What makes you different? Do you hate that you can't be like everyone else? Are you constantly comparing your work to someone else's thinking you will never get there? We do this all of the time. We are our worst critic, and we usually try to hide the quirks that make us different than everyone else.

When John met Eric Floberg at Venture Workshop, it was love at first sight. Not really, he was actually kind of like "who the heck is this guy?" Eric was completely okay with just being himself, quirks and all. This is what makes him so easy to relate with. Maybe it is why his YouTube channel is blowing up with over 34,000 subs at the time of this recording (https://bit.ly/2X3B15u), or why his Instagram has over 25,000 followers (https://bit.ly/2Mp4CRb).

John sits down with Eric to talk about how numbers on social media don't really fulfill you. Being vanilla in your business, or just trying to fit in, isn't fulfilling either. So what do you do? You lean in to what makes you different.

We also talk about how Eric booked an insane Yosemite destination wedding, and how it has made him over $40,000 since he has shot it. Buckle up friends, you are going to enjoy this one!

Processing payments, sending contracts, keeping up with details. It can all get a little overwhelming when running a business. Let's face it, we only have so much time in the day. Most of us are a one or two person company, and the details can get the best of you if you aren't careful. This is why we LOVE using CRMs.

If you don't use one, you definitely should be!

037: How To Crush Your Facebook and Instagram Ads with Max Sadik Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

🖥 🛒 Visit the How To Film Weddings Website & Shop: https://bit.ly/2X5PoSz

Facebook ads don't work for me. Marketing on social media is a waste of money. Most all of us have said this from time to time. But what if we were just doing it wrong? What if there was a way to make more money, and find your ideal clients by using the tools created in Instagram and Facebook? We stumbled upon Max Sadik a few months back, and he is literally crushing it when it comes to Facebook and Instagram Ads. Not only is he a wedding photographer, he has an incredible Facebook Group (http://bit.ly/2Wji3SV) where he gives away a TON of free content on how to grow your business using these tools. Not to mention he is Facebook Certified for their ad platform. Which means the dude went and took classes on these things. Pretty much the Yoda of social media marketing for wedding professionals. Not to mention, the dude has an incredible beard and haircut. Buckle up, because this week might take you for a ride!

SEE YA!

035: Shooting for your Edit with Archaius Creative Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

While John was out at Venture Workshop, he sat down with David and Breanna from Archaius Creative to talk to them about what all they were teaching at the workshop, and to hear a little more about what they can offer to our community.

They can cull your footage, all the way through completely editing it for you. They have colorists, sound engineers, and more to help you with whatever you might need with your business.

With that being said, they have edited hundreds of films, and see some of the same mistakes over and over again. So John sits down with them to talk about what they see on a weekly basis with editors from all over the country. This is a great episode for you to listen in as we have a conversation about editing, shooting for the edit, and ways they can help you out.

034: Never Over Draft Your Bank Account Again May 27, 2019

Show notes

We have all been there. We wake up, open up our banking app, and see a negative balance. We frantically try to figure out what we can sell, what isn't bolted down at our house, and we wonder why we ever got into business for ourselves in the first place. It sucks. Straight up can drive someone to a state of depression if you aren't careful.

So what do we do to make sure this never happens again? Earn more? Spend Less? A lot of us creatives think we can out earn our stupidity when it comes to handling our money. You can have a high six-figure business, and still over draft your account if you aren't paying attention (trust us, John did this in 2017). We are all human, we all deal with this, so we figured we'd sit down and talk through what we both do in order to make sure this doesn't happen.

Nick gets a little vulnerable and asks John to go through his process of how he makes sure he doesn't over draft, and what systems he put in place to make sure he is solid, especially in the dry months, or the off season. This episode will give you so much PEACE if you follow what we are teaching. The truth of the matter is you HAVE to pay attention to this stuff or you won't be in business for long.

So pour yourself a cup of Joe, throw in those earbuds, and listen to John and Nick as they walk through EXACTLY what they do to make sure they don't overdraft their accounts.

033: Live Q&A From Venture Workshop in Denver, CO May 20, 2019

Show notes

Hold up, wait a minute. Did that just happen? We are still pinching ourselves to make sure this really happened. John was able to sit down with ALL of the speakers from Venture Workshop (https://bit.ly/2VEjdwV) for a LIVE Q&A in front of all of the attendees. We took questions from our Facebook Group (https://bit.ly/2DPCelB), our Instagram page (http://bit.ly/2z2NuIA), and we took questions from the live studio audience.

We had fun, we answered some tough questions, and we all teared up a little bit to a few of the answers. The thing that we took away so much from this week is the community aspect. WOW. What a community of wedding film makers, and we were blown away at how they treated us. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and for the people who put on Venture Workshop.

The lineup included Jay Worsley, Jordan Bunch, Seth Dunlap, David Reynosa, Calen Rhome, Matt Johnson, Scott McKenna, and Kristine Rhome. What in the literal heck. What a lineup. Check links below to follow everyone!

032: Live Q&A 002 II How To Film Weddings Podcast May 13, 2019

Show notes

We are pumped to release this brand new episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast! This week is a recording from our LIVE Facebook Q&A we had in April. John and Nick sat down to answer any and every question that was thrown our way.

We love our Facebook community, and are amazed at how fast it has grown. We are now able to do things like this, where YOU the listener can help us create content that is not only timely, but relatable to what you are actually going through.

We promise that one day we will figure out how to make sure both of us are recording good audio (Nick accidentally didn't record into his good mic), and that we get the Facebook lives working properly (John had to restart it twice, dropped his phone). Even though it isn't perfect, we think the content is more than worth it. Our apologies this week as the audio is a bit rough on Nick's end, but hey, you didn't pay for this anyway!

If you're interested in joining our Facebook group, the link is below. We'd love to have you join! Until next time, SEE YA!

031: Hello Tomorrow Films, Adding Personality To Your Brand May 06, 2019

Show notes

Not going to lie, we pretty much just laughed and cut up for an hour when we talked to Mac and Erin from Hello Tomorrow Films. They are so full of personality, and it is refreshing. To be honest, they felt like friends. Which is exactly what we talked about with them. How to infuse your personality into your brand. How to make yourself stand out and be attractive to the IDEAL clients for you.

John stumbled about Hello Tomorrow Films last year, and was immediately drawn in. Mainly because of a video they have on their about page (see the video here https://bit.ly/2UWkkTx) where they are in front of the camera. It shows them in all of these amazing locations, with a voice over telling THEIR story. This got us thinking, not too many people show their story too much. Especially on our websites. So we chat for a while about just how they do that. How they fuse their personality into their brand, and how that has affected the price they can charge, along with the couples they book.

It can be hard to put yourself out there. But in 2019, couples want to SEE who they are going to be working with on the wedding day. So we break down some thoughts on how to add personality to your brand, and help grow your business. We also chat about how they work together as a husband and wife team, and how great it is in Canada.

A quick thank you once again for the AMAZING community that has surrounded us at HTFW. Our Facebook group is growing so fast (check it out here https://bit.ly/2DPCelB), and our podcast continues to grow each week. THANK YOU for sharing our videos, and helping us spread the word! Until next time, see ya!

030: Building a 6 Figure Business in 2 Years with Jake Weisler II How To Film Weddings Podcast Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

$0 to $100,000 in 2 years. That is what Jake Weisler has done with his business. Is this typical? Not at all. So how did he do it? Spoiler alert, he put in a TON of work, has incredible films, and knows how to build his brand (mainly on Instagram). Don't worry, we talk through exactly what he has done to grow his business in a relatively short amount of time.

We talk about it on the podcast all of the time. The Crockpot method, not the microwave. This might feel like a microwave. But it isn't. He has slowly built this brand by doing more work than the average guy. So the question is, what is holding you back? Hopefully this episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast will help you push into that 6 figure range with your business.

Also, a quick shoutout to all of you listening and joining in. It means the world with us. We are now reaching thousands of listeners, and are sort of blown away at how receptive this community has been to us. We don't take it lightly that you are giving us your time. So all we can pretty much do is send some good vibes, and digital high fives your way! Until next time, SEE YA!
