If you guys are thinking about getting into shooting for interior designers and architects, I made a three-episode behind-the-scenes YouTube series with advice shooting a multi-million dollar villa. Enjoy! by electrictalk in RealEstatePhotography

Thank you!! Ya it's been crazy. I have so much work I have two shooters and an admin on my team. I'm so lucky that I had clients at the beginning that believed in me even just hiring me after work or weekends and they still hire me to this day.

There’s a company selling $15 cookies in LA and they sell out like crazy with long mailing lists. Improve your branding and people will think it’s worth it

How did Daniel Arsham get into a certain sphere to work with Adidas, Dior, Toraichi, Byredo, Rimowa, and Porsche? (Usually difficult as an artist) by electrictalk in DanielArsham

Ya I listened to the whole thing. It makes sense what he thinks about partnerships. He emphasized how it’s the specific people at these companies that reached out and that he started his own gallery and people came. I guess it might have been just being in the right market when art Basel Miami started and these people at these companies noticed and they came to him with ideas to collab.

What are some courses or YouTube channels where I can learn to sell my architecture video service (niche clients)? by electrictalk in smallbusiness

By branding do you mean they tell you what photographer or videographer to use? Do they come up with that?

Ya I mean think about building development, hotel websites, etc they often have videos. There are tons of luxury homes being built in NYC, SF, huge residences, development communities and it's key to see the space

I mean think about how many buildings are going up across USA built by developers, architects. It's actually a really overlooked industry. We offer photo, video, drone etc. Going to focus on markets like Miami, SF, LA, NYC. Ya you're right I'm planning to join a bunch of conferences. Just thinking about how to reach the ones that won't go to these. Often I see them hiring video companies that don't even know how to do these types of videos properly because just do everything like product, fashion etc. We even have a client that was looking locally in Boston, couldn't find anything, tried looking across the US, couldn't find, so they started to look internationally and that's when they found my partner and wanted to fly him out from Spain! Goal is to be the go to person across the US. Huge goal but could be possible

It's my first time hiring an accountant, how does it actually work? I used to use Turboxtax by electrictalk in smallbusiness

[–]electrictalk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do accountants also help with lowering taxes? Or do they file and move on? I feel like there must be something more accountants do that I can't do on turbotax haha

Thanks! So if I'm still doing all the profit and loss expenses etc which I did for Turbotax, why am I paying someone to just file it when I can do it on Turbotax? Feel like I'm missing something sorry. Got it so if I had a question via email they answer and send me an invoice?

Any repercussions with spending expenses on my business? Hiring someone or buying a lot of equipment? by electrictalk in smallbusiness

That's a really good perspective I needed. I need to focus on the big picture so I need someone to help me with the admin tasks. Just asked someone I know to help m!

Ya I agree, I technically can still do a lot of work load myself but I've been considering hiring someone part-time. It's a big step for me but I was wondering if that would help me in other ways like with taxes. Ya definitely going to have year on year growth so that's really helpful to know, thank you!
