This method worked like a charm for me when I was in hs. So what are we going to do? Pick out a local tournament with a ton of teams in it (can be any sport) Head to the website of that tournament and find the rosters of each team Go to Instagram and begin to DM 3-4 players from each team (the ones with the highest social following / ones that look like they post photos a lot) Say this: “hey NAME, I’ll be out at *tourney name* this weekend and wanted to see if you or your teammates would be interested in getting some photos” SPAM that message to TONS of players (not coaches or tourney directors) Once you get a positive response hit them with the offer — “Bet sounds good! Photo packages are $40, you get 20+ images all delivered in an album. However since you were the first person on your team to respond I have a deal for you. For every player you get to buy photos from me at $40 your price drops $5. So if you get 5 players to buy at $40 you get $25 off!” — From that collect a list of player numbers that are interested, their game time, and then tell them you’ll accept Venmo, cash or whatever payment method you want. Happy money making.

I’ve been working with my first-ever client for about six months now. They pay around $600/month for 8 short-form videos and 1 long-form video (overdelivering like crazy) and out of all my clients, this one definitely takes up the most time. Recently, they’ve kind of unofficially put me in a “head of marketing” role, which adds small tasks here and there, like making posters, shooting quick extra stuff, etc. They also asked me to create content for their supplement brand, but they have no budget for it since their just starting out, so I've done very little with that. Even though I’m clearly overdelivering, they’ve told me they don’t really see the value in paying more, and it’s tough to prove ROI for them, because their succes metric is ocial media growth — and while we’ve gotten pretty solid results on YouTube (especially given the size of the channel), Instagram is harder to grow, especially with the current budget. And even if results improved, I’m not sure it would translate into them actually valuing the work enough to pay what its actually worth. So would love to get some thoughts on that, should I drop this client and get a bunch of hours back to focus on higher-paying ones? Or hold onto them until I land a few more solid clients?
