And my answer 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: to that is always yes. I think there are some 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: people who are just born to do business, and I 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: definitely feel like I'm one of those people. I love new, 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: I love change, and my answer is yes, I would 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: one hundred times over start so many different businesses in 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: my lifetime but I've kind of stitched myself up. I've 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: kind of stitched myself up with Fate actually turning into 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: something quite big where my hands are quite tired. That's 25 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: a great thing, obviously. For today's twelve Days of Big 26 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: Business episode, I thought I would tell you about a 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: business that I would start tomorrow if I could. And 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: the only reason why I'm not starting this business is cause, 29 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm quite busy with Fate and all 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: these other things that I've got going on in this 31 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: podcast and everything else in between. But this is a 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: business that I would love to do. And hey, maybe 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: one day in the future, if I just all of 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: a sudden get sick of everything that I'm doing, I 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: might actually do this. And it's a quite it's quite 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: a simple one, and I think it's actually something that's 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: going to become more and more popular. It already has 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: in recent years, and I think it's going to really 39 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: take over. And there are a lot of reasons why 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: I'd want to start it. But let me start by 41 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: actually telling you what it is. It's being a wedding 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: content creator. And so what is a wedding content creator? 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: And why would I want to do this kind of business. 44 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: So a wedding content creator. There's a lot of them now, 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: it's becoming super popular. But what I see it as 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: what I would love to do, is you get booked 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: to go and be a content creator at someone's wedding. 48 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: And it's more for your short short form content filmed vertically, 49 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: so for tiktoks and reels. And I know this sounds 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: crazy that this has actually become a business, but I 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: think there's just a lot of opportunity within it and 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: it's a very low cost business to run. It would 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: mainly probably be people booking you to capture those behind 54 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: the scenes little snippets of the day. If the bridal 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: party are wanting to do any trends, any transition reels, 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: and anything behind the scenes of getting ready, whatever it 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: may be. You'd get yourself booked and you would speak 58 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: with the couple and they would give to you a 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: list of all the things they want captured, and you'd 60 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: also have the skills to be like, I think we 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: should do this. I think we should do that. And 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: the reason I guess why I would want to do 63 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: this is number one, I love content creation and I've 64 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: been doing it obviously for a really long time. Number two, 65 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: it's a very low cost business. All you need is yourself, 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: probably two to three phones. I would say don't put 67 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: it all on one because you'll very quickly run out 68 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: of storage. And you need a keen eye and an 69 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: eye for detail and an eye for content creation. This 70 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: would be the perfect business for someone to get into 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: if they've just got that good eye for getting beautiful 72 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: shots and doing all the transitions. And not only in 73 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: this role would you do all your trending TikTok things, 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: but you could create some beautiful short videos as well. 75 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is a super low cost business. 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: You can quite literally do it on your own. Another 77 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: skill that you absolutely would have to have to do 78 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: a business like this is great people skills. You'd have 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: to be someone that can get along with people. I 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: definitely don't see this being a job suited to someone 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: who's maybe more quiet or shy, because you're obviously going 82 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: to be interacting with people on their most special day ever, 83 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: so you definitely have to have some charisma and people skills. 84 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: And the reason why I think it's becoming more and 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: more popular and it's going too is because the way 86 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: that weddings that have always been done traditionally for many 87 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: many years. Now is obviously you've got your professional photographer 88 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: professional videographer, which both still one hundred and ten percent 89 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: have their place. I've seen a lot online of people 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: kind of getting upset at this whole new era of 91 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: wedding content creators, and you know, photographers and videographers getting 92 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: pissed off that there's someone there with an iPhone capturing 93 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: all the content. But I think all of those people 94 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: have their place within a wedding and getting booked for 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: a wedding. But we're living in such a fast digital space, 96 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: right Like we make reels and post them the same day, 97 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: and traditionally, you know, when you're getting a beautiful video 98 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: made of your wedding by a professional videography team, you 99 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: could be waiting six, eight, ten, twelve or more weeks 100 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: for that one video. Whereas I think where the wedding 101 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: content creator comes into play is you can have that 102 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: content almost instantly to start sharing. And I just think 103 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: people want to share stuff really quickly these days, and 104 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: in the height of the excitement of their very special days. 105 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: So I think this is why wedding content creation is 106 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: something that I would absolutely love to get into. Now, 107 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to do this business. I've got 108 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: too much on my plate. But it's a business I 109 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: would absolutely do if I wasn't doing everything that I 110 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: am doing today. And while I'm on this topic, I 111 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: thought I would also mention just being in the wedding 112 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: industry in general, I think is a great industry to 113 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: be in. Like if you want to run a business 114 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: and it's in the wedding industry, I just think it's 115 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: one of those industries that is it's obviously very long running. 116 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: People have been getting married forever, and I just think 117 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: it's one of those businesses that's never going to go out. 118 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: Like I think people no matter how long this world continues, 119 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: people are going to get married forever and ever and ever. 120 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: And I just think it's an industry that you'll get 121 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: into and it's never going to die. Like it's not 122 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: an uncertain industry. You know, people talk about other industries like, oh, 123 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: it's a dying industry, or retail is dead or whatever. 124 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: I feel like, if you're in weddings, people are never 125 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: not going to get married. And obviously weddings are becoming 126 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: more and more expensive. Social media probably has a lot 127 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: to do with this with everyone wanting to put on 128 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: the best show ever to show off online, which is 129 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: kind of crazy when you think about it. But I 130 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: always say to Ajdam, we should have gotten into the 131 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: wedding industry in one way or another, because I just 132 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: feel like weddings are something that people are always going 133 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: to spend money on, and I think I can't speak 134 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: from experience, but I think there's a lot of money 135 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: in the wedding industry, and I just think becoming a 136 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: wedding content creator is such a cool little business. You 137 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: can do it on your own. It doesn't require much 138 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: financial input from the start. It's just you and your phone. 139 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: You would have a keen eye and editing app on 140 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: your phone, maybe familiarize yourself with light room filters to 141 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: make your videos look a little bit more vibe you, 142 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: and just have a great eye and understanding of social 143 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: media and content and oh my god, you'd be booked 144 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: be booked out. I would love to do it, but 145 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: maybe my way of getting into the wedding industry is 146 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: doing that wedding range that I've always wanted to do 147 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: with fate, I've always wanted to do, like wedding pajamas 148 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and you know, robes and all the bits and pieces 149 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: that the bridal party will get ready in the morning of. 150 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: So maybe I'll start there and then if I ever 151 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: get over all of this stuff, then I can go 152 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: into wedding content creation. But look it up. Look up 153 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: on TikTok wedding content creator. There's heaps of people on 154 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: there talking about being a wedding content creator. I know 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: that a lot of videographers and photographers are kind of 156 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: upset by this new wave of wedding content creators, but 157 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: I mean, the world is evolving, social media is evolving, 158 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: and I think having someone there on your day to 159 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: capture all those little behind the scenes moments in little 160 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: five second clips, I feel like it's so on brand 161 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: for the way that social media. So I thought i'd 162 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: share with you today that business and catch me maybe 163 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: in the future being a wedding content creator. Oh wait, 164 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: I think I forgot something for this, because this is 165 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the twelve Days of Big Business, right, What's yeah? I 166 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: think I'm just going to end this episode with the 167 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: word nutcracker.
