Today, we’re breaking down 12 mistakes that quietly cost talented videographers thousands of dollars and keep them underpaid, overlooked, and stuck at the same level for years. In this episode, we talk about why you need to document yourself working, the importance of creating spec work, how to turn past clients into new opportunities, why specialists can charge more, the questions you need to ask before pricing a project, and how to protect your money through deposits, revision limits, and proper tax planning. These are all mistakes we’ve made throughout our careers, and fixing even one of them could completely change your video business. 00:00 – Intro 00:27 – Live Videography Workshop 00:58 – The 12 Mistakes Costing Videographers Money 01:03 – One-Handed Crack 01:35 – Mistake #1: Not Filming Enough Content 04:56 – Mistake #2: Not Making Enough Spec Work 16:04 – Mistake #3: Not Reaching Back Out to Old Clients 18:52 – Mistake #4: Not Asking for Referrals 21:33 – Mistake #5: Not Specializing or Niching Down 25:45 – Mistake #6: Not Asking Enough Discovery Questions 37:50 – Mistake #7: Only Charging for the Shoot Day 40:00 – Mistake #8: Not Upselling More Deliverables 45:50 – Mistake #9: Not Defining Revision Limits 50:50 – Mistake #10: Not Collecting a Deposit 55:56 – Mistake #11: Not Building Agency Relationships 57:51 – Mistake #12: Not Saving Money for Taxes If you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!
