Theatrical Headshot Feedback
This was my first time ever shooting an actors headshot. Looking for honest feedback to improve on the next one.
Dragging and dropping Splice loops isn't producing. Congratulations on knowing how to drag stems onto a timeline. Now try actually producing something.
reddit.comHiring a part-time B2B appointment setter for my small OC business (remote, paid weekly)
1099 Contractor | 25–35 hrs/month | $100 per held appointment + commission on closed revenue
I run a solo local service business here in Orange County. The service is visual, easy to explain, and sold to professional offices around Orange County. I'm the owner and I'm also the one delivering the service, which is exactly the problem: I have a full lead list and no time left to call it.
Looking for one person with B2b phone sales experience to make calls part time and book intro appointments with decision makers. I take the appointment from there, close it myself, and handle all the actual work. Your job ends when a real prospect is on my calendar.
Being upfront about the structure:
Pay:
- $100 for every appointment that holds (decision maker, confirmed time, shows up — reschedules that later hold still count)
- 10% of revenue on every appointment that becomes a booked session, bumped to 15% on bookings over $2,000
- Paid weekly. Commission pays when the client's deposit clears.
What you're NOT doing: Buying anything, recruiting anyone, using your personal network, or selling to consumers. This is my business and I'm looking for a real sales rep. No scams, no pyramid schemes, no multilevel marketing.
This is calling businesses during business hours from a lead list I already built, with a call script I already wrote but can be modified as your work it. You'd be the second person in a two-person operation, and I'll train you on the service, which takes about an hour to understand because it's a simple visual product, not enterprise software.
Good fit: you've done some phone sales work before (inside sales, appointment setting, front desk at a busy office all count), you sound like a normal professional human on the phone, and you can commit to consistent calling blocks each week.
If you're interested, DM me with a sentence or two about your phone experience. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.
[OFFER] Free professional headshots in Newport Beach (Round 2)
I ran this 2 months ago and it filled up fast, so I'm opening another round. I'm a headshot photographer in Newport Beach building out my portfolio, and I'm offering free sessions to people in exchange for permission to use your image in my portfolio and an honest review of your experience.
What you get: a 30 minutes session, and 3 professionally retouched final images delivered digitally (I usually deliver more). These are the same headshots I normally charge for — LinkedIn-ready.
What I ask: you sign a simple release letting me use the photos in my portfolio, show up on time, and come camera-ready in business casual or business professional attire. 18+ only. Looking for a mix of ages, industries, and looks this round.
Scheduling: I work a corporate job during the day, so sessions are weekdays before 9am / after 5pm, or weekend mornings. Shoots happen in the Newport Beach / Costa Mesa area.
To grab a spot: DM me with your email and a link to your LinkedIn so I know you're a real human.
-----
Bonus option — on-site sessions at your workplace: If you have an office and a few coworkers who'd also want headshots, I'll bring my full lighting setup to you. This is normally my premium service for corporate teams, and I'm looking for one or two workplaces this round to build out that side of my portfolio. Great fit if your team's photos are a mix of vacation crops and selfies. DM me with roughly how many people and where you're located.
Which all inclusive resort for 5 days with kids age 3 and 5? Is Ziva construction a problem?
We were initially set on Ziva, but after calling the resort, they stated that rooms aren't assigned until about 24 hours before arrival, and there is no guarantee we will get a new room. Why this matters to me: This will be my parents' first vacation, really ever, and I want them to have the best time possible, and I want them to have a recently renovated quality room. I'm also unsure if the Ziva construction is going to hinder any of their relaxation.
Does anyone have recent experience with Ziva?
My other options were Garza Blanca but I heard there isn't much to do for kids. What else would you recommend that's great for young kids?
My Offer:
Let me take a professional corporate headshot of you in my garage studio located in Newport Beach. This helps me build out my portfolio as I transition into doing more corporate shoots.
You get 3 free professionally shot and retouched photos (2 poses + 1 forward-facing passport photo). In return, you share your honest feedback about working with me.
Requirements:
- 18+
- Any gender or race welcome
- Punctual and respectful
- Professional grooming and attire (business casual or business professional)
FAQ:
- Is it really free? Yes!
- What's the catch? I’d like your honest feedback about your experience working with me and your thoughts on the finished delivered photos. I’d also ask for a quick Google Business review once we're done.
- How long does this take? I usually shoot a client portrait in my studio in under 15 minutes.
- How long before I get my free photos? The editing and retouching time is much longer than the actual studio time, but I usually deliver photos in 3 to 7 days.
- Where is this? I shoot in my garage studio in Newport Beach near Hoag Hospital.
- When can we do this? We can schedule a date and time that works for both of us.
- How can I be safe? You are more than welcome to bring a friend, family member, or significant other along with you. Whatever you need to feel comfortable and safe, I’m happy to accommodate.
How to apply?
Shoot me a DM with a link to your LinkedIn profile or a recent photo. I like to see who I am shooting beforehand so I can plan the right lighting setups and backdrop colors for your specific features and skin tone! I will review your message and let you know if we can get something scheduled.
Thank you!
