The honest part
This is the easiest lane to start and the hardest to get paid in. Lots of people post drone clips, so what sells is a style or a niche, like local businesses, travel spots or FPV. If you post on a channel that earns money, or shoot for a business, you need Part 107.
What this work pays
We haven't found a pay source we trust for this lane yet, so we're not showing a number.
First three moves
- Post one short clip a week for a month and see what people respond to.
- Pick a niche (your town, a hobby, local businesses) and stick to it.
- Offer one local business a short clip for their page, then ask for a testimonial.
