Hope my journey to making money from filmmaking helps you guys!
It has helped. Thank you.
This channel has convinced me that filmmaking is a viable career. Thank you.
Yeahh... not bad. But Just a tip: there's a huge difference in between the concept of "Filmmaker" and "Videographer". Making videos, doesn't means you are a filmmaker. Making films is such different than making regular videos... but definitely making videos every day keep you on training. Just remember Matti, Films is totally another world... bigger team to organized, harder work to do, and stronger difficult to get involved into the industry.
Hugs !!
Thanks for all that you do Matti! It's inspiring.
I started a business on last month. It's stressful not knowing where your income is coming from, but you gotta remember owning a business is a marathon not a sprint! You got this creatives!👊
“I feel like I’m stuck inside all day” did NOT age well lmaoo
not at all 😭😭
I’ve been watching this channel (on and off) for a little over a year or so. It’s so good to see the progress and evolution of the channel. Great job Matt. Keep up the good work. This is a perfect example of what hard work can do.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻 means a lot
I definitely needed this video today, I’ve been spending so much money on camera gear recently...
Gotta put it to use then!
Matti Haapoja loved the video man I was locked in. Gonna put that TH-cam channel tip to use and make a video rn! Thanks for the Wednesday inspiration
I know that. Spend 1000€ on new Cam and then the first client cancels the job!
Tobias Lorenzi That's the point he's making… Quit seeing individual clients as the be-all-end-all. There are way more opportunities besides random calls… Stock photos/footage, producing educational content, applying for salary positions with companies (definitely goes against the “be your own boss” “entrepreneurship” fantasy people cling to these days)… It's a solid video that addresses exactly the scenario you're venting about.
Buy Canon and watch 40 videos about Fujifilm XT4..... Thanks TH-cam 🤣
“I believe in you” is one of the nicest things you can say to someone 😊
Matti !!i had spent half of my day just watching your content and still ,i just have to say as a new guy getting into this world THANKS 🙏🏾
I'm trying to start fresh in a new country, so yeah actually this was just the motivation I needed! Thanks man 😁
I started my yt channel cause you, Peter and Chris inspired me like A LOT! I mostly photograph but I want this too, really makes me happy when I see that people like what I put on, and even though people can’t see how much work goes into it, I’m always happy when I give my all :)
Super awesome video. Always feels good when creators help creators out to grow. Always on point Matti.
Thanks Matti, been following you since Travel Feels, watched you and Peter grow, dope squad, starter office etc.... Thanks for this video, and being so transparent - wish there was more of this. Needed the 'atta girl' today. Cheers
Your little boy is absolutely ADORABLE! 💗
So much great information! Thank you for putting this out here. I'm definitely going to use a lot of your advice here.
Perfect timing as I think more and more about all this. New ideas and thoughts to get after it and maybe find a way out of the day job grind! Thanks Matti! Cheers!
Thanks Matti! I've literally been searching for clients for a while now, especially because on of my part-time gigs is closing down, so. Time to hunker down and get this thing going!
This channel is MASSIVELY underrated! Under 1Mil subscribers, come on....Great valuable insight and detailed experiences information. Thanks Matti you are a hero!!!
Great video Matti, not only inspirational but informative and true as well! Much obliged! keep up the good/hard work!
"I BELIEVE IN YOU", that's huge. Thanks Matti, I need that. I really do.
This really helped. I just started the process of registering my Trademark here in the US, and I've signed up as a contributor on stock footage sites. Thank you for the advice, man. After quarantine hit, I lost my job; I would find a new one, but I'm moving out of town in just over a month and so no one is willing to hire me. I'm using this as an opportunity to start making a living as both a musician/composer and filmmaker. Thank you again for the advice.
Love these updates, I'm sure you do somethings different now than before.
Thanks for this man! Some serious VALUE. Definitely what I needed with getting started myself with making videos and creating
These are really good tips! I’m in the process with a friend to start our own filmmaking business in NC. It’s not easy and we hope our dreams and goals are reached!! 🔥
This are good and motivating words, the most powerful part is that your honesty shines through more than some kind of personal 'interest' that's also behind making this video
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Please make more money related videos in the future Matti!
Honestly dude, this right here is inspirational. I'm living in the corporate video world right now, and would love to finally start doing freelance work now that I've finally got my A7Riii. Appreciate all the great tips, my man!
Thanks for supporting all of creators worldwide Matti, such a lad. I'm trying to breakthrough and started my yt channel. Migrating from just photographer to all-around camera guy. 🙂 ✌️
Super inspirational words man! Started my channel last year with slow growth. No videos yet this year but content is coming. 👍🏼👍🏼
Just got through your first tip and i second that one so much! I have a salary gig shooting photos for a real estate team in my area during the week and freelance weddings on the weekend. Hopefully one day I’ll be on my own, but for now it’s going good!
Matti, I feel this is produced just for me. It's been a while since I watched one of your vids. You gave me so much advise to work on, I have been heads down producing having made 80 videos inside November. Increasing income would be very welcomed and give a boost to all the hard work! Great job.
That’s awesome. Glad to have you back 😊
LOVE THIS MESSAGE! Thanks Matti.
I’m actually considering quitting my full time corporate job and doing photography/videography full time. This video was equal parts informative and inspirational. Thank you!
I was gonna say what's your progress and found out u just commented 5 mins ago😂
How's it went now ?
@@armaanbelim3188 well……it’s a year now 🤷♂️
Thank you for the video Matti!!! I needed to hear that advice from my awesome guy! Thank you!
Man. Watching this makes me so motivated! :) Great video Matt!
Wow! 🤩 This video is great. I learned so much!
These are great tips. One thing I would add, which you touched on a bit, is to leverage your talents. I have played guitar and bass for 18 years and I decided to create sound fx packs using midi synth, guitar, bass and foley. I will be releasing my first pack soon and being able to combine two of my passions, music and film, has been great and will hopefully be a great resource for filmmakers. Some tips on marketing digital products would be great. The toughest part is to reach your audience.
This just popped up on my feed and thought I'd check it out since I just posted a video on "making money with videos" - from the point of view of someone who's not necessarily a film maker - but more of a content creator; and you're so right in terms of the digital landscape and how it's positively impacted the creative space. There's a lot of work available at all different skill levels, and I think it's so handy when practitioners / content creators make videos like this especially for those who may not know anyone in their circle whose doing it! The representation makes it so much more possible for anyone just getting started, and also provides an awesome example for the lifestyle attached to this way of making mulah :)
Waving across the lake to you from Rochester NY. Thanks for putting this up, I just started and still working out what it is that my focus is going to be. TH-cam channel is almost up and will be a Timeline of how I got started and what I am learing.
Great video Matti. Love that you are showing Kai in these episodes. Family first, love it!
This content is so motivating to watch! Needed this right now. Thanks
Been feeling so stuck recently so I definitely needed this...so inspiring man. Thank you Matti!
Shari. Me too. I just find it super hard to relate to him. Love his content though, but I prefer getting to know others in the same boat as me in the comment section :).
Hey Matt I started my TH-cam Channel because of you and the whole Canadian crew (&PotatoJet) I wanted to thank you for the inspiration. I am a month into it and 5 episodes in and loving it!!!
Thanks for the speech , I was feeling down and after watching felt better , need more such talks !
What a great feeling it is when Daddy comes home to get greeted by his son with so much excitement......I think it is one of the best feelings. Funny side thought my sons name is Kyson and I also call him Ky (Ki) for short. Great video and great tips.
This video is definitely for me. I often feel like being used as a creative person, doing bunch of projects without getting paid. I realised how much I haven’t been appreciating myself as a creator. Just if I knew how to use my talent to be my side income, I would be better dealing with those projects.
Thank you for this, I am totally new to running my studio full time, it certainly is a challenge! This video helps.
Perfect timing bro I’ve just started my channel took huge inspiration from you and peter! Would love to break into film making! Just back from Iceland man that country can be savage weather
But I managed to get a few videos up and on my channel
Thanks for the work tips! Thats empowerment hearing i believe in u! 😎
Amazing video Matti! This brings a new vision to how I'm gonna handle my channel. Started thinking of selling presets but I'm gonna think about expanding that to other things, some mentioned in your video! Cheers!!!
This is all so helpful man. I really appreciate your content and support!!! You are an incredible mentor!!!!
Thanks so much dude!
I really needed to hear this! Thank you Matt
Thank you Matti! Needed this for sure!
Needed this advice. Thanks like always, Matti!
Same as Joey ... I just started not long ago, going thru online classes at NYIP been spending a ton of money on gear, very cool to hear about the humble beginnings definitely inspiring to get my amateur ass out there and put in the work
I'm going to do my first wedding video for a friend later this summer. Been watching a lot of you and Teppo's videos trying to prepare.
Thank you Matti! This video was very informative. I am enjoying a lot of your content!
I’m a drummer and I learnt a lot with your video for my cover videos! And now it’s interesting to see how other artistic fields have the same kind of options to find money. As a musician, I find there is a lot of similarities with filmakers.
I feel like you are the big brother I never had. Love you man ❤️
Really useful tips, Matti, especially about the passive income streams. Thanks for creating this video!😊
Really helpful video! You're right about social media and building a following being really hard work. It's a fun learning experience though so I'll keep plugging away. I'm also trying stock footage, started with just stock photos but video looks to pay more so I hope I can make that work for me. Keep up the great videos!
2:13 "I'm not really a big spender."
Matti bought a _$27,000_ Mac Pro.
great video again!
thanks Matti!
*The end is awesome Man!)*
Thank you for this video! Really, it's great and useful for me as a beginner...
Yes, totally hits home after creating nearly 120 videos on youtube and a handful of audience. But thank you for the tips and all the best to those out there on the same journey
This video is so helpful, thank you for sharing!
Love your humbleness and great advice
Awesome video’Matt, really liked it 🙌🏾🎥☺️
Thanks dude 🙌🏻
I am in the baby shoes and it's really hard to get ahead. Especially with a full time job and a family at hand but I always feel so inspired by watching your videos :)
Appreciate your passion. ☀️☀️
Great advise thank you Matti
I‘m working part time for a church too, making videos and music, which is pretty cool! 😃 Working on building my own business too, making videos for clients and of course youtube... youtube is hard tho, takes so much time and no returns yet to pay anything but it‘s fun and i‘ll keep working and am pumped to grow it all over time! 💪
Thanks Matti. This video is definitely a big help👍🏼
I love you Mattih! Thank you so much for all your advice! I really appreciate it!
Matti... your videos are always helpful and your effort to help is also supportive. Thank you! This video though just didn't fit... it seemed to maybe have a place when a person is in a state of survival? But, all I can say from all my years of freelancing, that if you don't keep a tight focus - life's constant tornado will wipe you out. Focus and intense focus, which often comes due to pain - creates good results.
Great video Matti! Inspiring!
Thanks for the advice Matti! You definitely inspired me to do the TH-cam thing! I’m already a full time Freelance filmmaker & now TH-camr. I also have a merch store but having another revenue income is never a bad thing! Great Video! 👍🏼🎥🎬
Jared Magers Yeah, I do graphic design and having multiple revenue streams is a must. Great channel btw Jared 👌🏼
Jeff Oz thanks man.. much appreciated 🙏🏼
Awesome channel dude I’m gonna throw you a sub! I’m just starting my channel now! Need to work on an intro for myself and maybe a logo
Dan Unplanned nice man! Congrats on starting a channel. Better late than never 👍🏼🎥🎬
Jared Magers thanks man only a hand full of videos up at the moment in Prague and Iceland but I’m working on it
I too try to have this business mindset.
Im not a struggling artist anymore which is nice but still trying to figure out how to bring the whole operation to the next level.
Always value your opinion.
More business videos are always appreciated 🙏🏻
Very informative, thanks Matti
For me, the BEST part of the video is Kai running around the corner excited to see his dad. As a father of kids who are now 22 and 18, I sooo miss those days. Soak every minute of it in Matti. They go too fast.
This the exactly the guidance & Motivation i needed right now. I am a beginner filmmaker frm India. Left my daily job to make videos. Just started my TH-cam channel. Struggling to make money. Its so hard in India.thanjs Matti.
hi Matti, great info. Hope more people see it and this idea of gradual start.
Thanks Matti, your videos are pretty useful!
Thank you for the inspiration.
Love you Matti awesome video.
I think u got it right dude. You need to definitely understand business in order to be your most creative. The primary reason we have struggle/starving artists is because they don’t know how to market themselves.
Something I read that changed my outlook on money was that in order to be truly free to do what you love you need to detach money from time. Meaning, even if you’re trading your time to make money doing the thing you love, you are still a slave to it and can never truly do it in the way you want. However if you made money regardless of the hours you put in (IE: investing, passive income, etc) then you truly free to pickup and put down your passion whenever u desire.
Thank you for your honesty!
remember myself searching for every tip that could help me when I was starting... Now my channel got into the stream last August and now have around 440K and 3.2K new fans per month... and still learning how to lift up myself here on this platform
Thank you Matti you are one of my biggest inspirations! :D
Thank you so much. Inspired!
Tanx for the great advice...i appreciate these tips...i will keep this in mind...have a wonderful day matti...
Thanks a lot matti for sharing this piece of information 🧡
Glad you liked it
thank you! i really needed to hear this!
Nice, very helpful Matti!
Business leads to creativity .. well said, Matti
Nice. A company has value when the functions and readiness to generate revenue are built.
I love what you doing) waiting for the next one)
Very inspiring, thank you 💪🏻
#tyler you look so dope when you slides down but intensely your nervous and fells like fear factor vlog.. i like that clip you did bro..
A video of Matt showing his editing process could be nice!🤟🏼
Your content inspired me so much
My girlfriend/partner and I worked on our first real brand, FILTHLAMB, last year with both a merch line and a TH-cam Channel. Even though I have somewhat of a fanbase from my music videos and photography, it didn't really translate to a following here on YT. A year in, and dozens of videos later, and we're still only at 79 followers. haven't quite figured out how to break into a larger following yet. But this video is full of tons of great advice, and we absolutely plan to keep plugging away! Just found your Channel through Peter McKinnon's and you've definitely got a new fan!
