Being upfront about your work style and what kind of vibe you bring to the day of the shoot as a female videographer helps attract the right clients.
4. Appreciate my Passion
As a creative professional providing a service, I find it valuable when a client recognizes and appreciates the passion you have your craft. The years of unpaid internships and other experiences you’ve gained to get where you are now feel like they really paid off. In turn this gives the videographer confidence to bring that same passion to each project that they are hired to work on.
5. Making a New Friend
For me, when I find the perfect client match, it's not hard nore forced, I feel satisfied that the client trusts my vision. Harboring all the requirements above, enjoying the process, loving the outcome and results, possibly getting hired again, and during this organic cycle, gain a great friend in all of it. Basically, the way to attract a great partner or friend is the same way you would attract the perfect client. So the secret is out, though such an obvious method, it helps make sure that you can provide the most exceptional content to client as you can.
