🎬 Starter Cut Graduate Checklist: What’s Next? Everyone Tap in!

You’ve built the skill. Now it’s time to build the brand.

Here’s your next move to start attracting real clients and creating cinematic work that pays.

✅ 1. Build Your Brand Assets

Create your visual identity (logo, banner, intro/outro card). This helps your work feel official and consistent.

✅ 2. Show Up Online

Pick 2–3 social media platforms where your audience lives.

Post clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and before/after transformations.

✅ 3. Launch Your YouTube Channel

Use it as your digital portfolio. Every commercial or trailer should live there so potential clients can see your quality and style.

✅ 4. Create Your Website

It doesn’t have to be fancy. One clean page works. Include your bio, contact form, pricing or “starting at” info, and links to your work.

✅ 5. Define Your Services + Pricing

Outline what you offer (teasers, promos, brand videos, book trailers, etc.).

Use ChatGPT or research competitors in your niche to align your prices with industry standards.

✅ 6. Pitch with Confidence

Start reaching out to small businesses, authors, and creators.

Lead with how your visuals solve their problem. Visibility, storytelling, or brand credibility.

✅ 7. Keep Creating

Each project builds your portfolio and your value. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence!
