Ways Of Making A Fortune In Photography & Videography Without Owning A Camera by naifizzy: 9:26am On May 28, 2018
Many people look down at photography and videography, sometimes they refer such careers as menial careers... "Look at that Photographer !!" "Look at that Camera man !!"..

Well guess what? It's a multi-million making professional career and most people who have embraced it professionally or unprofessionally can attest to that.

From unprofessional youtube videos, wedding photobooks, wedding videos, professional film making, Low Budget Music Videos, High Budget Music Videos etc.... Many have tapped into the evergreen profession and have never regretted.

Everyone who can take a selfie is a potential photographer. You don't need any special gift or calling...

All you need is the skills and thats it. You dont even need to own the equipments, you can rent it at an affordable price when you need it for an event or occasion.

1. You need to learn how to operate the Cameras: You can do this by being an apprentice or enrolling in any learning institute.

2. After you have acquired the skills you will need to market yourself on Social-Media. You dont need an office, or buy the expensive equipments. All you need is social networking and attractive pricing that will make you an eye candy for any occasion.

3. Save money to get your equipments: Once you making waves, dont forget to save for the rainy day!!

4. Teach others who will like to learn from you: Make the circle go round!! You can set affordable prices for that.


I made it sound easy, but nothing is too difficult to do. If ancient people can build pyramids over 5000 years ago, how much more you in this digital age with all information at your finger tips?

I have been able to buy an SUV, I-Mac, 2 Mac book pros, 3 DSLR Cameras from teaching, shooting and photography in less than 3 years.

Many of us lack the PUSH to take our destinies to the next level... Well guess what? This is one....

What is your scope? What are the skills you have acquired so far?

They are various ways to market yourself and to engage in a money making spree. For the later you need to have content...

Look at "Emmanuella" it may not be comedy but something to attract an audince. Christian, morals, marriages think creative....

You can take advantage of the department you head and use some folks in your department to achieve that goal...

To market yourself, you will need to create a network within the Churches around you.... Let it look like an an Entrepreneurial network were youth of like minds can showcase their services and tap into the market within the network. Church members marry, do occassions and celebrate on weekly basis so you have a market pool to tap from.

But most importantly you will need to top your skills and expand your knowledge. If you need help I can provide you some....

Lastly showcase your work on social media and share it for others to see. If your works standout people will look out for you.
