lets say I like to shoot product videos and promotional videos for business, and Im a begginer and I dont have clients, but I did some work for myself and I know what I like and dont like, I should turn down jobs that I dont want to shoot at the begining ? or should I take whatever I can and after a while I should turn down jobs and starts make an identity to my brand and what my speciality is ?
It will vary for every person depending on their financial situation and a variety of other factors. If you need the money to live and pay expenses, I don’t recommend turning down work, just for the sake of it. If the work is unrelated to what you want to do, you can (and maybe should) still do it on the side without incorporating it as part of your brand. For myself, I was frugal enough with money that I got to a point where I could afford to pay bills and live for a bit while turning down work I didn’t want to do. I instead spent that extra time creating spec work and putting out pieces that reflected the type of jobs I wanted to get. After doing that for a little while, it paid off tremendously as word of mouth took its course and brands started reaching out to me for product commercials. For a long time while I was trying to grow my business in marketing oriented content, I did a lot of real estate videos on the side. I never put the real estate videos on my portfolio but it was good consistent money until I had saved up enough to fully dive into what I wanted to pursue. Hope this helps!

Thanks for this Daniel! You're an inspiration 🙌
Right back at you!
#3 holds a lot of truth in the RUclips world as well. Instead of competing with people in my niche, I just collabbed with all of them instead. The benefits definitely showed.
That is so true !!! It’s not about competing, it’s about helping each other grow
100% agree with everything you said in this video! Everything started lining up better for me once i focused on what I really wanted to do
This is what I need to do!
Bro love your videos too man beast 👌🏽🤙🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Same here !
I'm glad you actually countered the gear doesn't matter point. Maybe as a hobby yes, but a business, you're right, investing money and into your gear and business will help your business grow and scale.
absolutely! Gear does matter but it doesnt mean you work will be better, you need to know how to use it unless its just wasted money.
Totally! I think the expression “gear doesn’t matter” gets misunderstood. When people say that, it’s just a quicker way of saying, “you don’t need expensive, high grade equipment to make good films”. But as you said, like in any business, it’s important to invest back into it when/where necessary. Thanks for watching, and for the comment! 👏
@@danielschiffer Yes Daniel you're right..... as content creators we just need to level up our skills and ourselves too..... In that process you definitely need to refine and update your arsenal time to time..... and I'm waiting for your reply for my comment bro :)
Speaking of transforming your business. You actually inspired me to create my own digital content creation company! I am currently doing it full time and couldnt be happier with my life. Thank you so much for being an educator and inspiration to the mass community
That's great to hear 😊 Thanks for watching, hope I can continue to to help/inspire you!
That’s soo good man ! I’m doing the same here ! You got my support
Need some help? We're looking for extra work lol
The two best words in your talk: "Underpromise" and "Overdeliver". Love it. Thanks so much for these pieces of advices :)
So useful and helpful ! Especially since I’m recently starting out
Tip #3 was actually the game-changer for me. Since I started to think about video production I was quite surprised how many people are already in the field and it somehow hit me to think that it's some kind of competition (exactly what you said - more work they have means less work for me). It took me a while to realize that I should change my attitude so I approached one local videomaker with offer of helping him. Turned out he would love to colaborate and tomorrow I start my first project. So thank you for saying this loud!
I've been following your journey since early 2017 and it's amazing to see how far you've come Daniel! You're truly an inspiration for all creatives. Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks for joining the journey and the support!
Man this guy just kills it telling you what you need and nothing but you don’t need
Bummed I didn’t think of throwing a nightclub baby shower 😢
LMAO
It does lineup though because I'm sure a lot of people have a baby shower because they _went_ to a night club 🤣
@@danielschiffer waht is i say i dont know nothing about baby shower hh
Right now may be the ONLY time a night club would probably, very happily, take you’re money to have a night club baby shower. Considering the current state of things, if you keep it under 10, it’s probably doable....
Even baby mamas like to back it up every once in a while.
I love this dude. Thank you so much for posting this for us man! I feel like lately all I have been seeing from my favorite RUclipsrs have been trends. It's really refreshing to watch this video where you just sit down and share a story and advice with us
THANKS DANIEL FOR INSPIRING US!! YOU ARE THE BEST! 💙💙💙💙💙
You make good videos too!!
The channel where i feel i am not wasting any of my valuble time on this never ending social media.
“Daniel schiffer”
Thanks for the motivation and your encouragement hope i can work with you
Sheesh, 1 of the best videos for somebody to hear! GEMS!
I've been binging your videos since last night. I'm obsessed. SOOOO helpful!! 😍
Yay! Thank you!
Improving your skills, Opening Connections & Overdelivering is where its at!! So many times they pop back up 5 yrs later with something you would have never expected. Keep it up man!
9 years ago I started Watching car Videos on RUclips channel and i was a House painter and that time . I decided to be Automative Videographer . I made handmade Slider and start bought Canon 650D with kit lens and start filming my own car , second video i shot for tuning company and that video was my first visit card for next Commercial video for Chevrolet. After 4 year i moved to USA and started everything again.at the end , now i am working with Wheels’s company and i am professional Automotive Videographer based in LA. For immigrants to learn language , find a clients , make a videos for them and be successful it’s difficult as you know. Find your identity, thats a main key.
Making videos for my clothing brand and then people dancing send me on my way clients, my current client is launching a coffee brand here in the US, we r from the same salsa community and after he saw my previous videos for months he gave me the opportunity to do some reels for his new project, annndddd....that's how I found YOU! because I didn't have any idea of how to make product videos but I knew I would learned fast. You are so far the best, doing it, inspiring and giving away tips like we all should. Thank you!!! and u r right about other people's work, we have to get better each time and also always always be honest with the client.
Daniel is the BEST at business advice! He’s so to the point and provides so much value! Would love more of these videos Daniel!
Hey man - enjoyed your channel for a while now!
It’s shocking how many similar lessons we’ve learned/shared with our woodworking business.
Great stuff, keep it up!
Dude I don’t think u know how much you make me strive to work harder
That's my goal!!
I've been thinking if I was going on the right way shooting and filming just what I like and becoming better at it, and this just confirms it. Thank you Daniel!
As a Business major currently in school and also an amateur videographer/photographer, this video is church to me. YES DANIEL
Hey that’s exactly how I got here! Finance major, and started learning video on RUclips University! 😂
Keep grinding mate!
This is sign of humble person.
What i am now as a filmmaker because of you.
Thank you
It's so awesome to see you doing well. I've followed for a while and you always seemed so genuine and you ALWAYS put out incredibly valuable content. Congrats on the success!
I think the success of your channel is the value it provides. I come back from time to time to revisit your videos and watch them from different perspective with more knowledge in my bag now and see even more details I didn't pay attention to before.
The content is so clear, structured and valuable that it makes it easy to watch and digest.
Thank you 🙏🏼
This felt so real, honest and organic. Some of the best advice that really makes me think. Wow I wanna act on this ASAP. Especially point 1
Thank you for making this! I personally specialize in drone videography and have been since the beginning. I have declined weddings, and things I just don’t want to do. What I will make sure I do is improve the quality of my work. The beauty with video is that it gets seen and works for you non stop like a mini ad agency 👍🏻
Solid video! so grateful creator like you sharing this info!
This is the content I personally need to see! I started my freelance business about 7 months ago and have gotten some clients but it's come to a halt. I'm not sure how to get my next client as cold outreach has been hopeless, especially with covid. Thanks for always posting helpful content! You're a huge inspiration to my path on this freelancing road.
Daniel Schiffer for president!!!!!!! You are simply amazing.. I have binge watched your videos and for an up and coming creator, you are such an inspiration. Thank you!
Informative, precise, and well done. Thanks for this Daniel.
Alway good to see & hear from you Daniel....
Another inspiring video. Thanks for sharing about your process, your business, and your creativity. You rock Daniel!!
Daniel, thank you. Keep doing you are big inspiration for a lot of people. I start month a go and learn really a lot from your videos. Big thanks again.
Bro I just love how straight up you are about everything. Valuable advice, just the motivation I needed during the dreary season!
I use epidemic 100% of the time for commercial projects. It is the BOMB DOT COM, selection and copyright clearing. The best.
Love this. Hard work + open-mindedness + kindness pays.
Incredible info. Thank you! My wife and I are in the early early stages of saving for equipment/saving for a business emergency fund and hope to start making content in 2021 and build our videography business up. The knowledge shared from people like yourself, Jesse Driftwood, Indy Mogul, Matti, Peter M, and more are SO SO SO valuable, and mean so much to someone like my wife and I that are still in the starter phase.
I love how honest and to the point this video is!
Been following you since 2016 its crazy to see how much the content has changed, keep it up!
Hi Daniel, thank you so much for this man. Love what you are doing and how you are always so willing to share your knowledge and experiences. Your take on career and progression is spot on! Keep it up! 🙏🏾
I just want to thank you Daniel for the amount of advice, tips and encouragement you give us on a regular basis! I've been watching for a long time now and I was able to put the filmmaking skills into practice recently on a shoot, which is receiving a great response! Videos like this give me a lot of hope too, as I recently went freelance and look to build my own business. So yeah, thanks man 👍🙂

Lemme go subscribe to your channel ! 🏃🏾♂️
Peter Lindgren and James Matthews too
Yc imagine
@@leandredesimo thanks man really appreciate that!!
Daniel, thank you, You've inspired me a ton throughout your carrier, I see you. I feel you one hundred percent about that narrowing down on one's audience and understanding your band image is enormous, number three hits hard. I try and collaborate with creators around my area and it's like they avoid me, I hate competition, we're all equal in our journey. Hope we can connect someday brother, I'm in your corner ✌️
This was totally helpful! Thanks Daniel!
You have helped me make my work so much better. Thank you.
Thanks for this man! I still watch your old business related videos
What great advice Daniel! Thank you 🙏
Really needed to hear all these valid points at this very moment in my life! Thank you for always being my biggest inspiration and mentor!
Love this type of video, there are so many of these types of these things that are SO helpful for us to start.
Awesome and super valuable content! Keep up the great work!
Well said and so true Dan...the alliance of oneself is very easy when one doesn't realize to have others in ur field can actually broaden your own growth! Great advice man😀👊
Hey man. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and to so many other people.
Anytime I have a project that requires extra concentration and quality delivery, this is where I pick up 80% of my tips from.
Keep Creating Bro, Much Love From Kenya, Africa!
RUclips must give you an award for all the great job you do! Thank you a lot for all the value you share with us🙏🏾
Daniel man, thanks for the words of wisdom! You help sooooo many creatives including myself! I remember finding your channel 2 years ago after watching Petes video, "The King of Broll" and wanting to learn your style so bad so I could bring a unique perspective of goods and services for businesses in my area! Fast forward to today and I own a productions company creating for businesses in my area and actually showed a current client I have had for a year a video of yours for reference and have constantly been banging out videos for them! Just want you to know that your videos changed my life! Cheers brother!
Pure wisdom, man. Everything you mentioned, very well said!
Wow ! Never knew I needed this more than ever some simple words to get the brain going even further ! Thanks
I love what you said about networking. I can't count how many times I've been looking for someone to do a job, and they are too busy but happily refer onto another business that they trust. Their trust and recommendation is as good as them themselves doing the job in my opinion. If you're good enough to be recommended by another respected person in the industry, then it's clear they respect you...
I can very much relate with your words, so glad I'm not alone in my struggles. And I feel this is pretty much the case for the majority of the filmmakers at the beginning of their journey. Thanks for your heartfelt tips, Daniel. It's a bumpy ride, but totally worth it.
Thank you so much for your advice! You're amazing!
Thanks a lot and hearing that from you makes lots of sense on how you approach things and good for new youtubers.
I've learned so much from you- and I'm not even that much into photography/videography- you provide such practical guides and they end up being applicable in many different aspects of life (like those where we need imagination, visualisation, planning, organisation and execution- basically everywhere😂)
Thanks, Daniel!
This is great info and so true. Sometimes it can be hard to do all these 3 things but it's so important to find your niche, get good gear, and make friends. Thanks for sharing and reminding me how important it is to stay in my own lane!
"complacency is the greatest barrier to growth" love that!!
Bro everytime I watch a DS video I could just listen to this man for hours and intake all them gems, incredeble video as always
Love this! Thanks for sharing great info!!
You're the best, Daniel, thanks again. Kia kaha (stay strong) from New Zealand
"If you view everyone else in your field as your enemy, all you’re doing is alienating yourself and closing doors." DAMN did I need to hear that. This is easily my favorite video of yours, Daniel. Always love hearing your perspectives. Keep it up, dude!
This is so relatable for me. You said everything about this business model. No truth is absolute. Try and fail wonderfully, then learn and do a "niche", make real connections with people work on the same field. Produce the best work and over deliver.. Guaranteed clients 😊 thanks Daniel for reassuring this actual "truth"!
Love your work mann ! ❤️❤️
This video is so honest, so true and so inspiring
Love all your videos man always inspiring!!
Happy to see you make another useful video.
Thanks!
Awesome video, man! Great info!
Daniel you're an inspiration. I will learn a lot from you. Thank you and all the best.
Such a great video. Thank you for this.
You are LEGEND man. I really love your stuff and it made me buy my own camera.
Killing it as always!
Love the content Daniel!❤️
I'm not even a cinematic channel, yet I still find so much value in general for improving my overall channel. Thank you Daniel, well prepared and hands down one of the most valuable creators on this platform that are really contributing to society! Keep it up!
-Jason
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed :)
Always good to watch your videos!
Always something smart to say! Thanks, man. It is nice that you are sharing your experience with us...
This video was so helpful! I'm 14 and trying to start a RUclips channel and to do photography and cinematography, after this video I now know where to go in my future. Thanks, Daniel! I always love your videos!
Good for you! What are you wanting to build your channel around? Any idea yet? If you’re just starting there’s another channel I think that would help you out a lot, it’s Think Media.
your tips are always so spot-on and concrete. love that!
Great video, you raise some great points and clearly have a lot of experience
this was perfect and exactly what I needed, such amazing advice, concise and straight to the point! Thank you, subbed :)
You gave important value, Thanks! You just have helped someone to build a new business and with a good character. :)
I really LOVE your work Sir!
I really needed this. GOD BLESS YOU. Thankyou!! I love you and your work.
This is so helpful and inspiring, thank you!
I've been in video production for 30 years, spot on with every single thing you said in this video! Hard work= success
Another great video! The advice about the competition is definitely a strong point. It's much better to make solid connections that create unwanted competition.
Hey Daniel, great video this really stood out as good advice.
you are the man! Love your videos! cheers from Portugal
Thanks for sharing this gold knowledge Dan
Such a great progression Daniel! Love to see how much you’ve grown!
