From $450 Shoots to $45K in Retainers — Mitch’s Story

Mitch was about to hit the slow season.

He shoots real estate in a smaller market in Canada — and every winter, things dry up.

On top of that?

👉 His wife couldn’t work.
👉 He had a baby on the way.
👉 And the jobs just weren’t there.

So instead of sitting around and “waiting for the market to pick up,” Mitch did something different:

He started pitching retainers to local businesses — and in 4 months, he closed $45K in deals.

“I see way more talented videographers in my area, but they’re not making what I’m making. It’s the structure that changed everything for me.”

Watch the full case study here

His first deal was with an elevator company for $15K.

His second was a plumbing business that paid him full price without even blinking.

Why?

Because he knew exactly how to communicate the value of his work.

And here's the kicker…

He landed both clients with paid ads, even though he’d never run ads before.

“I just moved to the area. No one knew who I was. The ads made it easy to get leads AND build trust right away.”

Now, instead of clawing for $450 one-off jobs, Mitch has real clients who depend on him to grow their business.

Same gear.
Same amount of shooting.
Massively different income.

If you’re stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle… and you know your work is better than what you're getting paid…

Then it’s time to make a change.

Just like Mitch did.
