Guys I thank each and everyone of you so much for being here and contributing to this community regardless of if you are actually a photographer or videographer or not. Your contributions helped us grow through nearly 600 members in the span of less than a year! However, I can't lie to you guys I've personally been getting further and further away with the mission of this community every month because I've been letting a lot of things slip. We have tons of people posting their photos, and learning how to get better, however, the original purpose of this community was to teach people how to make money with photography. Last couple weeks I personally started doing more video work in my business, and so I switched the community target audience to videographers as well. For those who aren't aware, I run a freelance photo/video content business where I currently work with gyms. I document the entire journey on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jan_danielewicz I started this whole photography and videography thing because of a passion to create, but now I'm on a stage in my life for that passion to create, has also become my full-time income. I know I'll lose a lot of people because of this change, but this is my mission and I want to teach people how to do what I do. If you want to stick around for the ride, and what's coming in the next couple weeks, be my guest! 🫡 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the new mission? 🚀 - Helping photographers and Videographer monetize their hobby! What can I post? 📩 - You can post business wins, client results, and recent shoots with clients for both photos and videos. What's changing? 🔄 - The classroom will be a full business course for free in this community, taking everything I learned from the 10K challenge and putting it all in one place! - For the first time, there will be a premium tier in this community where I will help you 1:1 with your photo and video freelancing business!
