The Ultimate Filmmaker's Business Guide is designed specifically for videographers who need help running the business side of their business! Many videographers are so good at the creative, that the business (taxes, finances, contracts, client communication etc) falls through the cracks.
This portion of the full Business Guide, "Making Money," covers how and what to charge your clients. We will go through setting up your base pricing rate, making money, budgeting and personal finances as well as what jobs you should and shouldn't take on! You'll see how we charge our clients, examples of projects we've done and what we charged for them.
The videos walk you through the content in the guide and I'll also share specific examples of experiences we have had in the real world. We recommend having the PDF of the guide up alongside the videos, as there is valuable information in there you won't want to miss!
Don't forget the PDFs are interactive so you can fill in boxes and take notes as you're learning.
Keep track of all your finances (including what you owe in taxes!), track the hours you spend working and use that information to develop a base pricing rate to make sure you're profitable!
Go through a list of questions and filters to determine which projects you should take on and how to charge for them.

I came on full-time to help Zac (a videographer and my husband:)) run Double Z Productions. Six months later, we doubled his income, with way less stress when it came to dealing with client communication and paperwork. I finally decided to tackle the goal of putting our systems down on paper so I could help solo videographers take on the business tasks without needing to bring on another person to help them.
