Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent on learning and certification, which included studying for the FAA Part 107 exam. Once certified, time was divided between client work (shooting and editing footage), marketing (networking, social media promotion), and administrative tasks (scheduling, invoicing). The time commitment was higher upfront due to learning and setup, but it became more consistent as the business stabilized. Online, people report varying time commitments, with some spending more time on marketing and others on client work, depending on demand and business growth.
