Fastest Way I'm Making Money with my Drone

- Stock footage sells too slow, this skips the line. Its consistent and residual.
Every month or two I'll get an email about using it for an event, on a realtors website, in a facebook ad, stuff like that. So consistently its been $400ish every 3-5 weeks on my Scottsdale Video. Anybody can be making these in their town, nobody does though idk why, which is fine I'll just drive there and make one lol. But This is the fastest way I'm making money with my drone.
Link to the Editing & Cinematography Online Drone Course, includes the drone business/marketing course now too so they are just one thing.
$100 Off because I love you I guess:
courses.dronel...
Before you ask the Mavic Mini is really cutting it close for this stuff but up to you. Can you get someone to buy from you? Yeah, people will buy iPhone footage if its exactly what they want.
Should you go apply for National Geographic? No.
Either way if you have a drone business or you want to make money with a drone, you should be doing this. Drone stock footage sells okay, IF you have good stuff but selling drone footage locally works better.
Mavic 3 - unbeatable, don't even need the Cine version. Even with the weirdness on launch, its still phenomenal
Mavic 2 Pro - great
Evo II Pro 6K - great
Air 2S - great but needs some color adjustments in the editor.
Inspire 2 - unstoppable, just noisy as hell
Evo II 8K - good
Mini 2 - good
Mavic Air 2 - good
Mavic Pro 1 - okayish... actually no its 2022 buy a new drone
Phantom 4 Pro/Adv - good
Phantom 3 adv/standard - okay
Mini 1 - no... but very fun
AUDIO:
Audiojungle.net is really good for fast/cheap stuff. Trailer sound effects too
Premiumbeat.com - higher quality, little more cost
MusicBed - earth shattering quality, but you have to message and negotiate with music creators
un... fricken' believable...
this dude started delivering the information THE SECOND the video started.
DAMN. people like you still exist??
instant subb
actually just that bitter about copy/paste TH-cam intros
And his name is literally Quick Ass Tutorials 😂
facts
Getting to the point can be less work intensive than what often other channels do by beginning with quirky lifestyle fluff to show off their filmmaking skills which in most times gets scrubbed passed anyway.
I sub’d too and for that same reason!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I put random drone footage online six years ago, it generated an inquiry, and snowballed into a small biz where now I'm booked through 2022. Main point: JUST DO IT. Shoot stuff, publish, learn, repeat.
Do you watermark your footage to prevent stealing?
@@jackrichardson5009 No I don't worry too much about that stuff. Just keep at it!
Fair play to you big man.
I really want to get into it.
Any advice on drones to start.
Where did you start posting to begin with your TH-cam channel?
On which Site do you Upload Stock footage ?
I'm not a videographer but found this video very interesting just because of no intro, no stupid title screen, no BS, just fact, advice , no teasing and no asking to like and subscribe! You sir, are doing it right!!!
I know right? Even if I didn't have a drone I would watch @QuickAssTutorial videos cos he's just so good at capturing attention.
#procrastinategang
@@CalebBerman Come on bro. There are better places to post this than a YT video on drones. Seriously, I'm a religious person but there's a time and a place for this kind of thing.
but did you like and subscribe or did you just click out to another video, leaving this guy high and dry with no meaningful thanks for his work? hmmmmm...
Dude!! I like how you talk and don’t bullshit. I needed this
Hey boi got me going
I wanna be a badass drone flying dude now! This dude is my spirit animal.
Nonsense laughable
What a breath of fresh air. No bullshit intro, no ego, no stupidity, just the bare facts! Good job mate 🇬🇧
I have been shooting for 40 yrs, I started for fun, then shot full time. i do multiple 6 figures every year --- this guy has SOLID info. No hyperbole, no bs, just solid. Refreshing Alex!
Hi I naturally got into drones as im an airline pilot love them. Mind it I ask what do you do for your business? Photography only? Inspections? Thermal images? Thanks
@@speedbird7976 Funny story --- Photography and real estate are my two top hobbies. We have always been in commercial real estate - and real estate development.
About 20± yrs ago, I saw a video - and I lost my MIND. I thought this is the ONLY way to market real estate. I interviewed a filmmaker - I told him I'd buy an ultralight if he'd do footage for me - we met, I showed him this clip - he wasn't into it. I was introduced to a Gaui 330X quadrocopter, so we built one and tried to use it - uncontrollable for us. Then we built another, then I had a guy in CA build one for us - all a mess with footage that was dreadful and birds that were totally out of control. Then DJI came out with a bird. - all in one package - it was a dream. Phantom 1 - a dream. I waited and bought this Inspire 1 - took it up, my now at the time 10 and 12 yr old sons said, 'this is better now - Dad, you just started 7 yrs too soon'. When I look at this video of Charlotte Church - its still amazing, but by today's standards... Enjoy this knowing this is where it all started for me - th-cam.com/video/VW3eMavZkm0/w-d-xo.html
Are 701 licensed?
I'm just amazed by your sheer common sense... I'm literally stunned... by the abundance of practical, actionable information you give. In a fake, click-baity world, being straightforward borders on brilliant. No fluff, no frills. I love it. Subscribed.
This is the most realistic TH-camr getting straight to the point and I love it. You explain marketing yourself to future customers phenomenally!
I didn't realize until he pointed it out, but it was so refreshing having no intro
I’ve never liked a video faster. Straight to the point no bs
The only dude on TH-cam with quality videos that never needs to be sped up.
Real talk I thought i was the only one that speeds up videos lol
Lol, I still watch at 1.5x
@@cyruskarsan9261 that's quite impressive, I'd miss to much
@@netaverse7694 I watch youtube at 1.25 min and usually 2x to bypass fluff I already know. Or 2x when I have headphones in and can focus.
True that
"Some guy prettending it's not too hot to mountain bike ." OMG, that's too funny! Thanks brother
thats what got me to subscribe to this guy
I laughed too
He got jokes 🤣
That was a good one for sure. LOL
yeah, that was hilarious and made even funnier by the fact that all you can see is the biker's back. something about someone 'pretending its too hot' but you can't even see their face, just makes it even better. the whole video was refreshingly well executed, especially in today's youtube economy.
Did not even skip a single second. That start was fucking genius. One just can’t double tap. You have my respect, sir! 🙌🏽
Of all the informative videos TH-cam, this is probably the best one I’ve seen. Zero BS in the script, very helpful, straight and to the point, and best of all, didn’t start out with “WhAts Up gUyS?!?”
“wwwwwhatsupyoutubechiefdroneaerials here, today we’re going to [title] but first really quickly really fast I just want to mention...”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂thats funny
Just subscribed because you went straight to the point, worth it for sure
Straight to the point and completely transparent. Thanks Alex. I’m a skeptic about a lot of you tubers but when I have the $ I think your course and straightforwardness might be worth it.
@@QuickAssTutorials I like your approach and enjoyed the video ... but lets not kid ourselves ...mr "what's up" has invested 10 years ..for a 2.2M net worth and 1.2m yearly income .... sooooo
Just got my first freelance job this week and I’m hooked now. Can’t wait to put your methods into action
Didn't have any desire to get a drone, somehow this video got recommended by the algorithm, and then boom I have a drone and uploaded my first edit within two days with the help of your other videos and have gotten amazing feedback. Your quick ass video tutorials have helped immensely, thank you!
Oh woow . Congrats
This is seriously one of the most down-to-damn-business videoes i've seen. Straight to the point, no messing around. Your seriousness is also just great, not eccentric, weirdly out of place over-the-top happy. You say what you think and explain how things are. It makes it easier to know what to focus on. Good job
I've never seen anyone get to the point in the first second of a YT tutorial. I'm picky about who I sub to, and yet I knew I had to sub to you immediately. All value, no fat. Thanks for existing
Across all of TH-cam, this was probably the most informative of content creation that I’ve seen. Good stuff. Will digest and do. Thanks.
One of the densest most informational best videos I have ever seen! Such a humble guy
Beastly done.
Man, you're legit my favorite person to listen to about drone related stuff. Hell yes.
I attended your webinar and all I have to say is thank you. No bullshit, straight to the point, good information. You're laid back and deliver information quickly. So much better than other creators out there who exaggerate their personality.
Right at 5:00! I love that you talk fast. It keeps me focused and I can learn so much. To put it in perspective I learn more in three minutes of your videos than 14 minutes on some other channel. Liked and subscribed… keep it up!!
That description of every TH-camr’s intro was amazing. Thanks for the quality info, quickly 🙌
thats why i started this channel, i was over it. Back in 2012 though, it wasn't 'WHADDUPTH-cam" it was a 12 year old dry heaving in a mic for 20 minutes
Dude, I just found your channel after having a hard time getting more clients. Your channel is literal gold. And I have never said that about any channel in my life. Well done man. Im subscribed
Oh my goodness you summed up my TH-cam experience! It drives me crazy when content creators do that! I know what I clicked on, haha. Thx 4 being real!!!
Dude this was one of the best TH-cam videos I've seen in I don't know how long.
I have literally no interest in anything related to drones - not sure why I'm even here watching this.
Straight forward, funny, and super valuable.
Nice.
i’ve recently gotten super into drones and recording drone footage, you’ve been my favorite channel so far thank you for all the information put out!!
A TH-camr with common sense and integrity ?
I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket This was just a fantastic video The more I dive into your content the better I like you Keep up the fantastic work brother It is definitely appreciated 👍👍
Love the videos mate, honest, raw, and straight to the point no BS.
Cheers from down under :)
Are they touchy about drone laws in Australia because I keep meeting Australians that fly, not sure if its more relaxed than here
@@QuickAssTutorials Very! I'll drop you an email. Would love to mention you/ and reference this video in our next video tutorial
Both you guys are some of my top drone content videos. Cheers from Canada, B.C.
I was about to say to myself "wow he really got straight to the point" and then I saw your channel name and it all made sense hahaha. This is the channel i have been looking for my whole life. Fiinalllyyyyy. subscribed.
This is some great advice and I appreciate the getting straight into it. Pet peeve of mine where 'tubers spend 5 minutes saying "let's dive/get straight into it" or "without further ado" and then proceed to waffle some more before 'diving right in'. Get on with it lol!!
Bro how can you be so funny and never crack a smile!!
Who else just Liked, subscribed, and queue up his next video lol?
Yea got that right!!!!
“BAM!!!, BAM!!!, BAM!!!!👍👍👍
TEACH ME SOME MORE AWESOME STUFF ‘DRONE YODA’!!!
Literally did it in that order! First time seeing this fella and immediately liked and subbed! He is just different and real!
i liked and subbed as soon as I started the video cause he didn't do the bullshit "heyyy guys!! quickasstutorials here!! today we..." 5 min long intro
The moment you said "I didn't say 'what's up guys' and then a 3 minute intro".... you got my sub. THANK YOU.
Best content by far on TH-cam. Straight to the point and very real about just getting out there and doing it.... followed by realizing what you missed. That is how I learn best.
testing for my Part 107 next Tuesday here in Las Vegas. Wish me luck.
Did you pass your 107?!
@@Reanimationed. do you need to have a 107 to sell footage?
@@Jalu_liveontwitch Yes, you do in the United States.
After watching your videos, all other videos become obsolete. Thank you for the direct cut and dry no nonsense info!
The fact that he gave us an answer in the first 2 seconds of the video caught me off guard. Big like from me.
All the respect to you for not doing any of the clickbait alg crap. Valuable, info dense but not terse, realistic. I don't even have a drone yet but I'm gonna subscribe
Honestly, I wish every TH-cam Video would be like this. Thank you. Highly appreciated.
Watched a bunch of drone channels and videos but this is the best channel! Finally pulled the trigger and bought the DJI Air 2S and super happy with it!
This was such a quality video. Love your no bullshit approach. Just subscribed on your channel after half of this video. Never heard of your channel before but I’m glad the algorithm recommended you.
Clear delivery with loads of information and examples. This is how it should be done and he didn’t say “Youse Guys” even once.
Nothing vague about this video. Everything is clear and specifically on point. Very well explained. Thanks again.
I appreciate that at the end of the video you say not to buy your course if the viewer would struggle financially. It may not seem THAT big, but for some a few hundred dollars are the difference between eating and not eating. I really appreciate your integrity.
“...Eagle family looking for a new home online” 😂😂😂Dude, take my sub!!
Yogi bear... 😆
I don't even have a drone, but major props for just making an informational video with no BS. Extremely rare nowadays.
"The drone anxiety will cause you to film it twice". So it's not just me that finds flying my drone stressful just waiting for it to go drastically wrong at any moment?! 😂
its the stares for me. I won't do it even if its legal if people are all going to look and its super quiet. I'll wait until a weekday when the beach is less busy or something. The inspire 2 is REALLY bad about that
@@QuickAssTutorials Yes! Thanks for clarifying that. You got good shots, but I always get hecklers and paranoid people giving me shit about flying my drone, even though Im within the legal guidelines, these days, I go early in the morning on Mondays. Nobody is around then.
@@QuickAssTutorials glad I’m not the only one scared to fly my drone in public
I always have this feeling everything is gonna go wrong and i end up wanting to finish flying ASAP
@@neoasura you have made me feel really lucky. All I have gotten is fascination, different cultures I suppose.
I don't own a drone, I'm not interested in aerial videography, I have no idea why I clicked this video. But I enjoyed every second of it.
i literally hit play expecting there to be some intro and was caught off guard like "oh dang he's already started"
First TH-camr I’ve subscribed to in more than 5 years. You cut the shit and get to the point. Love your work.
I appreciate the non bullshit approach and thanks for the Pokemon snap recommendation, and the drones.
This was literally the most knowledgeable 9min video: literally I’m confident now. This was the key to everything I needed. I’m gonna change all my shots.
I've watched this about ten times, learning something each time. Thanks for such a collection of wisdom. I make a decent living on another platform but haven't focused on skill and precision. It's time to look harder at that angle and your videos are a great start. Much appreciated! David
Yes, very content rich! Worth multiple views. So much better than sitting through a class.
That’s literally one of the best channels out there that offers tips on stuff. No bs, no st00pid screaming at you or tryin to sell you their sketchy course on udemy. ❤
Thank you, for this kind of content people usually spend a lot of money.
2:00 - I don't know why, but "and some guys pretending it's not too hot to mountain bike..." really hit my funny bone lol
"I'm not gonna go dig around to find out if you're a crazy person or 30lb gerbil". LOL too funny.😂
I'm not even into any of this and you STILL caught me and kept me watching the entire video. Well done and well put. THAT is how it's done!
I did this with a racing drone in Ventura and Solvang. Can confirm the phone will ring!!!
I kept seeing your ads on Facebook and finally one of your videos popped up as a suggestion. Got me feeling motivated again, you now have another subscriber and potentially another customer. But I have thrown so much money at this stuff so far so I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger.
this is the most real advice and content i've seen on this topic
This is the epitome of a “true” video on TH-cam!!
This reminds me of when TH-cam started before we were all click-baited and social engineered into watching videos with 5 guys muck banging and a sponsor per video.
Thank you for doing TH-cam right!
Promoting valuable and useful information without wasting time.
My mind is completely blown 🤯 I didn’t know videos like this still existed!
So a big thank you!
I’m going to use my drone footage to sell my SoundCloud raps
Man, I’m applauding my taste and TH-cam for understanding it so well it directed it to you and your content.
"And since we know nobody cares about you..."
LMAO, this guy gets it
Dude, it’s the third video in a row I’m watching from your channel. So many questions about owning a drone answered, straight to the point, no boring introductions or irrelevant stuff. Top quality content. Subscribed.
If you upload everything to TH-cam though in full resolution, what's the stop people from just scree recording it and using it for free without telling you?
Watermarking it may help. It's not full proof when it comes to someone using it personally for their project or closed door presentations. However for the big ticket customers like developers, local authorities or media outlets, screen recording it with a watermark then publishing as theirs looks unprofessional for them. Plus that's a copyright infringement lawsuit headache they don't need, so would rather license it.
Bro, you’re the most funny coolest and the most authentic person. I’ve must’ve watched this video lots of times and enjoyed it a lot and got a lot of value out of it thank you, my bro.
"And some guys who're pretending it's not too hot to mountain bike"😂
"people avoiding taxes in their mansions and some guys pretending it's not too hot to mountain bike" happy to be the newest subscriber
Damn, I missed the taxes crack. That mountain bike bit had me in stiches.
8:46 did you deadass learn photography from Pokémon snap? 😂. If you did I’ll seriously buy it on my switch to get better practice for my mavic air 2
When It comes out on the switch I won’t make a TH-cam video for months. I’ve been checking yearly since I was EIGHT for a follow up Pokémon snap. I got so tired of waiting I started using my own camera to practice
Then started using people to practice for Pokémon
I still throw an apple at a model to entice a happy response
@@QuickAssTutorials you’re hilarious my guy. Subscribed
Gosh I wish every TH-camr was like you, no nonsense no bullshit just straight to the point.
Can you make a video about dealing with, as you say, "drone anxiety"? I thought I was the only one who experiences that. :)
Done and done... course purchased! Just bought my first drone and want so bad to get out of the hospitality industry. I can sell myself just fine but I'm clueless when it comes to this industry. I'm sold and here for it. Thank you for the inspiration. I'm excited to get start.
nice vid. though to up your professionalism to clients watch out for typos ---> "inquiries"
Dude, this guy is the best. NO BS. Straight to the point.
Question for you, since I’m new to this realm. I have a mini 2 so I don’t have to license my drone. I’m curious though, in order to sell footage, are pilots required to get a Part 107?
Yes im pretty sure
You sir are a great presenter, your no BS way of giving this information is truly funny, witty , extremely encouraging and informative ...well done sir !!!😎
I'm guessing you need a Part 107 to be able to sell your footage?
I'm also curious
@@mickoharevisuals I think the IRS has already answered that question... technically yes.
The answer is absolutely yes. No ifs ands or buts. From my reading of the rules you can't even post your footage to social media without a license as someone else could take and use the footage for commercial use, but YOU would be liable for it in the eyes of the FAA (and the IRS).
@@nothanks3236 But then they could do the same with still photos! Who's drawing the lines in the sand here?
You need a Part 107 in the US even if only your channel is monetized.
I so love just getting to business and not wasting time... Learning a lot in just one video. Thank you
Pro tip: you will get more inquiries, if you spell inquiries correctly. 3:)
Was also going to mention this, solid video and advice though
TH-cam needs to change their algorithm to the tune of your videos
No fluff, real talk, comic relief
Bought the Mavic Mini Pro 3 tonight because of your Drone Guide video
Looking forward to watching more of your stuff
Do you mean the DJI mini 3 pro? Because you just scared me into thinking that DJI dropped a mini Mavic that I missed. I ran to the website so fast, lol.
I would have to agree with you about the Real Estate Agents. They're bunch of cheapskates!
INSTANT! Subscriber. No bs, straight to the point. I've been dreading starting a channel, looking at all the "how to's" and "5 tips to start", but it just seemed like selling your soul to the TH-cam worm hole of perfecting an algorithm to gain traction. Thank you for inspiring me to just stick to my (similar, straight to the point) personality and just hit record. People will do whatever they want, who cares.
Nineteen thumbs down. Apparently nineteen people start every video with "what's up guys? today we are *reiterates video title*"
All videos with a decent amount of views get some thumbs down
One of the main reasons I love this channel, besides the awesome content, is because of your no nonsense, straight to the point delivery. So many cringe TH-camrs out there have clickbait titles and over produced intros, whereas you have one of your main points WRITTEN in the thumbnail and you get RIGHT into it when the video starts.
Love your channel dude and appreciate your amazing humour, delivery style and content. 10/10
Thank you for being straight to the point and not doing a long intro that was unnecessary. This was incredibly helpful.
Keep it reel dude. One of the few on TH-cam who don’t let their ego take over. Like the honest talk.
I’m not looking to make money off my drone, but I’m subscribing because this is one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen.
Didn’t skip forward, ^and^ never needed to skip backward because something blew by too fast. Master level timeline management.
I stumbled across your channel I think two days ago and you’re my new favorite TH-camr. I’m putting your videos in queue and taking notes. 10/10
I’m legit at the very least smiling every time I watch your quick and to the point tutorials as I appreciate your sense of humor. In this video, I’m smiling because this is a goldmine of information and has suggestions that are both incredibly smart and logical.
This was the fastest I've ever subscribed to a channel!
DUDE! The TH-cam-isms were top notch along with the info. “Now without further ado” makes me want to punch my computer screen! I received my new DJI Air 3 two days ago and I live in a part of California that’s developing like I’ve never seen. No one up here is doing drone photography. I will be checking in with your channel frequently. Thanks!
out of all the videos ive seen this gentleman is really genuine in what he says and does
bro's dropping knowledge like a time traveller with only 10 minutes to shift humanity to the good timeline
Haha..best description 😅
I watch you for your dry, sarcastic delivery as much as I do for the drone and video content. Love it!
It’s so refreshing to see a creator who gets straight to the point! I can’t stand the youtube meta of 3 minute intros of self promotion. Thank you! subbed.
You know what I like about you, you take care of your viewer's pockets, you're not out to grab cash and go. This makes you authentic. Once I can afford it, I'm definitely going to try your courses. The fact that you have jam packed so much legitimate info into this video, makes one wonder how much more you have to offer to teach. Thank you so much!
5:10 Thank you so much for saying this! I always block those channels that do this. It's so annoying.
One of the best TH-camrs I have every come across. Straight to the point, and honest. Also, watermark the videos with contact info might work well.
What a relief to have someone giving me what I came for in the first 5 seconds. I really mean that. I usually have to watch some sort of vlog just to get the info I want.
Thanks
