Great practical advice. When I saw the title, I was concerned about over-hype. But 4 years? 3-6 months of expenses? Man, you're giving some legit truth. Keep giving us good advice -- photography and business.

@psoet.photo1112 2 года назад

Wonderful video! I quit my day job and never looked back. Your first point was spot on for sure 👌 Once I saw my business flourishing, I had no reason to work at a grocery store ever again lol

@WhoizKittiB 2 года назад

Oh em gee John! I’m super hyped now! You are such an inspiration for me! PLEASE keep doing what you do for the photography community. It REALLY helps new photographers stay motivated to bring beauty into this world!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your work 👍🏽 And BTW…… when you do the funny “photographer voice” it cracks my up everytime 😹😹😹

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

I have a couple of videos that talk on that subject but maybe something going through the whole process would be awesome.

I feel like your talking right to me 😂 Iv been getting to busy with photography Iv been wondering if it’s time to quit my day job. It’s just been becoming a hassle and feeling like I don’t have time to giving my all on my photography.

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

That really is the main turning point for most people. When I quit my day job the thought was things are getting to a point where I can't keep up with both but I believed that I was doing well enough with photography that I knew I could turn it into a full time thing.

Made the jump to full time about a month ago! It’s a little scary, but exciting at the same time!

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

CONGRATS!!! It's a really big jump and just as you said it can be scary but honestly as long as you're doing the hard work it gets better.

@storyfebakery 2 года назад

John I have decided to be a wedding photographer. I’ll be adding myself to your Patreon soon. I can’t do this alone.

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

Super awesome. I hope to provide some support for you as you're getting started!

Great vid bro! I do have a question. For the people that are working a retail job that requires weekends. How can they still do step 1 as you mention?

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

That's probably the hardest part especially when it comes to weddings. What I would say is try to fill the weekends you can with weddings (I understand working a retail job that doesn't give you weekends. I used to work at Apple for 5 years) but you can always do portraits and engagements during the week. A great way to fill up your portfolio and also get some practice in as well.

@waynosfotos 2 года назад

I have been doing photography and videography consistent for over 5 years, have a RU-vid channel with almost 400 videos up. My problem is not my ability, but convencing people to let me shoot them. When you have no reputation, people will rather pay 5k than 1k because someone has a reputation. This is a big hurdle, even people you know don't want to engage you even for free because they have no faith in you. Even when you show them your photos. How do you get passed this?

@TheOne-vf2yw 3 месяца назад

Shoot for free and build a great portfolio with friends and family

@cjmedic1 2 года назад

Hey Jhon do you recommend and lead generating companies? I have everything else but now I’m finding it challenging to figure which avenue to go down for ads or spending money on a lead company. Any suggestions?

@nono-ji4km Год назад

I'm scared to leave my day job. I feel my photography business keeps me busy now, but I feel it'll slow down😢

@jbivphotography Год назад

I fully understand. It's honestly probably one of the scariest jobs since things can change very quickly.

@Des_Armoni 2 года назад

Any advice on getting on as a 2nd?

@jbivphotography 2 года назад

It's one of the hardest things. I need to make a video about it but usually photographers are looking for a lot when it comes to being a second not someone who's brand new. Having a good website and good portfolio and being attentive is really the main part of being a second.

@Des_Armoni 2 года назад

@@jbivphotography Thanks so much!
