Question 1

What is your hourly rate?

Accepted Answer

My shoot rate is $150 per hour with a two hour minimum. I do not take on shoot work under two hours. The 1 on 1 Strategy Call is a 30 minute phone or video session and is priced separately at $75.

Question 2

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer six services: 1 on 1 Strategy Call, 1 on 1 Creator Mentorship, Business Spotlight Feature, In House Content Shoot, Event Content Creator, and Turnkey YouTube Channel Setup. I also offer shoot packages in 2, 4, 6, and 8 hour blocks. You will find every service with full details on the Book Now page.

Question 3

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

No. Every booking is paid in full upfront through the website checkout when you book. There is no pay later option.

Question 4

Do you only promote restaurants?

Accepted Answer

No. I showcase all kinds of businesses, including barbershops, gyms, boutiques, clinics, and luxury stays. I am open to any brand that fits my personal style.

Question 5

What is your policy on authenticity and integrity?

Accepted Answer

I only share places I genuinely love. That is how I protect audience trust. Booking a promotion covers production and exposure. It does not buy a fake review.

Question 6

Do you guarantee specific view counts or sales results?

Accepted Answer

No. Algorithm performance and sales depend on your business and on third party platforms. I guarantee professional production and creative effort only.

Question 7

Where do you shoot?

Accepted Answer

Every shoot happens on location at your business. I am based in Houston, Texas and I come to you.

Question 8

Do you shoot on a professional camera?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything is shot on iPhone.

Question 9

What is the difference between a Spotlight Feature and an In House Content Shoot?

Accepted Answer

A Spotlight Feature is a full marketing campaign on my social channels, and I appear on camera. An In House Content Shoot gives you raw, high quality content for your own business use, without my face or voice.

Question 10

Can I have the raw footage or working files from a Spotlight Feature?

Accepted Answer

No. I retain exclusive ownership and copyright of all raw files. Disliking your appearance, outfit, angles, or public comments does not qualify for a refund or a reshoot.

Question 11

Who handles the editing?

Accepted Answer

I do. Full editing is included with every shoot. You receive finished content that is ready to post.

Question 12

Why do you use an iPhone instead of large cameras and heavy studio lights?

Accepted Answer

A mobile setup is less intrusive and keeps staff and guests comfortable. It captures authentic energy and avoids the safety issues that come with large equipment.

Question 13

Why do you ask to turn down background music while filming?

Accepted Answer

Loud background audio can trigger copyright strikes that mute or delete the video. Lowering the music during speaking segments keeps the content live and protected.

Question 14

What platforms will my business be featured on, and how are posts shared?

Accepted Answer

I distribute content across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and X. I use tags and location links to drive traffic directly to your business.

Question 15

Will filming interfere with my operating hours or guests?

Accepted Answer

The footprint is small and built to blend in. We coordinate with management on the best times and locations so disruption stays minimal.

Question 16

How fast will I receive content or see my posts go live?

Accepted Answer

Standard turnaround is 24 to 72 hours, depending on the package.

Question 17

Can I request changes to my content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every shoot includes one round of minor tweaks. Send your revision requests within 72 hours of delivery by email to IAmPatrickBlackwood@gmail.com and I will take care of them. Note that disliking your appearance, outfit, or angles does not qualify for a reshoot.

Question 18

What are the financial, venue, and product requirements for a commercial feature shoot?

Accepted Answer

The venue sponsors all products and production expenses and makes sure everything is camera ready. I pay zero out of pocket costs for featured items or travel.

Question 19

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

No. I do not do refunds. That is not negotiable. All bookings are final once paid. You can always reschedule with at least 48 hours notice. Send the request in writing to iampatrickblackwood@gmail.com. A no show forfeits the booking in full.

Question 20

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Head to the Book Now page and choose your service. Not sure which one fits? Start with the 1 on 1 Strategy Call and we will map out the right plan together. Have questions first? Send them through the contact page.

Question 21

Can we do mentorship sessions over the phone or online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Strategy calls are available globally by phone or video. The 1 on 1 Strategy Call is $75. A strict 5 minute grace period applies. If you are more than 5 minutes late, the session is closed and is not refunded. You can always reschedule with at least 48 hours notice.

Question 22

Do you offer in person mentorship?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In person sessions are available in the Houston area. Book the 1 on 1 Creator Mentorship to reserve your session.

Question 23

Can you train my staff?

Accepted Answer

I do not offer staff or group training. The 1 on 1 Creator Mentorship is built for one person at a time so you get my full attention.

Question 24

Can you tell me what equipment kit you use for mobile filming?

Accepted Answer

I share links to the exact gear and lighting I use every day. Some of those links are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission if you buy through them.

Question 25

I am a total beginner. Can I still book a mentorship session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I teach a step by step system that works at any skill level. Results depend on your own execution and consistency.

Question 26

Do I need expensive cameras or studio equipment to learn from you?

Accepted Answer

No. An iPhone is enough to start. We can build your lighting and audio kit over time as you grow.

Question 27

What makes your mentorship different from other coaches?

Accepted Answer

I teach systems from 15 years of real work and from building verified brands. The focus is practical skill, not theory.

Question 28

What topics can we cover during mentorship?

Accepted Answer

We cover camera settings, storytelling, lighting, simple editing, and social growth. The goal is for you to be self sufficient.

Question 29

Can you help me launch my YouTube channel from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer turnkey setups that include visual assets and technical optimization.
