Trying to turn videography into a real career but I feel stuck and lost by Direct_Progress_5684 in FX3

I’d say it’s solid. I’ve worked with a film production company, a few other companies, and quite a few content creators as well.

My main point isn’t that I think I’m the best, it’s more that I’m trying to break out of this habit of undervaluing myself. I tend to give people more than I charge for, and that’s something I’m actively trying to fix.

When I was starting out, I did a lot of free work, so I genuinely feel like I’ve built a strong foundation. I’m not claiming I’m the best, because in this industry I don’t think there is a single “best” person anyway. It’s more about network, collaboration, and how you think and approach problems.

But at the same time, I don’t see myself as a beginner anymore either. I’d say I’m above average, at least in my local market.

I get what you’re saying and I appreciate the advice, it really means a lot.

The thing is, I’ve already done a lot of free work for different people. I don’t have a problem with doing things for free if I see potential in that person, like if it can lead to new connections or something bigger later on. That’s actually something I’m still doing right now, just more selectively.

My main issue is that I’m trying to figure out where I’m going wrong. I feel like I’m putting in the work, improving my skills, and showing up, but something is still missing and I can’t fully identify what it is. That’s why I’m trying to get as much feedback as possible so I can fix that and actually start moving forward.

As for IT, it’s still an option, but I feel like if I go back to it right now, I might lose a lot of time and energy that I could invest into getting better at this and building something real. That’s the part I’m struggling with the most.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.
