A strangely phrased question.

However as a starting point, what research have you done to date?

Presumably you've spoken with agents, what was the feedback?

Who are your competitors?

What is your target niche?

Do you have any experience of drone photography or are you starting from just an idea?

@Portalhab - that post looks like it was written by chatGPT.

Have you got a drone license? Are you an accomplished pilot? Have you researched the competition? Do you even know if there is sufficient interest by estate agents in such a service?

Either that or someone in a pub convinced that the secret of SEO is just repeating key words

Think you just nailed it.

@Portalhab - I’ve just looked at your profile and website. It seems you already have all the answers to your questions. Or at least the questions ChatGPT wrote for you.

@Portalhab we do welcome you to UKBF but you may need to temper your claims of excellence. And stop using ChatGPT.

If I had a £1 for every drone photographer I've met at networking events recently... i'd at least be able to afford a couple of pints!

Seems to be quite a crowded marketplace now... and often seems to be retirees looking to work part time that get in to it. Might be a difficult business opportunity as a result.
