    Thanks for watching and it’s my hope that this information can help you reach whatever goals you have in 2025. Also quick editing note, at 11:51 I said “2024” and meant to say “2023” which was the year I launched this book.

    You are running the exact same business model that I’m dreaming about everyday. I would love to do what you’re doing and I’m trying to chase after it every chance I get. You are an inspiration.

    And after videos like these I realize I will never make it as a photographer. Tough most people like my work, and everyone is telling me I should do this as a profession, I don't have a knack for running a business. It's complicated for me, I can only make pictures but no idea how to promote myself and tbh it's too much of a hassle. Good info tho.

      Some people aren’t built for running a business without a great mentor, accountant, lawyer, etc and a willingness to be ok with anxiety about the future. That’s ok! Be the best employee, manager, or right hand man you can be. Try to get in a position where you can be rewarded for sales or growth. A percentage of someone else’s business can be more lucrative than running the business. Find your place, carve out a way to make extra, and work on yourself.

      Do you want to own your own photography business full-time or just prefer to keep it as a hobby and side hustle to make some extra money from time to time? Nothing wrong with that of course 😁 great options either way

    👀 The transparency is much appreciated, Evan!! The whole series of videos leading up to this video has created a content loop of value for the viewers; all while really adding an additional stream of income through social media (TH-cam revenue). That's a good system, Ingenious bro. 👏🏾

    Such an informative video, Evan. Thank you. I have a following on Facebook of 115k and Facebook invited me to monetize my photography (plus a few simple videos a month) page in January 2024. I've been considering going to the next step by launching a book and your strategy is invaluable.

    My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Magnolia Angel, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.

    I made a video about picking a "guru" and one on balancing cost and benefit and recognizing "cost". One day I hope to make good videos but that takes practice. I never expect to make money with my photography but I have found that most of your advice works with my personality/mindset. That is the most important part.

    • @RanftEvan

      Means a lot! I always get nervous publishing videos like this because it’s easy for people to misinterpret them. But my goal is to make something different from what’s already out there. So I really appreciate the kind words 🙏

    Haven't watched yohr videos in awhile and i must say i like your approach when it comes to structure and organization in your book.
    By the way ive joined the media team (college) and I'll be volunteering to snap photos on campus events, sports, and activities. I bought a Kodak AZ528 and a Casio Ex-F1 (comming Monday). I can't wait to practice on both and ibwas consodering making a photobook for the Spring semester since I'm in business management.

      @@RanftEvan once I take those photos I'll compile them and organize them and I'm naming the book "Genesis." FYI: I name my Kodak (Midnight Star and My Casio Ex-F1 The Gallant) I thought I can add flair so I can be well known on campus. Question how does one become a legendary photographer?

    No idea why, but I got to minute four and I thought... hang on... I'm at the end of a forty year photography career and I am just spending a bit of time making what I hope will be a few youtube videos because I hope someone out there will benefit from learning about how I work, how I see the world, how I photograph it. I'm not interested in subscribers or likes or sponsors, it's just time for me to put back something into an industry that for decades allowed me a very pleasant, travel heavy life. I hope just one person gets inspired, that's worth $50K to me.

    The one negative thing about this very valuable content is this ranting with ever a pause. With no breathing it quickly becomes undigestible.
    Is this fear of loosing the "attention" or what is it?

    Grabbing $50K like Evan is not easy, but a well-crafted email pitch can be your best friend. I have been on Mystrika for over 5 months and it streamlined my cold email campaign like never before. The provider matching and tag management save so much time. Their warmup process, especially in Spanish and French, ensures no email gets lost. If you are still on the fence, their fantastic free masterclass might just tip the scales for you.

    • @Arturborzecki

      that 50k is not what he grabbed ;) that’s his goal when he finally sell all 5-10k copies he had to order to get printout for $ 70 add margin of 9,99 and then sell… he will get it in 2050 ;) that’s the harsh reality - sorry but these videos are here to sell all his other merch…
