ADU 01110: Are Technical Drone Services More Lucrative Compared to Creative Drone Services? - a podcast by Drone U

Today's show is about the commercial viability of technical drone services like NDVI inspections and drone mapping. From a purely commercial perspective, are technical drone services more lucrative compared to creative drone services?



Our caller for today, Jun is a drone photographer and videographer from Los Angeles. In the wake of the pandemic, as opportunities in the creative field have dried up, Jun is wondering if providing technical drone services would benefit him commercially. Specifically, Jun is considering NDVI inspections and drone mapping/modeling.How can Jun do an accurate cost-benefit analysis before he starts offering a new service? Sure. You might be able to charge what seems like an attractive rate. But, you will have to invest in expensive drone equipment, accessories, and training before you start taking these jobs.



Topics discussed in today's show include pricing strategies, and how to protect and grow your drone business in the wake of the pandemic. Thanks for the great question, Jun. Fly Safe!
