Something I need to get better at doing and getting others to do is to stop saying “I can’t” and start saying “I get to…. I get to figure out how to _____.”
Thank you so much for making this video. I was honestly feeling sad today but watching and listening to you made me feel excited again in doing the things I do. Yes, you're right my journey is unique and being grateful is one the most beautiful things we can do everyday. Everytime I am listening to you, I take down notes, i have a notebook where I write down things I learned from you. By the way, thank you for replying to my question yesterday. I really appreciate it. Of all the habits you mentioned, when it comes to phone, it's the only thing i use for photography, believe me,my phone storage is crying because of my addiction in photography. It's so full most of the time😂. So, when you said something about spotify, I need to free up space so I could download spotify and rate you there. That's the only thing I can do for now😁 Anyway, thank you so much always. I got it, yeah it's good to celebrate little victories. Thank you. Thank you. 🥰
if you focus on experience, you could build a full business just simply doing this. offer to take tourists around to the most beautiful places in the country and take pictures of them on their phone (and yours). imagine, who knows your country better than you? could you create an experience for a tourist that they couldn't find on their own that was safe and enjoyable? If you did that, and created new memories for them charged them American dollars, you would have your money for a camera pretty quickly. You would become the go to person for this, you could do this on their phones. and they could share their memories on social media right away as it's happening. Not only is there value in the photos that you would take on their phones, it would also bring value because they would get to see something that only you can show them. And you document the whole thing with a phone. iPhones with usbc can shoot directly to hard-drive. so no storage issues. you just need an SSD. Think of the ultimate value someone that doesn't live there, has the money to travel there and pay for hotel and experiences, would want that you could create. Do this. Find hotels that would recommend you. Find resorts and people that would recommend you. Once you do one, get a testimonial saying how great it was for them and how great the photos were. once you have social proof, it's much easier to sell. This is your very possible mission. Do this and you'll have a camera in 3 months. Start today.
@@stevecarty Good morning and thank you so much for taking time to reply to my messages. I appreciate the ideas you've given me on how to earn for a camera. But in my situation right now as a full time Mom, it will not work so easily because I have to consider my daughters' class schedule. Secondly, I'm not that close to places where foreign people go. Thirdly, I love doing macrophotograpgy using my REDMINOTE10 PRO phone. And sometimes I do landscape photography. I still remember, you said in your previous videos that we need to specialize, and speaking of specialize, macro really comes into my mind first. So, yesterday I've been thinking how will I make money through these insects or macro photos I've taken. I tried editing a desktop calendar and I included one of my macro photos there. I hope it'll work. I will send my edits to you on IG. 🥰 Thank you so much again Sir.💜
Bugs don’t have money to pay you. It’s gonna take a long time for you to get good enough in order to have your bug photos worthy of paying for even if you put them in a calendar. Anything that you’re trying to sell, you can’t sell without demand You have to create a demand for what you’re trying to sell before selling anything Without an audience it’s very difficult to sell anything The reason that you know me is because I leverage RU-vid, which is a free platform to attract you. The reason that you watch me is because I bring you value. The reason I make money at this is because I understand the value that I bring, and I’ve learned how to price it. Photography is something that we do for Love. We do to save time. If you were trying to make a living at this. Or any money at all, you have to be remarkable. If you’re trying to sell your work , it has to be worthy of buying. That comes when you understand what people want. Look at the top macro photographers in the world , try to figure out how they’re making money. Book sales print sales , and a good social media following.. You either have to get comfortable with being in front of the camera, bringing value to people, And reading your market. It’s a big globe. I help photographers from all over the world. What could you do that would help people from all over the world that would give you enough money to buy a camera?
@@stevecarty You're right. Macro has a very less hope in terms of earning money.b To answer your question Sir, the only thing I can do for money camera is to follow your advice but for now it's impossible cos of my situation. 😔 I'll just enjoy my photography journey. Will practice portrait photography in the process. Thank you Sir Carty 🥰
