How To Start A Videography Business From NOTHING In 2024 (A Beginner’s Guide)

In June 2019, I started to learn videography as a complete beginner who didn’t even know my camera settings. 6 months later, I was being paid to make videos. In this video, I share with you my 5 steps to start a videography business from nothing as a complete beginner. No camera, no equipment and no skills.

“Don’t be afraid to do shoots you may not feel ready for” wow I needed that

[kacperliszka]

dude i don't know why this video has so few views but it's one of the best videos i've seen so far about how to grow your business, simple and understandable, thanks!

[Kodi-_-Blair]

“Start when you don’t feel ready” is hitting me as it should and my biggest problem is stepping out of my comfort zone. I loved the video and loved your process.

Finally, someone who understands the word "beginner". My dudes put beginner in the title and then start talking about sensor size and composition... like bro, which part of: I dont even know how to hold the camera, do you not understand? Thanks for the video, I hope you grow even more ;)

I’m a film student trying to become a videographer and I’ve been having a tough time with how to go about it. This video is very helpful, thank you!

[cjascoli]

My man this is exactly the video I needed to stumble upon. As a growing videographer it's tough finding clientele sometimes. You touched on tips I rarely see other creators talking about. Thanks bro

Bro I watched this when I was just lost about what I wanted to do after highschool.. I was probably thinking to just do auto detailing, but remembered I have a passion for filmmaking, so I looked up if it’s even possible.. since watching this, I’ve started an LLC, opened a business bank account, and have gotten to the point where I’m ready for clients now! And this was about 2 months ago 😄.. super exited to see what the future holds, and I wanna thank you for this inspiring video

[BC_MediaEh]

Hate that I haven't seen this video before. This gives the inspiration to get your business started. Just get out and do it.

[lerthontheuma]

You don't understand how much confidence you've built in me by watching this video. Thanks so much.

I really like how simple, yet informative this video was. I am really excited to build my portfolio and one day be able to make videography and film making my full time career. My sister is getting married in a few months, so that is gonna be a perfect start. I wanna see if I can also do some real-estate video work too!

Start when you don’t feel ready! Otherwise you will never start!

Ive been so scared to start my own videography business. I studied documentary filmmaking for my masters, have worked as a freelancer in production and post-production for about 3 years now, and still have not decided to take the leap and offer video services to business/individuals. I’ve been wanting to for a while but to be honest have been scared shitless. This gave me courage. What you said in the end of this video moved mountains for me. “Start when you don’t feel ready, because if you wait until you feel ready, you will never start.”
I’ve been paralyzed with fear, waiting to feel ready, and it turns out that the problem isn’t that I’m not ready, it’s that I simply haven’t started.
Thank you.

Hugely insightful, genuine and transparent. Much appreciate this video

[hamborger]

I needed this video as a affirmation today. I had a change of heart from being a teacher to videography. I just love everything about videography but needed to take a leap of faith, so I jumped on here and typed in the search bar "how to be a videographer" and you popped up. I'm so glad I clicked on it cause it couldn't of connected to what I needed to hear 😊

Thank you

[StativeCreative]

What a wonderful way to turn a difficult situation into helpful and professional content. You're quite inspirational🙌

[GraysenStudios]

Thank you for the helpful tips. I'm at that point of needing to offer free shoots and I have more confidence now hearing your story and your advice! So thank you for taking the time out to make this video 😊

[dave_o]

thank you bro, this video will help me to move forward and do the works.

[Applebymoments]

Love it! Trying to set up my own videography business in Germany. You have gave me so much inspiration and ideas 💡

[gabriellesteele]

Love to hear your story! Very inspiring. I would love to see a video from you on learning how to edit the videos or outsourcing that part of it.
