Doing business with the H.
Most of you know flying for business isn’t going to get you rich, by a long shot!
However, if you’re looking for extra money to support your hobbies, such as boating or taking that gal of yours out more often, then consider this.
I decided to take a different route in marketing utilizing the H. Business Aerial photography, some of you maybe already doing this.
(Commercial construction, to many hoops to go through).
As you recall aerial photography has primarily been done flying a Cessna 150 and a camera.
Since Dec 6th 2018 I have been able to obtain 21 clients (and this during the holidays).
Some of my clients have multiple locations. I’m also now getting referrals. Including commercial accounts, go figure, it’s a who’s who in this business world.
Depending on your location, you’re going to have to figure what you should charge for that Aerial.
Try to get a minimum of 4 to 5 clients to say yes, do this in one day. It's easier than you think.
I usually don’t even try to fly that day unless I know the weather is going to be lousy later on.
When the weather is not flyable I go out contacting clients. I’m about 60 to 65% yes for photos.
So now you can make x$ times 5 clients.
Marketing is key!!! Keep it simple, really simple, picture will sell itself.
I also have samples to show what I am capable of. You need samples, if not you're wasting your time!
To start I only had a couple of examples to show. You may want to start with Car shop, auto body shop, tire shop, Landscaping nursery.
Now I have clients such as Ace Hardware, Auto National Trucking Company, and my white board is filling up for future projects.
I’m not here to brag on myself only to help those who are looking for that niche for disposable income. I'm retired so I don't need lots of mula.
See image:
4 different aerials of businesses.
The picture frames (real glass) I purchase from Walmart 11” x 17” $4.92 each. Minuteman does my printing, so you need to have them print @ 12” x 18”, then you cut it down to fit, using a exacto knife and cutting board. prints will show where to cut.
If you want additional info let me know, however I will not disclose my price, that’s for you to decide.

Like the old saying goes - Where there is the will, there is a way. Hey AH, if you need a 'B' camera, let me know.
