Semi-New to Business

I just wanted to take a moment and say Hi. I am semi new to the business. I shot some video work a few years ago but never got heavily involved in the business after that. But ever since I did that work, I have been thinking of coming back and giving it a shot this time, 100%.

I realize the business is not as lucrative as it was back then but I still want to give adult a shot. How hard would it be to make a decent living just starting out? I have a ton of respect for you guys and don't expect to come right in and make $$$$. Many of you have been working long and hard at this. Please know that I come in with a ton of respect and admiration for you guys.

Right now, I don't have any web or marketing skills but I am adequate behind the camera, both video and stills. Could someone make a decent living $40-50k/yr just shooting and providing content?

I would like to one day run my own site but I have a lot to learn and do not expect someone to take me under their wing. I am very familiar with record keeping and the various laws and certain niches. I would even be willing to offer 25% of all my future revenues if someone would be willing to help me along with learning how to design a site, find a good niche, teach me a little about traffic trades etc...

If not, I understand and thank you for your time. I just want to work hard and break away from the 9to5 shit.

I can shoot HD content exclusively and edit as well. I can deliver in multiple formats if desired.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to GFY. I'm sure after the initial moaning you will probably receive some good advice (of course you need to spend a good few hours digging out the advice that's already been written here too!)

Whereabouts are you based?

Oh, I would forget about the 25% deal if I were you too, for now anyway.

Thank you for the well wishes. I am based in Central Florida currently. I appreciate not getting ripped for asking for advice. I tried searching through some of the old posts but a lot seem to be sig spots. I am willing to learn and that's the most important aspect.

I would like to start out shooting custom content for someone. The 25% revenue thing was only if someone took me under their wing and helped show me the way. Thats the least I could do for them.

What niches are more likely to draw the custom content deals?
