I’ve been flying drones for a few years now, mostly to capture landscapes while I’m out fishing. Lately, I’ve been wondering how people actually make the leap from doing it for fun to running a full business with it. I keep hearing about folks who’ve managed to turn their side passion into their main gig, and I’m really curious about the specifics.
What does that transition look like? Did they start by selling prints online, or did they land a contract with a real estate agency first? I’m especially interested in how they handled the business side of things pricing, insurance, marketing coming from a purely hobbyist background. Any stories or insights would be great to hear.
