Daily outreach > waiting to be discovered This is the unsexy part lol: - DM businesses daily - Email brands with custom Looms - Follow up (politely, repeatedly) Step 5: Track weekly, not yearly I personally focus on metrics like: - Outreach's sent - Calls booked - Deals closed - Revenue per client $120K isn’t the end goal of course, but I think it's something that I'm reaching this year from photography alone. No gatekeeping here haha, I will be transparent if i make it or not! Follow my Youtube for more personal updates: https://www.youtube.com/@jan_danielewicz
