Rates, referrals and people who get it
Creating outdoors is isolating and the money is opaque. Most creators have no idea what to charge because nobody talks about it. That is the conversation worth having.
Rate transparency
What people actually charge for a reel, a day rate, a usage licence. Guessing low is the most expensive mistake new creators make.
Find a collaborator
A second shooter for a trip, someone who knows the permit process, a person on the ground where you are heading.
What actually worked
Pitches that landed, brands worth working with, and the ones that pay late.
Apply to the roster
One application, free.
Introduce yourself
What you cover, where you are, what you are working on.
Ask the awkward questions
Especially about money. That is what it is for.
Show up for other people
The creators who answer questions get referred for work. That is not an accident.
Is this a Slack, a forum, or what?
It starts small and deliberately low tech. We would rather have fifty people talking than five thousand lurking.
Do I have to participate?
No. Plenty of creators just take the work and go, and that is completely fine.
