You've got the portfolio. You've got the reviews. So why does it feel like pulling teeth to get someone to say yes to your biggest package? 👀
We asked a room full of creatives to put a hand up if selling their core offer felt hard. Almost every hand went up.
The problem isn't the price. It's the position they're in.
A stranger isn't evaluating your work. They're evaluating their risk. Asking someone who found you last week to hand over $8,000 for a wedding day or a full brand campaign is an enormous leap of trust, and no pricing guide is going to close that gap for you.
So most creatives sit and wait. Post, nurture, hope the right inquiry shows up.
Meanwhile the sales window stretches from weeks into months into years.
In this episode we break down The Offer Pitstop™, the three-offer structure that gives people a low-risk way onto your road before you ever ask for the big yes. You'll learn how to build an On-Ramp Offer that earns trust fast, why most "smaller" offers quietly cannibalize the very offer they were built to sell, and the free and paid on-ramps we're running in our own agency right now.
- Why trust, not talent, is what's blocking your biggest sales
- How to build an on-ramp that doesn't compete with your core offer
- Free on-ramps that cost you 20 minutes: audits, teardowns, and guides
- The $399 UGC project that leads to an $8,000 campaign
- The 3-part test every on-ramp has to pass
Get the sequence right and your core offer stops being a leap. It becomes the obvious next step.
P.S. Building offers that actually sequence into each other is Week 1 work inside the Creativ Rise Mastermind. Open Enrollment launches August 19th with only 10 spots for the September cohort. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com and we'll send you the Sales Call Formula free to binge while you wait.

Would you raise your prices if you knew it would get you more inquiries, not fewer? 👀
Most creatives price from fear.
You look at your number, imagine the client's reaction, and shave a few hundred off before you ever send the guide. It feels like you're removing an obstacle.
You're actually adding one.
Louelle Adanza was charging $1,700 for a full wedding video and $500 for an entire brand campaign shoot. The work was gorgeous. The bookings were slow, the conversations circled the budget, and she was too burnt out to take on more anyway.
Then she changed the number.
Weddings now start at $5,999 for photo and $10,700 for photo and video. Brand days run $6,300 and up.
Inquiries went up after the increase, and in the last two months alone she and her husband Richard brought in $57,000. That's a full year of her old income, in sixty days.
In this episode Louelle walks us through exactly what changed, what she'd do differently, and the systems now running underneath both of her businesses.
Here's what we get into:
- Why underpricing reads as a red flag, not a bargain
- How to know when you've earned another price increase
- The two-ad funnel doing $200 to $300 a month and tripling their bookings
- Making clients book a call before they can even inquire
- Whether to run weddings and brand work under one name or two
Better pricing doesn't just change your revenue. It changes who shows up, what they ask you, and how fast they say yes. 🚀
Louelle built a 6 figure business with us inside of 12 months, do you want to do the same? The Creativ Rise Mastermind applications open August 19 - get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com. Limited to 10 new members only.
P.S. Pricing is a math problem, not a confidence problem. Our free Pricing Calculator runs the exact numbers Louelle had to face at www.creativrise.com/pricingcalculator.

This week Christy and I are pulling back the curtain on something we've never fully explained before: the exact reason some inquiries go quiet right when things should be heating up. ⚡️
If you're a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager running your own creative business, this is the pinned post and content funnel we've personally used for over a decade.
A client goes cold after what felt like a great first conversation. Someone downloads your pricing guide and you never hear from them again. It happens to almost every creative business, and most people assume it's a pricing issue or a fit issue. Usually it isn't.
So today we're laying out the actual system running behind our own agency, Speers Collective, the one that gets people arriving at a sales call already halfway convinced.
We call it Bingers Become Buyers, and it's built to turn someone who's never heard of you into a booked client without you having to talk them into anything. 🫣
Here’s what’s covered:
- Why time spent with your brand matters more than the pitch itself
- The Bingers Become Buyers funnel, broken down step by step
- How three pinned posts can build more trust than a polished highlight reel
- The 15 to 20 minute mark that tends to signal someone's actually ready to buy
- The case study format we use to pre-sell five figure projects before the call
Build this once and you'll stop babysitting every inquiry, stop guessing why people disappear, and start noticing leads who already feel like they know you.
P.S. This funnel is just one piece of what we teach. If you want the full playbook behind running a calmer, more predictable six figure creative business, applications for the next Creativ Rise Mastermind cohort open August 26, and we only take 10 new members a month.

In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, Christy and I are getting real about something we don't usually talk about publicly: what it actually looks like to run a creative business through a genuinely hard season of life.
If you're a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager and you've ever felt like you're falling apart personally while still being expected to show up for clients, this episode is for you. 😮💨
We're walking through the hardest stretch we've faced in over a decade of business ownership, including a pregnancy loss earlier this year and a due date that just passed with no baby to bring home.
We're not sharing this for sympathy. We're sharing it because so many of you are quietly white-knuckling your own hard season right now, whether that's grief, a health scare, a big life transition, or just life piling up faster than you can keep up with.
Nobody starts a business expecting to run it through a storm. Most of us start when life feels spacious. But eventually the margin disappears, and you're left wondering how you're supposed to run a business when you can barely run yourself.
We're walking through the four things that have actually gotten us through hard seasons, both personally and in business, without quitting or burning out completely.
Here's what we cover:
• Why "be kind to yourself" is more than a throwaway phrase when you're in the thick of it
• Why you shouldn't make permanent business decisions in a temporary emotional season
• How to use limited time and capacity to focus on the one thing that actually moves the needle, whether that's revenue, overwhelm, or delivery
• Why seeking support, personally and in your business, isn't optional in a hard season
• The real difference between your challenge level and your support level, and why the gap between them is where burnout lives
Wherever you're at right now, high season, low season, or somewhere messy in the middle, we hope this episode reminds you that you can slow down without giving up, and that you don't have to carry it alone.
P.S. If you want our help building a creative business that can actually hold up during hard seasons, open enrollment for the Creativ Rise Mastermind opens August 26.

In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how Christy and I collect payments on time and in full, without chasing clients or hoping they eventually pay. If you're a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager running your own business, this is the payment system, contract clause, and late payment policy we actually use. 👀
Go to our IG and send us a message that says “Contract Clause” and I’ll send you a free copy of our autocharge + late payment penalty clause!
Getting stiffed on an invoice is one of the most stressful parts of owning a creative business, and almost nobody talks about it. There will be a client who pays late. There will be a client who ghosts you completely. I learned this the hard way at 19, when I took a $2,800 Uber campaign in New Zealand, paid my own crew out of pocket to make it happen, and never got paid a dollar of it.
Most creatives collect payments through Venmo, Zelle, or bank transfers to avoid the 3% processing fee. It feels smart until a client goes quiet and you have zero leverage to actually collect what you're owed.
I'm walking through the exact system we built to fix this, including the contract clause that authorizes us to auto-charge a client's card the moment a payment is due, no invoice chasing required.
Here's what's covered:
- Why a 3% processing fee is cheaper than chasing an unpaid invoice
- The deposit strategy that locks in a client's card before day one
- The exact auto-charge clause we use in every contract
- Our late payment policy, including how the penalty compounds
- How to stop relying on Venmo, Zelle, or a client's goodwill to get paid
Set this system up once, and you'll stop chasing payments, stop stressing over cash flow, and get paid like an actual professional business. 🚀
P.S. This payment system is one piece of the puzzle. If you want every system we use to run a stress-free six-figure creative business, applications for the next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind open at the end of August.

In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, Joey and Christy break down how to go from $500 day rates to $10K-$15K months as a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, UGC creator, or social media manager. After booking $14,000 across two projects in just 14 days, they're sharing the 4 specific shifts that took their pricing, and their clients' trust, to a completely different level.
Most creative entrepreneurs think bigger budgets come down to having a better portfolio. They don't. Good work is the baseline now. Clients pay premium prices for trust, certainty, and results, not pretty photos or video. If you're still positioning yourself as the hired hand with a camera instead of the strategist running the project, you're leaving thousands of dollars on the table every time you book a job.
Here's what they cover:
- How to stop showing up as "the shooter" and start running the day like a producer your client can fully trust
- How to shoot for the client's actual business outcome instead of your own portfolio
- Why selling certainty beats selling your time, and how to price around deliverables instead of hours
- How to position your work as a return on investment instead of a "nice to have"
Whether you're a wedding photographer, brand photographer, videographer, content creator, or social media manager, these are the same pricing and positioning shifts that helped Creativ Rise Mastermind members like Nick, Adam & Clara, and Luel land $15K-$25K months this year.
Make these 4 shifts and you stop competing for $500 gigs with every other photographer and filmmaker in your market, and start getting hired, and paid, like the strategist you already are.
P.S. If you want our help installing these exact shifts in your creative business, open enrollment for the Creativ Rise Mastermind opens August 26. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com now and we'll send you our free Sales Call Formula course just for signing up.

What if the problem wasn't your work... but the way you're pitching it?
After learning a new outreach strategy, Adam and Clara sent 71 pitches, received 57 responses, and generated over $38,000 in revenue in the last few months while living and working from the road in Australia.
Adam and Clara are travel photographers and creators from Australia who went from living in a self-converted bus to building a full-time creative business on the road, working with dream tourism boards & brands who benefit from content in the outdoors.
In this episode, we talk about how they transitioned into their new home on wheels, started documenting the build process, and completely changed their business through one major shift: learning how to pitch properly.
Their wager was to send 50 pitches and get 50 responses. They finished the Mastermind with 47 replies and have now received 57 replies from 71 pitches, leading to a huge flow of new opportunities with tourism boards, outdoor brands, and travel partners.
We cover:
- How Adam and Clara built a travel content business on the road
• The pitching framework that changed their outreach
• Why most creatives make their pitches too much about themselves
• How to position yourself as a problem solver for brands
• How they work with tourism boards and outdoor companies
• Why follow-up matters more than most creatives realize
• How they generated $38K+ after joining the Mastermind
• What it really looks like to build a creative business while living on the road
If you want to learn how to pitch better, get paid by brands, and build a creative business that creates more freedom, this episode is for you.

P.S. If you're ready to make the same kind of shift Adam & Clara did, the Creativ Rise Mastermind is where that foundation gets built. Get on the waitlist for our August enrolment at www.creativrise.com.

Get Your Spot In The Live Workshop - Book Your Next Client in 7 Days With a 7 Day Giveaway Funnel™ - Limited to 10 Spots
In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down the exact giveaway funnel strategy that generated $50,000 in inquiries in 7 days, and how photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers can use it to book more clients without a massive following.
Most creatives have tried a giveaway at some point. And most didn't book a single client from it. Not because giveaways don't work - because the giveaway wasn't built for the right person.
When you give away something generic, you attract everyone. And everyone doesn't book. When you give away something so specific that only your ideal client would care, you get a list of pre-qualified leads who already want what you offer.
That's the difference. And Christy learned it firsthand when she ran a targeted giveaway for Yosemite couple sessions and had $50K in inquiries hit her inbox inside of a week.
Here's what's covered:
- How to choose a prize that attracts your ideal client instead of freebie-hunters
- How to use ManyChat to turn every comment into a direct conversation with a real lead
- The follow-up strategy to use after the giveaway ends to close actual bookings
- The most common mistakes that turn a giveaway into noise instead of a lead generator
- How to structure the full funnel from post to booked client
If you've run a giveaway and heard crickets, this episode is exactly what you needed to hear first. 🔥
P.S. The Creativ Rise Mastermind reopens in 72 days. If you're a creative who is tired of undercharging for work you know is worth more, this is for you. The Creativ Rise Mastermind is coming up and spots won't last. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, Joey sits down with 20-year-old filmmaker Will Latham of LumaWorks Video. Will graduated high school two years ago, skipped college, and has been building his video business full time ever since. In the six weeks of the Creativ Rise Mastermind alone, Will closed $73,000 in contracts, including his first five-figure deal and a 12-month retainer, going from charging $500 for product videos to landing $25,000 months before his 21st birthday.
This episode is a masterclass in what actually separates creatives who stay stuck at low rates from those who break through to high-ticket work, and it has nothing to do with your camera, your age, or your city.
Here's what's covered:
- Why video is worth more than $500 and how to position it that way by shifting from selling a deliverable to solving a business problem
- Value stacking and what it actually means — the pre-production meetings, brand deep dives, and multi-asset offers Will uses to charge 10x what he used to
- How to identify higher-leverage clients who have real problems, real budgets, and real reasons to say yes
- Cold outreach, follow-up, and the mindset around rejection — why Will treats every no as motivation and keeps swinging for the fences
- How age becomes an asset, not a liability and how young creatives can use their perspective to educate and win clients
- When to hire an editor and how to get over the financial and control hurdles that keep most creatives stuck doing everything themselves
- Why the Creativ Rise Mastermind gave Will a 24X ROI and what the single biggest mindset shift was that changed everything
Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, UGC creator, or social media manager who's tired of undercharging and overworking, this conversation will challenge how you think about your pricing, your clients, and what your creative business could actually become.
P.S. If you're ready to make the same kind of shift Will did, the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is where that foundation gets built. Get on the waitlist for Round 16 at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode, Christy is breaking down why creatives lose deals to cheaper, closer, or more experienced competitors - and the exact middle funnel strategy that flips that around, even when you're the most expensive option in the room.
Most photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers focus almost entirely on portfolio content and conversion content. What gets skipped is the middle: the content that makes someone actually like you. And without that, even a warm inquiry turns cold the second they see your price.
Christy uses a story from her stay at the Montage in Laguna Beach to unpack why luxury brands are actually the most personal brands - and how that applies directly to your marketing. The Marriott is polished and professional. The Montage knows your name. That difference is what gets clients to choose you over someone cheaper, more convenient, or more local.
She also walks through the Identity Pillar Framework she teaches inside the Creativ Rise Mastermind: three specific content pillars that build the know, like, and trust factor your funnel is missing.
Here's what's covered:
- Why the "like" factor is the most skipped piece of the marketing funnel
- What luxury brands do differently (and how to apply it to your creative business)
- The Identity Pillar Framework and how to pick your three pillars
- What identity matching is and why it closes deals at higher price points
- Where to start sharing your pillars without overhauling your whole content strategy
Start building the middle of your funnel and the right clients will start choosing you - even when you're not the cheapest, closest, or most experienced option.

In this episode, Joey sits down with Ross Bernards, an adventure and outdoor lifestyle photographer from Fruita, Colorado, who tripled his business in 18 months and had two $20K months in the same year after years of feast-or-famine cycles and scattered strategy.
Ross had tried everything. Ads, outreach, tips from other photographer friends. Nothing was connecting because none of it was a system. He was firing tactics at the wall and hoping something stuck. The income rollercoaster reflected exactly how disjointed the approach was.
What changed wasn't working harder. It was overhauling how he pitched, building a real follow-up system, and learning how to communicate value in a way that actually got responses. His email reply rate went from roughly 3 out of 100 to 3 out of 10. For photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers who are putting in the work but not seeing the return, this episode shows what the turning point actually looks like.
Here's what's covered:
- Why his pitches were getting ignored
- Building a follow-up system that actually gets responses
- The mindset shift that made investing feel like a no-brainer
- Making his ROI back in 4 weeks
The work is there. Sometimes it just needs the right system behind it to turn into real, consistent revenue.
P.S. If Ross's story sounds familiar, the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind Round 16 is where that kind of transformation happens. It's where we help creatives build the systems, offers, and pitching strategies that turn inconsistent income into a real business. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, we’re breaking down how to handle pricing objections as a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager. If you've ever heard "this is too expensive," "we don't have the budget," or "we found someone cheaper," this episode gives you a step-by-step playbook for responding without dropping your price.
Most creatives treat "it's too expensive" as a dead end. It's not. Every pricing objection is hiding one of two problems: a cash flow issue or a perceived value gap. Knowing which one you're dealing with is the difference between closing the deal and losing it.
We break down a live $5,000 brand photography offer example to show you exactly how to diagnose the real objection in real time, and how to respond depending on what you find.
Here's what's covered:
- How to handle the "it's too expensive" objection without lowering your rate
- The difference between a price objection and a value objection
- How to close deals using payment plans and phase-based billing
- How to educate clients on value so they stop comparing you to cheaper options
- Sales scripts and frameworks for creative entrepreneurs
Whether you're a wedding photographer, brand photographer, UGC creator, or social media manager, these sales strategies will help you close more deals, hold your pricing, and stop losing business to clients who say they can't afford you.
P.S. Handling objections gets easier when you already have confidence in your number. The free Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator helps photographers, filmmakers, and creative business owners figure out exactly what to charge for weddings, brand work, social media retainers, and packages. And if you're ready to build a full six-figure creative business foundation, get on the Round 16 waitlist at www.creativrise.com. Applications open Fall 2026.

In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down one of the most asked questions in the creative business space: should you put your pricing on your website? 👀
It sounds like a simple yes or no. But the real answer depends on exactly where your business is right now, and getting it wrong is costing creatives either bookings or time.
For photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and other creative entrepreneurs, this question comes up at every stage of business. Too many creatives either hide their pricing and lose trust, or post it too early and kill their inquiry volume before they have a chance to sell. Joey and Christy have been on both sides of this debate in their own businesses, and in this episode, they're giving you a clear framework to decide which move is right for you.
Here's what's covered:• When hiding your pricing is actually the smarter sales strategy• The inquiry volume benchmark that tells you whether to show your pricing or not• Why making pricing hard to find destroys trust faster than a high price tag ever will• The "starting at" approach that works for almost every creative business• How to filter out low-quality leads without losing serious clients
If you've been going back and forth on this, this episode will help you make the call with confidence and build a website that works for your business instead of against it.
P.S. Knowing what to put on your website is one piece - knowing how to price, package, and sell your offers is what turns inquiries into booked clients. Round 16 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is coming up soon. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down what just happened inside Round 15 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, where 37 creatives booked $611,407 in just 6 weeks, and more importantly, what you can learn from it as a photographer, filmmaker, social media manager, or content creator trying to grow your business.
This isn’t a one-off result or a lucky round. This is a pattern. Across 155 deals, 17+ retainers, and creatives from all over the world, we’re seeing the same moves create the same outcomes again and again. If you’ve been wondering how people are landing $5K, $10K, or even $20K+ projects, this episode breaks it down in a way that actually makes it make sense!! We are so proud of everyone in Round 15.
Here’s what’s covered:
- The real reason some creatives stay stuck at $500–$2K jobs while others jump to $5K–$10K+ projects
- Why solving “high-stakes” business problems is the key to unlocking higher-paying clients
- How better offers (not better gear) dramatically increase your income ceiling
- The sales call shift that helped close 155 deals in just 6 weeks
- Why proximity to the right people can completely change what you believe is possible
- The role of imperfect action and why speed beats perfection every time
P.S. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I want to be in a room like that,” Round 16 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is happening this September. Round 15 sold out and Round 16 will too. Get on the waitlist now at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down their full behind-the-scenes recap of shooting Coachella 2026, including the date mix-up that almost cost them the job, the 5 a.m. wrap time at the Neon Carnival, and the exact lessons every commercial photographer, filmmaker, and content creator needs to hear about pitching and shooting major brand events. 🫣
Most photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and UGC creators stay on the sidelines of brand event work because they think it's "too intimidating" or they feel like they need a massive portfolio to pitch Coachella, Stagecoach, or any major festival. The reality is, brands are actively looking for creatives who show up with ideas, flexibility, and fast turnaround times, and events are one of the most underrated ways to get your foot in the door with dream brand clients.
Coachella is no longer just a music festival. It's a full-scale media festival where brands are spending seven figures on activations, influencer houses, and experiential marketing, and they desperately need creatives who can actually capture it all. If you're a creative entrepreneur trying to break into the commercial and brand space, this is the opportunity hiding in plain sight. 🔥
Joey and Christy walk through the flop that almost derailed the whole weekend, what they learned about working with massive brands on-location, and the exact framework for pitching yourself into high-paying brand event work in any city.
Here's what's covered:
- How Coachella actually works as a giant media festival (and why this changes how you should pitch)
- The exact pitch framework for landing brand event work at Coachella, Stagecoach, and local festivals
- Why fast turnaround times are one of the highest-leverage value-adds for commercial photographers and filmmakers
- The "human tripod" trap killing creative careers in the 2026 brand economy
- How to pitch ideas to brands without fearing they'll steal them and hire someone else
If you want more brand deals, more retainers, and more high-paying commercial gigs on your calendar, stop waiting for the perfect opportunity and start pitching the brand activations happening in your city right now.
P.S. Pitching brand events is one piece of the puzzle. If you want the full system on offers, marketing, pitching, and client experience that's landing our grads 5-figure deals (like Ian's $48K retainer locked in just this past week), the next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is happening this September. Round 15 sold out and Round 16 will too. Get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com.

In this episode, Joey is breaking down the exact five software tools he and Christy use every year to run their photography and filmmaking business - and the total cost is just $750 a year.
Most photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers are either overspending on tools they barely use, or piecing together a free-tool workflow that's quietly costing them in missed clients and dropped details.
The reality is, the software running your business directly impacts how professional you look, how many leads you close, and how smooth your client experience feels. And most creatives aren't running the right stack.
In this episode, Joey walks you through the five must-have tools for running a creative business in 2026 - covering lead generation, client communication, meeting management, project management, and campaign pre-production. ⚡️
Here's what's covered:
- ManyChat - how to build automated Instagram funnels that turn comments into leads (Christy's giveaway brought in $50K in inquiries in 48 hours)
- Loom - the $12.50/month screen recording tool that upgrades your pitches and cuts down endless email chains
- Fathom AI - the AI meeting note taker that records every call, captures every detail, and lets you stay fully present with clients
- Notion - how to build a pitching tracker that auto-schedules follow-up dates so no lead falls through the cracks
- Milanote - the visual workspace where mood boards, shot lists, and client approvals all live in one place
Five tools. $62.50 a month. A photography and creative business that books more, runs cleaner, and delivers a better experience every time. 🔥
P.S. The right tools help you run your business - but the right foundation helps you grow it. The next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is coming, and it's where photographers, filmmakers, and creatives build the offers, marketing, and systems that power six-figure businesses.

In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down the mindset blocks that are quietly keeping creative business owners stuck, undercharging, and playing small before they even give themselves a real shot.
Most creatives don't realize how much of their stagnation is self-inflicted. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not a lack of talent. It's the stories they tell themselves before a client ever gets the chance to respond.
Photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers work incredibly hard to build their craft, but then they get in their own way when it's time to actually grow. They call themselves new when they're not. They say no on behalf of clients before pitching. They hide behind perfectionism and call it standards.
In this episode, Joey and Christy walk through the most common ways creative business owners self-sabotage and how to stop it.
Here's what's covered:
- Stop calling yourself new - feeling new is part of growth, but it's not a reason to undercharge
- Stop pitching less than 50 times a month - low volume is the real reason you're not getting work
- Stop saying no before your client can say yes - say the price, then shut up
- Stop letting perfectionism masquerade as productivity - done is better than perfect, always
- Why the creatives winning right now are taking fast, messy action - and what that actually looks like
The creatives building six-figure careers aren't the most talented ones in the room. They're the ones who ship it, learn from it, and move on. 👀

P.S. Pricing confidence starts with having the right foundation under your business. The next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, Round 16, is coming and it's where photographers, filmmakers, and creatives learn to build offers, close deals, and grow businesses that actually last.

In this episode, Joey and Christy are breaking down the most common pricing questions they get from creatives in the wedding and brand space - and their answers might flip how you think about pricing entirely.
Here’s the key: pricing is branding. What you charge signals who you are, what you're worth, and whether clients can trust you before they ever respond to your quote. Most creatives obsess over their website, their socials and their portfolio - and completely overlook that their price tag is doing just as much talking.
Ep 279 tackles the questions that trip up photographers, filmmakers, content creators and SMM’s.
Here's what's covered:
- Why cheap pricing can actually scare clients away (and what to do about it)
- How price anchoring works and why your lowest package might be costing you money
- Whether to list your pricing on your website or keep it hidden
- How to handle "can you lower your price?" on a sales call without caving
- Who should say the price first - and why the old rule is wrong
Once you understand that your price is part of your brand story, every pricing decision gets cleaner and more confident.
Want to price your next job with a proven framework in under 5 minutes? Use the free 2026 Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator at creativrise.com/pricingcalculator. Built for photographers, filmmakers, UGC creators, and social media managers.
P.S. Round 15 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is live right now, and three weeks in, members are closing deals that would have made them nervous to quote six weeks ago. $8,500 brand deals, $5,000 pinned post packages, nearly $100K in contracted payments. Joey said it himself - nothing shifts your pricing faster than being around people who are actually doing it.

BIG UPDATE: The brand new 2026 Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator is here! As always: completely for free! If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator or SMM & struggle with how to price your work - start using this tool here.
What is your pricing strategy?If it’s merely based off the photographer down the street, a low day-rate, or just going with your gut and hoping for the best - this episode (and new tool) is for you.
In this episode, Joey walks through the exact pricing framework creative entrepreneurs use to charge confidently for brand photography, wedding packages, UGC content, and social media management retainers using the Creativ Rise Pricing Calculator - which you have access to, completely for free.
Most photographers and filmmakers are undercharging - not because they lack confidence, but because they never had a real starting point. So every quote becomes a guess. You borrow a number from a competitor, hope it sounds reasonable, and spend the rest of the project wondering if you left money on the table.
This episode fixes that. Joey breaks down the math behind pricing creative services and walk through their completely rebuilt free Pricing Calculator for 2026 - a step-by-step tool built for wedding photographers, brand creatives, UGC creators, and social media managers. 👀
Here's what's covered:
- Why creative pricing anxiety is a math problem, not a mindset problem
- How to calculate your floor price before quoting any project
- The value multipliers most photographers and filmmakers skip
- How to price wedding packages, brand shoots, and SMM retainers with one framework
- How to use the free Pricing Calculator to find your number in minutes
Once your number comes from real math, quoting with confidence isn't hard anymore. Download the Creativ Rise app and open the free Pricing Calculator to put this into practice right now.

P.S. Round 15 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is live right now - two weeks in, members are already closing $7,500 brand deals, $7,400 elopement packages, and multiple four-figure projects in the same week.

You've probably heard the advice a hundred times: "just find clients with more money." Cool. Super helpful. But if that were all it took, you wouldn't still be sending $500 invoices.
Here's the truth nobody talks about: the size of your paycheck has almost nothing to do with the size of the company you're working with. It has everything to do with the size of the problem you're solving.
In this episode, Joey and Christy break down exactly how to make the shift from cheap clients to higher ticket clients - and the one mindset shift that unlocks scaling your creative business.
Here's what they cover:
- Why bigger paychecks come from bigger pain points - not bigger companies
- The difference between low-stakes and high-stakes content - and how to tell which one you're being hired for
- How to identify revenue-driven industries that actually have budget to spend
- Why pitching outcomes instead of deliverables is the key to closing higher-ticket deals
- How to position yourself as a problem solver - not just a content creator
Once you start chasing painful problems instead of pretty projects, everything changes - your invoices, your clients, and your confidence walking into every pitch.
P.S. This is exactly the kind of strategy we build inside the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind - helping creative entrepreneurs go from low-ticket work to running full 6-figure businesses with high-value clients.
Round 15 just kicked off with an incredible group of creatives already in motion. If you’re watching this thinking “that should’ve been me,” get yourself on the Round 16 waitlist now and be first in line when applications open. Round 16 Applications launch in August 2026!

Most creatives think the answer is just working harder. More hours, more shoots, more hustle. But if your business looks the same as it did a year ago, the problem isn't your effort — it's what you're doing with it.
In this episode, we're breaking down the real reason creative businesses stay stuck, and it has nothing to do with talent. We cover three shifts that actually move the needle — why you can't get consistent results from inconsistent marketing, why the old playbook stops working as the industry evolves, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make as a creative business owner.
If your Feb 2026 looks a lot like your Feb 2025, this one's for you.

Want to build a 6-figure business foundation with us in just 6 weeks?
Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are open… and they close this Wednesday.
Round 15 starts March 15th.
If your creative business still feels like you're guessing your way through pricing, offers, marketing, and sales, this is exactly what the Mastermind was built to solve.
Inside the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, we work with photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and creators to install the real systems behind a six-figure creative business. The frameworks that lead to consistent $10K+ months. From structuring offers and pricing properly, to building marketing that brings the right clients in, to learning how to confidently close higher value deals.
This program has now helped 416 creative businesses, and collectively they've generated over $136M in revenue after implementing these strategies.
But what makes each round powerful isn't just the frameworks. It's the people.
Round 15 is already filling with an incredible group of creatives. Brand content teams stepping in to build stronger systems. Wedding photographers repositioning into higher-end markets. Creatives already doing $80K–$100K who want better leverage and scalability. And others who know their talent is there, but their business structure hasn't caught up yet.
We intentionally cap each round at 35 businesses so the experience stays personal, strategic, and focused on real implementation.
Once those spots are filled, applications close.
If you're ready to stop operating your business on guesswork and finally build something scalable, make sure you apply before the deadline this Wednesday.

Would you believe us if we told you you can make $13,500 in one month creating content - entirely shot on an iPhone. 👀
If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager who’s been curious about UGC but unsure how people are actually getting paid (and paid well) for it, this episode will open your brain in the best way.
In this episode, we sit down with Jessie Bull, a Whistler, Canada-based UGC creator who went from undercharging ($400/month retainers) to building clear offers, pitching smarter, and landing $1,200+ UGC video projects with notable brands.
We cover:
- What UGC actually is (and why it’s not the same thing as being an influencer)
- How Jessie built a $14k month through packages, retainers, and better pitching
- Why iPhone content is outperforming “high production” ads in 2026
- How to get out of the free product zone and start landing paid work
- How to raise your rates with long-term clients without it getting weird

What if the only thing standing between you and a 6 figure year was 400 cold calls?
In this episode, we sit down with George and Jack of Agrippa Creatives, a brand strategy and filmmaking duo who launched their agency in mid-2025 and built predictable retainer revenue in just six months.
Before the Mastermind, there was no real structure - just stacking $500 projects to stay busy but never stable.
After? They built $3,500 monthly retainers, a $9,000 premium offer, and backend systems that finally made revenue predictable.
And yes… it started with 400 cold calls.
In this episode, we dive into:
• The “minimum level of engagement” that transformed their pricing
• Why stacking small projects quietly stalls growth
• How to move from one-off gigs into recurring retainers
• The structure that makes scaling sustainable
• The shift from “what can we charge?” to “what makes this partnership effective?”
Six months ago, $50K this year felt like a stretch.
Now they’re projecting $200K+ in year one.

From getting laid off right before Christmas to making $200K in her first full-time year as a wedding photographer, this episode with Kenna Hiskey proves how fast things can change when you fully commit.
Kenna breaks down what actually shifted between “side hustle” and a multiple six-figure, sustainable wedding business — from pricing and positioning to systems that allowed her to grow without burning out.
In this episode, we chat about:
- How Kenna hit $200K in her first full-time year as a wedding photographer
- The pricing shifts that took her from $2K weddings to $6K and $10K+ bookings
- How she attracted a higher-end client and stopped booking misaligned couples
- Her simple Instagram strategy for consistent inquiries (including when she boosts posts)
- How to define your “ideal bride” so your marketing pulls the right people in
- Why reposting wedding content is a cheat code most photographers ignore
- Hiring her first assistant, what she delegated first, and how she justified the cost
- The behind-the-scenes systems she’s building to stabilize and refine her business
- Her experience inside the Mastermind and how it accelerated her growth
If you’re in the early stage where you know you have the talent but you’re still figuring out pricing, consistent inquiries, and how to book higher-end weddings, this episode gives a clear picture of what scaling fast without losing yourself actually looks like.

What if getting paid to travel and shoot projects wasn’t luck, but a repeatable framework? Good news, it is! Over the last decade we’ve shot paid projects in the US, Canada, Mexico, NZ, AUS, Iceland, Greece, Italy, France, Nicaragua, St. Lucia, South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand and more - using a repeatable pitching framework.
In this episode, we break down exactly how we pitch brand trips that turn into paid shoots, using the Hawaii campaign we’re on right now as a real-world example.
This wasn’t a vacation. This was a paid shoot. You don’t need a massive following. You don’t need brands to reach out first. And you don’t need to wait until you’re “big enough.”
What you do need is a pitch that solves a real marketing problem and makes it easy for brands to say yes.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Why most brand trip pitches fail and how to avoid it
- How to make your pitch time-sensitive instead of vague
- What makes a pitch low-lift for brands so it actually gets read
- How to position trips as a marketing win, not a free vacation
- The local test brands use to decide if they’ll fly you out or hire a local
- What to include in a brand trip pitch deck using the 7 sections we rely on
- The DM funnel we use to start conversations, with a real example
- Why follow-ups matter more than talent
If you’ve ever pitched a trip and heard nothing back, or wondered how creators actually get paid to shoot in places like Hawaii, Iceland, or Europe, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework you can start using immediately.

Most creatives do not fail because they lack talent. They fail because their business is built on shaky ground.
In 2026, over half of creatives will never break $50k a year. Not because they did not try hard enough, but because they never learned how to build real offers, attract the right clients, or sell with confidence.
That is exactly why we created the Creativ Rise Mastermind.
Over the last 6 years, 416 Creativ Rise graduates have generated more than $112 million doing work they actually enjoy because of their 6 figure business foundation.

In this episode, we break down the exact pricing framework we use to price our work sustainably and have confidence when it comes to raising your rates. This isn’t about copying competitors or guessing what clients will tolerate. It’s about math, value, and building offers that actually support the life you want in 2026.
Inside the episode, we cover:
- How to calculate a real pricing floor (and why guessing keeps you stuck)
- What CTO actually is — and what should never be included in it
- Why your pricing floor is not your price
- How to raise your rates when more is at stake (without feeling scammy)
- A real-world brand job example that walks through the numbers end to end
If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, or creative service provider heading into a new year and thinking about raising your prices, this episode will give you a clear, practical starting point.

If you’re wanting to double your business in 2026, it’s going to take looking back at 2025 with a strategic eye.
One of our new favorite quotes is: life is lived forward, but it’s only understood backwards.
Most creatives end the year asking how they feel about their business.
Successful creative business owners end the year asking what actually happened.
In this episode, we walk through the five questions we personally ask every year to get clarity, stop repeating the same mistakes, and set our business up for real growth.
These aren’t fluffy mindset prompts. They’re practical, sometimes uncomfortable questions that reveal what’s actually driving (or holding back) your business, whether you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager.
We cover:
- Whether your business truly made money - or just kept you busy
- Where your revenue actually came from (and what that means for next year)
- Where your business was proactive vs reactive
- If growth would make your life easier… or completely overwhelm you
- The one change that would make 2026 simpler and more profitable
For each question, we break down:
- Why it matters
- What most creatives get wrong
- How to think about it clearly
- One actionable step you can take immediately
The goal of these questions is simple:
to slow down long enough to understand what really happened - so you don’t accidentally repeat the same year again.

This round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind broke every record we’ve ever had.
Over 6 weeks, 36 creatives made $510,364.25 — an average of $14,176 per person.
That’s almost double what the average freelancer makes… in half the time.
Here’s what’s crazy:
We didn’t focus on teaching people how to be more creative.
We focused on helping them run their creative business like a business.
In this episode, we break down exactly how they did it — including the stat that blew us away:
60% of all revenue came from repeatable offers.
People stopped reinventing the wheel every week and built systems that sold again and again.
We walk through what the group focused on that helped them break the record — things like:
→ consistent pricing
→ packaged offers
→ clear, repeatable clients
→ branding that attracts
→ pitching that stands out
→ marketing that runs on systems
→ sales strategies that actually work — without feeling fake or pushy.
This wasn’t about luck.
It’s proof that when you get clarity, community, and a simple plan that actually works — your business can explode too.

Feeling stuck in the gap between where you are and where you know you could be?
This week, Joey and Christy unpack the danger of discouragement - why it slows your inputs, kills momentum, and what to do today to flip it. You’ll hear real stories (Christy almost quit for a year, the Airbnb pitch that finally hit on follow-up #5, and a creator who pitched North Face 50+ times) plus fresh wins from Round 14 of the Creativ Rise Mastermind to prove progress is possible.
You'll learn
- Count the No’s: Reframe rejection and make “no” the scoreboard that gets you to yes.
- Audit Your Inputs: Cut shallow, scattered effort and double down on what actually moves revenue.
- Quit Something Weekly: Trim the habits, beliefs, or busywork that keep you stuck.
- Bonus: Why growth isn’t linear (hockey-stick) and how community speeds the curve.
If discouragement is the “starter drug” to everything falling apart, this episode is your three-step prescription to get back to encouraged, consistent, and closing.

This might be a hot take, but if your usage terms are longer than a single sentence, they’re overcomplicating your process and making you less competitive.
We’ve seen too many creatives get caught up in the messy details of licensing terms - *terms that didn’t need to exist in the first place.* We’ve simplified our process completely, and it doesn’t only save us headaches - it saves us clients.
When potential clients are choosing a creative partner, who do you think they’re signing with: the creative who’s charging additional add-on fees to “protect” their work, or the partner who makes the client process simple, seamless and positive?
In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down exactly how we approach the ambiguous concept of licensing - why we stopped stressing about usage, how we price it when it does apply, and the proven benefits of shifting from “protection mode” to “partnership mode.”
We cover:
- What usage restrictions are and how they’ve become outdated in today’s creative climate
- The simple multipliers we do use when licensing applies
- The single line to add to your next contract that changes everything
- How eliminating licensing stress removes friction, speeds up contracts, and gets you rehired faster
- What to do if a client “uses your content out of turn” (with 2 real-life examples from Mastermind grads that have had their content plastered across NYC’s Times Square without their knowledge 👀 🤯), and how to turn these instances into opportunity
⚡️Tune in to learn how to strategically update your own process, and take advantage of our free pricing calculator to charge what you’re worth up front and avoid the unattractive multipliers.

If you’re constantly getting revision requests from clients and it’s driving you nuts.. it might be time to ask yourself why.
In creative work, revisions are normal but often they get out of control and eat away all the profit from the job because of the exuberant amount of time spent to make the client happy.
Without an intentional pre-production and content review strategy, revisions are the norm. But what if there was a way to reduce revision requests, have happier clients and het more jobs from those happy clients..
In this week’s episode, we’re sharing our own strategy - how we practically reduce revisions, deliver with confidence, and turn client touchpoints into promising growth opportunities. 👀
We’ll cover:
- Pre-production steps that align expectations before the shoot
- The client-focused questions that set you up for smoother delivery
- How to run a content review call that saves hours of back-and-forth revisions
- How live edits can not only impress clients, but speed up approvals and lead to your next paid project
If you’re pricing for value, this is how you protect it - with fewer revisions, faster timelines, happier clients, and more opportunity to scale your business!

Most creatives assume that getting ghosted means the client wasn’t really interested - which feels especially confusing when they sounded so enthusiastic on your call...
So what happened between your delivery and their decision to leave you hanging?
It’s easy to convince yourself that they were just being polite on your call - that they didn’t really like your work or your pricing or your personality, and now they’re dreading handing you your rejection.
But what’s far more likely to be going on?
They hit one of the 6 roadblocks that cause clients to ghost - roadblocks that have nothing to do with your talent and everything to do with how you guide the deal.
In this episode, we break down the 6 most common reasons clients vanish after an inquiry - and how to flip the script into 6 strategies that close the deal instead.
We’ll cover how to:
- Get all decision-makers on the call
- Create urgency without being pushy
- Remove friction from the booking process
- Handle unspoken objections with confidence
- Set clear timelines instead of waiting in limbo
- Know when it’s time to drop it and move on
Ghosting isn’t random, it’s predictable - which is great news for you. When you know how to navigate the pitch and target all the pain points, you prevent yourself from getting left in the dark.
Tune in now for the 6 strategies that turn ghosts into booked clients. ⚡️👻
P.S. Another fool-proof way to avoid getting ghosted is to build an offer that clients can’t say no to - one that’s valuable, strategic, and marketed right. The next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is happening this spring - in it, we show you exactly how to build the offers that are allowing our Mastermind grads to close 5-figure deals in their 6-figure businesses.

6 months ago, Amber Moon was ready to quit her photography business.
As a busy mom of two offering $400 family sessions, her “good months” felt more like “good luck.”
Her income was unpredictable, the business side confusing, and she feared nothing would change. If she had walked away, her story would’ve ended in burnout, not success.
Fast forward to today, and Amber:
✅ Hit her first $10k month
✅ Doubled her revenue from last year (in just six months)
✅ Is confidently booking high-value family sessions ($900+) and brand campaigns ($5k+).
Imagine if she had quit. Instead, she joined Round 13 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, shifted her mindset, and learned the business side of running a creative brand.
In this episode, Amber shares how she went from almost quitting to celebrating her first $10k month, unpacking the exact shifts that changed everything:
• Raising prices with confidence
• Creating high-value experiences (not just galleries)
• Moving from “good luck” income to predictable, scalable growth
• Stepping into brand work with solutions, not just deliverables
If you’ve ever felt stuck, underpaid, or worried about your next paycheck, let her story show you what’s possible when you stop relying on luck and start building with intention.
P.S. Ready to create consistent $10k months? Join our free $10k/Month Creator Workshop on Sept 3rd and grab the exact roadmap Amber used.
creativrise.com/workshop
Want the full 6 week experience she went through? Round 14 of the Mastermind kicks off Sept 21st. Applications open Sept 7th (or Sept 3rd for the waitlist).

• Create a marketing system that brings in the right leads
• Sell with confidence
• Scale sustainably to 6 figures and beyond

Ever wondered what the creatives pulling in $10k, $20k - even $30k+ a month are doing differently?
How they justify the premium prices they’re charging - and how their clients have no problem paying them? 🧐
For a lot of photographers, filmmakers, and social media managers, consistent 5-figure months feel completely out of reach…
And if they do happen, they’re one-off, exhausting, and unsustainable.
That’s exactly where this week’s guest - creative director, photographer & filmmaker Tobiah Lui - found himself just a few short years ago.
Tobiah went from barely breaking even to landing $15k+ deals, major brand clients, and his first $35k month. 🤯
Now, his creative business is well on-track to its first 6 figure year, and Tobiah’s partnered with world-renowned brands like Ford, Fairmont, Turo, and Monos…
So how did he do it?
How did he build a business that’s been consistently doubling its revenue for years? How did he gain the trust of the big name brands featured in his portfolio?
In Episode 246, Tobiah shares the 4 key strategies for turning an unpredictable business into one with structure, accountability, and consistent success:
- Treat spec ads like paid work
- Don’t just make ads, build brand worlds
- Understand the strategic advantage of paid ads
- Implement strategic systems for optimization & scaling
Learn from someone who’s been there - let their experience do some of your heavy lifting.
Tune in now to hear the proven strategies that worked for Tobiah (& can work for you too).
Register for the $10k/Mo Creator Workshop - Sep 3, 4:30PM PST - https://www.creativrise.com/workshop
P.S. In just 6 weeks Tobiah built the foundation for his 6 figure business. It wasn’t until he graduated from the Creativ Rise 6 Week Mastermind, that his business reached its full potential. Round 14 kicks off September 21st, with applications launching on Sept 7 (Sept 3 if you’re on the waitlist). We’re looking for 35 ambitious creatives who are ready to see their potential turn into a tangible 6 figures, too. Join the waitlist now for early access, resources, and a head start on applying.

Working harder doesn’t always lead to better results.
In fact, late nights and weekend grinds often just highlight broken systems - not progress.
The difference between creatives who stay stuck and those who hit consistent $10k months? They’re working hard on the right things.
In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, we break down 10 great business offers from 10 ambitious Mastermind grads - and we share the strategies behind how those offers are consistently generating $10k+ months (no ****gatekeeping here 🫡).
You’ll hear success stories like:
- Hayley’s $5/day ad funnel that books her entire wedding season
- Becca & Marcello’s coined branding offer that built a waitlist months in advance
- Matt’s low-commitment pinned post package that converts clients into long-term retainers
…plus many more examples of offers that are actually working.
Also in this week’s episode, we announce the return of our free $10k/Month Creator Workshop!
If you want to learn the strategy and processes that will actually grow your business to consistent $10k months, join us virtually on September 3rd at 4:30PM PST for your roadmap to $10k months.
Did we mention it’s completely free?
After last year’s sold-out event, this is your chance to jump on registration early.
In this workshop, we’ll share our exact strategies and processes for $10k/month growth. Ones you can customize and make your own, just like the grads in this episode have done.
Stories like these prove that results don’t come from just “working harder.” They come from focusing on the right offers and executing strategically.
Our $10k/month Creator Workshop only has 150 spots and if last year was any indicator of what’s to come - these spots will go fast.
Head to www.creativrise.com/workshop to secure your free spot while you can!

How do you go from $700 shoots to selling $2,750 premium packages - and hitting your first $10K month?
For photographer and strategist Victoria Mae (@victoriamaephoto), it wasn’t about adding more shoots to her calendar, it was about transforming the way she works.
Victoria’s secret? Aside from the fact that she is her ideal client (and she has the coolest client base…), she strategically positions herself as more than “just a photographer.”
Victoria is a brand photographer and strategist who blends intentional pre-production, high-quality photo, and simple-but-powerful short-form video into offers her clients can’t resist.
And she does it all while radiating authenticity - it’s truly no surprise that her clients stick around.
In this episode, Victoria breaks down:
- How beautiful photos are only secondary to why she can charge what she does (hint: it’s her strategy)
- How she positioned herself the obvious choice for her ideal client
- Her iPhone + BTS strategy that keeps clients booking
- Why the “right kind of networking” is a long game worth playing
- How to run an in-person event to draw in clients
- And how she’s overcome the hardship and discouraging months along the way
If you want to build a creative business that can actually weather the ups and downs and book clients you love at prices you’re proud of… Victoria’s your gal, and this is your episode.
P.S. Want access to the same education and resources that laid the foundation for Victoria’s $10K/month creative business? Round 14 of the Creativ Rise Mastermind kicks off September 21st and spots go fast.
This 6 week experience is full of coaching, community and accountability. If you want to build a 6 figure business foundation and want to do it alongside us & 35 other creative businesses - this is your chance.

Does working with big brands feel out of reach?
Are you a small team and feel like you need a massive crew to get the big jobs?
We caught up with the two-man team from Dreambird, Alex & Bailey Martin, about how their lean team went from shooting weddings in the summer to landing global brands around the world like Genesis & Hyundai (oh, and in just a couple years).
We cover how to:
- Offer the unsexy jobs to get through the door with big brands
- Turn small jobs into high-paying contracts
- How to niche yourself to a problem, not a person
- Sell yourself as a small, mighty team - not a discount version of a big agency
Want to go through the same 6 week program Alex & Bailey went through?
If you're a photographer, filmmaker, or social media manager who's great at your craft but stuck without the systems to consistently attract, nurture, and sell to higher value ideal clients… we’ve got something for you.
Six years ago, we started a 6-week mastermind designed to help creatives stop guessing and finally build the business side of their business.
Since then, we’ve helped over 380 creatives lay the foundation of a 6-figure business - and collectively, they’ve gone on to generate over $18 million in revenue. 🤯
Round 14 of the Creativ Rise Mastermind kicks off September 21st.
Applications open September 7th, and we only take 35 businesses — it sells out every time.
If you’re ready to make the next year your best year yet.. join the waitlist now for Round 14 HERE.

Got a current client that’s priced way too low?
Let’s talk about how you might be avoiding everyone’s least favorite conversation:
The Price Raise Convo.
Uh oh - feeling the nervousness already?
You know what we’re talking about… does the client come to mind? The one you signed a couple years ago that you now dread because you’d charge way more now than you did back then.
Or when the past client reaches out again for more work, and you’re struggling on what price to send them.
What if we told you that by avoiding one single conversation, you could be sabotaging the success of your creative business?
That one conversation has the power to double (maybe even triple) your income.
And that procrastinating it has already cost you big-time… 📉.
If the idea of raising your prices makes you cringe, we get it - but avoiding it is one of the most expensive habits you can have as a creative.
That’s why in Episode 242, we’re breaking down the exact 5-part conversation we use to confidently raise our prices without burning bridges or backtracking into discount mode.
We’ll cover:
- The only 3 times you should ever raise your rates
- The 5 Steps to the Price Raise Conversation
- What to say if you're afraid of losing a client
- How to retain your best clients with loyalty incentives that don’t undercut your value
Whether you’re doubling your prices or just tweaking them slightly, this is your go-to script for a price raise that lands.
Not quite ready to raise your prices yet? Everyone’s been there. If you're not feeling the demand that justify’s a price increase - don’t stress. We’ve all been there. To learn how to build the solid foundation that will kickstart your growth, join the waitlist for our next 6 Week Creative Rise Mastermind - starting this September! Limited spots available.

Are your socials flooded with creatives getting to travel the world with your favorite brands, making you think, “how on earth is everyone scoring these unreal brand trips?”
You don’t need a massive following to get your favorite brands to work with you. You don’t even need to settle for comp’ed product only (aka: actually get paid).
To get on bucket list trips with bucket list brands, you need deliberate research + intentional strategy.
And in this episode, we show you the exact strategy that we have personally used to score brand trips to Hawaii, Iceland, New Zealand, South Africa and Greece, etc. We’re breaking it down for you, plain and simple.
We’ll cover:
- The 4 steps that are crucial for a successful brand trip pitch
- The 7 sections your visual pitch deck must include
- The 5 must-haves for a DM Funnel strategy that will finally get your trip pitches noticed
And we spell it all out with practical examples and stories from our talented Mastermind community (Michael’s fully-funded dream trip to Mt. Everest Base Camp, anyone? 🤯).
If you’re ready to start working with brands in epic locations, this one’s for you.

Hope isn’t a booking strategy. If you’re posting “Book now!” and getting crickets, it’s probably not because your work isn’t good enough…but you don’t have a dialed Social Funnel yet.
In this episode, we break down the Social Funnel we use in our own businesses that consistently brings in new leads like clockwork:
👉 How to get hyper-specific with your offers so people instantly understand what you’re selling, why it’s valuable, and why they should book now
👉 Why vague “I’m available” posts leave your inbox empty
👉 Real examples you can swipe to turn your generic posts into clear, exciting invitations your ideal clients can’t ignore.
Plus, Christy shares the exact strategy she used to get 7 Yosemite session inquiries in 24 hours from a single post.

What if delivering your work faster actually made you more money?
In today’s episode, Joey & Christy break down The 14-Day Rule—the strategy we use to deliver full galleries and brand projects and videos in two weeks or less… and why that speed has booked us more clients, increased referrals, and even led to surprise tips.
Most creatives believe that quick delivery looks “lazy” or “less valuable”—but in today’s economy, clients pay for speed. Whether you're a photographer or filmmaker in both the wedding and brand space - the 14 Day Rule is for you.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why slow delivery is hurting your business more than you think
- The 3 biggest benefits of delivering within 14 days (backed by real results)
- How speed can be your biggest sales call differentiator
- Why the post-wedding “sharing window” is your best marketing tool
- A bonus tip to get more tips!

Should you quit your job and go full-time in your creative business? Going full time is one of the biggest—and scariest decisions you’ll ever face. But here’s the truth:
It’s not an emotional decision. It’s a logical one.
In this episode, Joey & Christy break down the exact framework they’ve used (and taught hundreds of creatives) to confidently know when to leap—and how to avoid the 3 biggest mistakes that ruin most people’s transitions.
You’ll learn:
- Why your 9-5 might be capping your potential (and your income)
- The safety net every creative needs before going full-time
- How to know if you’ve got a real business—or just a hobby with hope
If you’re stuck between security and freedom, this episode is your roadmap to making the move!

Hold the phone (seriously, hold that thing tight) because this episode with Rebekah Soto from Soul Like The Sun was NEXT LEVEL.
If you want to book $10-15k weddings, this is for you.
If you want to start booking Italian weddings, this is for you.
If you want your brand to not just whisper but scream to your clients, this is for you.
If you want to laugh at possible rejection rather than cower from it, this is for you.
In this refreshing and honest episode, Rebekah (a past Mastermind grad) opens the doors wide open to the in’s and out’s of her business. How she started with literally nothing but a dream, grinded to her first fully booked season - to then adding $75k to her business while working less in the Mastermind, and now has gone on to build a wedding business where her new starting at prices are $10k. She’s traveling all around the world shooting weddings (which she opens up EXACTLY how she did it).
We love Rebekah and we know you will, too.

$108,246… that’s how much we made in the last 40 days working as photographers, filmmakers and brand strategists. It has been wild and yes this is our biggest month yet - $100k months are not normal for us. But here’s the crazy part — this wasn’t because we are better creatively than you.. heck, we might even be less talented than you creatively.. this is the story of learning to land on high-value projects in both the brand and wedding space and today, we’re breaking it all down.
Here’s what we are covering in this video:
- Breaking down the 8 projects that created the $108,264
- Value-Based Pricing (how hourly and day rates are the biggest ceiling in high income months)
- Increasing the Value of a Client (how to give them even more than they ask for)
- Overcoming Sales Objections (how to block pricing objections)
If we knew what you know now.. holy smokes. Those first 5-6 years would have been so much easier. A $108,246 Month would never be possible without learning the lessons the last decade has taught both of us.
Our goal is that this video massively shortcuts that learning curve for you. And that’s why we started Creativ Rise in 2019 - to help creatives get paid to do what they love by focusing on building a creative business strategy.
And we have a LIVE, free virtual workshop coming this Wednesday, Feb 26th at 4:30pm PST called the $10k/mo Creator Workshop! If you’re a creative who wants to hit consistent $10k/mo’s in your creative business, this is for you.
We are going to breaking down in further details our $100k month AND we’re also bringing on other $10k/per month creatives in the wedding, brand and social media management space to show how you can do it, too.
THIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE:
- How we made $108,000 since January 1, 2025 selling photo, video & brand campaigns
- The top trends of the creators who are making 6 figures in 2025
- The 5 ways to make $10K/Mo in 2025
- The biggest do’s and don’ts of growing your creative business
- Q&A
If you want to learn how to build a $10k/mo creative business, register now!
We only have 150 seats for this free virtual workshop, so register today!
🤙🏽

In today's episode we cover the highly requested topic of FUNNELS. How to get your next client by creating a lead generation system.
We used Creativ Rise Mastermind Graduate Grad Rebekah Soto as an example. Click here to see Rebekahs brand/funnels.
This week is a big week, the wait is over. You (the Creativ Rise Community) have been waiting 7 months for us to reopen the Creativ Rise Mastermind Applications.. The time has come!
If you don’t know what the Creativ Rise Mastermind is..
4 years ago we launched a small 6 week experiment to try and help a few creatives who followed christy and I as we built our photo and video businesses. Our goal was to help them break the creative struggle. Ditch the lack of business strategy and the struggling creative business that comes with it.
Today - 248 creative businesses have plunged through the 6 week experiment since 2019. Turns out the experiment worked.
Creativ Rise has given service based creative businesses the strategy, community and accountability systems to generate millions. Who said creatives have to be broke eh? Nah.
This week we launched the application for our 10th round of the 6 Week Mastermind. It’s a day our community has been waiting for since our last launch 7 months ago..
BUT, with good news comes bad news.
Good news (obviously): TODAY applications are LIVE 🚀
Bad news: at the time of filming this, 32/35 spots have already been claimed by people on the waitlist 🤯 Which means we only have 3 remaining spots for the Mastermind.
Here’s the dates you need to know:
Today - Applications are officially live for the remaining 3 businesses we will take on
September 3rd - applications close (or when we sell out - which will probably be in the next 1-3 days)
September 10th - our kickoff community call to start the 6 week mastermind
Here’s who this is for - service based creatives who are not yet making $8.5k/Mo and want to build the foundation to a $100,000/year business. But you want to do it without wasting 3-4 years trying to do it on your own. You want speed and a supportive community to run with.
If that's you, head to www.creativrise.com and apply ASAP! Or DM us "MAYBE" on Instagram and we will have a convo that gives you all the info you need to know if this is the right next step for your business!

Getting to work with your dream client might come by working with non-dream clients. 👀
Joey here. This week's podcast episode (Ep 127 ⚡️) I'm talking about how working with some of the coolest brands (Yeti, Ford, Uber, Hydroflask, etc.) came through working with clients that, to be honest, nobody really dreams of working with (ie. transport companies, promotional design warehouses, etc.).
Instead of focusing on "only working with outdoor brands" - I focused on high-leverage opportunities with all different types of companies. This meant I was working way less, for way more. This afforded me to spend my time in the outdoors and build a reputation as somebody who is an expert in that space - and my dream clients started actually approaching me (or started being way more receptive to my outreaches).
What are those high leverage opportunities? Tune into this week's episode to find out!

This week we interviewed @petervndr on the podcast - and no, you're not having deja-vu.
Peter, a now $20k month agency owner, won one of our past free coaching sessions that we filmed live & put on the podcast (Ep 79). At the time, he was associate shooting for wedding videographers and was trying to take a stab at growing his own wedding videography brand.
Fast forward to now, Peter has been through both the Creativ Rise Mastermind and attended an Inner Circle Retreat, and founded Social Club Studios - a content agency for high-level professional entrepreneurs. He's becoming an authority in his space and is confidently pushing himself and his business forward. He's niched into a clientele that has scaled his company to $20k per month.
He gives actionable advice and practical tools on how he built his agency to $20k per month, and how you can too. ⚡️
You're gonna love Peter just as much as we do. You can follow Peter at @petervndr 🎉

We’ve got 8 tips for you about money that will help you be informed which leads to financial confidence which then creates financial control.

Results are great, but only if you know what actions it took to get there.
What’s trackable is scalable. If you can’t track it, you can’t scale it.
We dive into this headfirst on our most recent episode: talking about betting on yourself, taking risks and how it transforms your community + your business.
