Start and grow a freelance videography business in days - not years.

We all love shooting and editing videos, but when it comes to marketing, selling, and trying to find clients - most videographers don't know where to start.

This class is worth it's weight in gold.

Josh, New York

"I've always felt like I was just getting by on the business side of things. Now I feel much more put together and confident after the lessons I've watched and implemented. My fear about the future has turned into excitement. That's priceless.  Thank you for putting this class together, Ryan. It's worth its weight in gold."

Best Purchase I've Made!

Andrew, Iowa

"Without a doubt, the best purchase I've made as a small business owner. If you are looking to get into a market that continues to grow every day - check out Solo Video Pro."

I am really glad I signed up!

Sam, Iowa

"For those contemplating on taking the course, I literally JUST finished the first season of lessons and found it super helpful. I honestly hadn’t put as much thought into the legal side of my business... but it gave me something to think about. Also it’s video style so literally listened while driving. Any content I want to go back over and take notes, it’s super easy to get back. So, all that to say, from the bit I’ve seen so far, I’m really glad I signed up #notasponsor:"

FAQ

  • Why pay for a course?

    The free training is offered at no cost or obligation to you. The full course is a paid training because it will teach a skill set that will directly generate revenue for your business. Paid courses also add accountability so you actually apply the knowledge you learn.

  • What if I have no business knowledge?

    That is perfectly fine. Most creatives are focused on the craft, not the books. That is why Ryan created this course. He condenses his university education in business and experience in the field to make lessons easy to follow and implement in your own day to day.

  • What if I am not a beginner?

    This course can help any solo freelancer regardless of where they are at in their journey. Even if you are booked out and overwhelmed with work, this course will address those issues and how to overcome them.

  • What is included?

    16 video lessons covering how to overcome major issues at each phase in your business. You will also receive multiple downloadable resources and access to Ryan's private Facebook mentorship group to gain access and support from other freelancers in this industry.

  • What if I have no camera gear?

    Then you have a clean slate, which isn't a bad thing! Included in the course bonuses, is a gear recommendations list to get you off of the ground getting what is essential and cost sensitive. At the end of the day, its the craftsman - not the tools that matter. To see a full list of gear Ryan uses to create commercial videos, check out www.kit.com/snaadt

  • When will I lose access to the lessons?

    Never. This course has lifetime access. Watch, leave, implement, and return if you need a refresher.
