Instagram, Twitter and maybe even a YouTube account. And they’re probably posting to those accounts once a day, if not a few times. o compliment the stream of ads, graphics, T photos & videos they’re already likely to be posting, a 360 post is much more likely to catch their audience’s attention, due to being different. Think about the BEST 360 photos you’ve seen on Facebook. Could you make something similar to this for a client?

Maybe it’s a great 360 inside their shop (aka a one photo virtual tour). Perhaps it’s a shot inside one of their products (for example, the client is a car dealership and you get a great 360 inside their most impressive car). The bottom line is, businesses need great content. And if you can provide that for your client in the form of a 360 shot, then it’s something you can charge for, just like you would with any other types of content.

9 EVENTS & WEDDINGS
360 photo & video is a powerful way of ‘capturing
the moment’ to watch back with a much greater level of realism & immersion than flat photos could ever achieve. Imagine watching back your own wedding, in a VR headset, in 3D 360, 20 years later. It would feel like you were standing there in the moment once again. If you’re currently working as a photographer or videographer and shoot events & weddings, then upselling 360 content is a great opportunity to add even more value to your client for more money. Show them some great examples of a wedding in a headset and they’ll be sold instantly! And it doesn’t have to be just weddings. Any type of event where a photographer would be required, could also be suitable for 360 content.

10 REFRAMED 360 CONTENT
You probably know by now that 360 cameras
aren’t only for 360 content. Sometimes you just need a fun & unique angle to capture a moment with. Enter: the 360 camera. While you wouldn’t use it for an entire client shoot, for your corporate videos when there’s any kind of action involved, using a 360 camera will help capture some amazing B Roll footage you can then reframe, and splice in with the rest of your footage. You can even offer your clients extra social media content, such as tiny planets, hyperlapses, time lapses, reframed 360 video and more, to help beef up your videography & photography packages.
