    Hi Amanda! your video is of extremely high value! I love how generous you are to share so many tips to the videography community. I got a question though, you mention about the Price point for Small Biz / Entrepreneur was about 10k to 15K, is this a per-project price or monthly revenue? Because I think you mentioned in another video about getting higher budget clients and use the range 1000 to 1500 as reference per project. Mind clarifying a bit?
    Thanks!

    This was amazing and I loved all these tips, thank you so much. I just have a language barrier and wanted to understand more of the concept around agency work and where to find agency work. Example would be do i need to email a local resturant and hope they call me often for footage or do i need to look into videography agency as a whole. Its just a bit overwhelming but I would love your time and effort to eleborate through here or even a video, god bless :)

    • @AmandaHorvath
      @AmandaHorvath  Před 3 lety

      I would definitely recommend approaching it as the overall marketing strategy for the agency rather than individual clients. Be a magnet to clients rather than going out and finding them. It's inbound vs. Outbound marketing

    From one videographer to another, awesome video. I will use these tips for my own business and I appreciate you giving me these cool secrets haha.
    I haven't checked out your latest videos but when you're explaining something you don't actually have to use the rule of thirds, especially if you're an "authority" in the shot. Like now, you're explaining something, putting yourself directly in the middle of the screen would work way better and wouldn't be so off putting.
    Just wanted to give some feedback and thank you for your content!

    • @AmandaHorvath
      @AmandaHorvath  Před 2 lety

      I appreciate that! I do the rule of thirds so I can occasionally add text to the shot.
      I'll occasionally pop in the middle of the frame though. Also depends on what background I'm working with! My camera / lens combo doesn't have a ton of boquete so it looks less distracting with sitting on the side.
