Making Money with a Drone – Any Tips

Hey all,

I just got a drone and I’m thinking about ways to make some extra cash with it. Anyone here doing this? What are the best opportunities or gigs out there for drone work?

Appreciate any tips or success stories!

I’ve played around with one too. You might want to look into real estate photography—agents are always on the hunt for cool aerial shots. Also, local events or sports games can be great for capturing unique footage. I’ve found that offering to shoot short videos for small businesses can be a win-win.

So many people would pay for aerial shots of their homes. Not all kinds of labor require $500 per hour; you may make a good little side hustle for $20 for each job simply taking a shot, or $50 for a framed version of it.
