The Challenge
- 1
Denver videographers spend $2,200-4,500/month on ads while equipment costs drain profits continuously
- 2
Cost per inquiry in Denver: $140-280, with couples ghosting after sticker shock from $3K-$8K pricing
- 3
Endless editing cycles mean working 80-hour weeks while making less than full-time employees
The Solution
Get monetized in 30-60 days and earn platform revenue while building videography education authority
120-250+ videography tutorial videos monthly teaching Rocky Mountain cinematography and storytelling
YouTube positions you as THE Denver video educator - couples seek you out at $5K-$15K, not $2K Craigslist shooters
