How Your Home Can Pay for Itself (and More!) in Just One Booking!
Running out of ways to bring in extra income while juggling everything life throws at you? Have you ever wondered if your home could do the heavy lifting while you enjoy your tea? ☕ Well, sit tight, because we’re about to show you how your home could start earning up to £1,500 a day (yes, a day!) by simply becoming a shoot location!
The Magic of a Single Booking
Picture this: One day of filming, one photoshoot, and you’ve already earned back the cost of our Becoming a Shoot Location Host course - and then some!
This isn’t a far-fetched dream. It’s the reality for many of our hosts, who turned their everyday homes into highly sought-after locations. I remember my first booking - excited and a little nervous - but by the end of the shoot, I realised just how powerful and enjoyable this side hustle could be.
Now, we know what you’re thinking…
“Does my house even qualify for that?”
Let’s break it down for you.
1. You Don’t Need a Mansion, You Need Motivation
One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that they need a perfect, Pinterest-worthy home to attract shoots. But here’s the truth: the film and photography industries are after real homes, not designer dream houses.
I once hosted a crew who loved my home’s warm, lived-in charm - wooden chairs, quirky tiles and all. It wasn’t perfect, but it was exactly what they were looking for. So, whether your home is a country cottage, a sleek modern flat, or something in between, your home could be the next TV star.
2. No Major Renovations Required
Before you start browsing wallpaper samples, let’s put those worries to rest. You don’t need to repaint the house or splurge on fancy decor to make your home shoot-ready.
Sometimes, all you need is a quick tidy-up and a welcoming vibe. (And trust me, I’ve had last-minute bookings where a few clever fixes made all the difference!) We cover exactly how to prep your home in our course, from easy styling tips to what production companies really care about when they step through the door.
3. Think of It as Your Home’s Own Side Hustle
We’ve all heard the side hustle ideas—rent out your home on Airbnb, sell stuff online - but this? Renting your home for shoots is not only a fun way to generate income, but it’s also super flexible. You’re in control: the dates, the bookings, the details.
One of the best parts? Seeing your home on screen or in print. Imagine watching your favourite show or commercial or flicking through a glossy interiors magazine and recognising your own living room. It’s pretty surreal! And awesome!
Ready to Dive In?
If your home is already pulling double duty as your workspace, why not let it work a little harder for you? One booking could bring in £1,500, and you could earn back the cost of the course in just a single day, with change left over.
It doesn’t take a special kind of house - it just takes a house like yours. So, if you’re even a little curious about becoming a shoot location host, remember:
“One day of filming, one photoshoot, and you’ve earned back the course fee - the rest is profit!”
You could be just one booking away from earning back the entire cost of our course and unlocking a new income stream. Your home is full of potential - let’s make it work for you.
