Commercial Photographer
In 2019 I was fed up with my 9-5.
I was taking street and cityscape photos since 2016, so I figured my camera was the fastest way to working for myself.
In 2019 I decided I was going to work full time for myself as a photographer (and eventually videographer).
In 2020, I quit my job in the middle of the pandemic to pursue photography full-time. The crazy part?
I had one $500 client.
Within 2 years I’d worked with over 50 high-paying clients using the exact system I’m about to teach you.
In 2021, I started sharing videos on YouTube teaching the business behind photography and videography. Messages from creatives telling me they were able to land clients, negotiate better deals, and even leave their 9-5's because of the content I was sharing flooded my inbox. Crazy. Today my channel has 75,000+ creatives learning the strategies.
In 2022 I started Creative Biz Launch so I could help as many creatives as possible.
My mission is simple: change lives by teaching business systems to my fellow creative photographers & videographers.
In 2023 I was spending about half my time at Pieta Productions working with clients, and the other half teaching photographers and videographers how to build their businesses.
For the past year I’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you Creative Biz Launch 2.0. It has everything from v1.0 that helped hundreds of our client land high-paying clients and build thriving creative businesses. Now with even more proven systems, step-by-step guidance, and the latest real-world strategies!
My mission with CBL is to provide creatives (like you!) with the best, most accessible and straightforward education that isn’t taught in photo or film school.
I genuinely value connecting with our community and believe that a rising tide lifts all boats.
I’m excited to have you join our community and be a part of this incredible story.
Let's turn your passion into a thriving business.
Creative Biz Launch is completely self paced.
We recommend joining our optional community and coaching membership to get accountability and personalized support implementing the system.
Many students start seeing improvements in their business within the first month but results will vary based on a variety of factors. The most significant results typically come after implementing strategies from courses 2 & 3 which focus on systemizing client acquisition.
Like anything in life, you will get out of this program what you put into it. While we do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, the specific results you get are up to you and based on dozens of factors outside our control.
We not only teach you how to get clients, we give you the systems to handle more clients than you thought possible. It starts with our Creative Biz Dashboard. The all-in-one Notion template to organize projects, share mood boards, and even a place work with your new editor.
Our Flawless Fulfillment framework makes it easier than ever to handle onboarding prep, asset review, and final asset delivery. All while setting you up for a 5-figure retainer deal.
You certainly can, it just takes a 2-3 years of trial & error. I'd argue that if you could have already done it for free, you wouldn't be here reading this question.
If you're making less than $10k a month, this system is designed specifically for you.
If you're making more than $100k/yr we recommend our private coaching to scale even faster. Apply here.
We recommend setting aside at least 3-5 hours per week to go through the course materials and implement the strategies. However, the course is self-paced, so you can adjust based on your schedule.
Creative Biz Launch is built in a way where many of our students with a full-time job and kids still succeed.
Absolutely! We include our Business Basics course inside of the system to get you set up for success quickly and avoid the painful mistakes along the way.
You get immediate access to all course materials upon enrollment. This allows you to work through the content at your own pace and revisit modules as needed.
We do offer a separate coaching program for creatives that want personalized guidance and want to results faster.
While the course is tailored for photographers and videographers, many of the business principles and systems can be applied to other creative fields. We have students from various backgrounds (3D artists, designers, content creators) who've successfully adapted our strategies.
Creative Biz Launch is international! We have students in the US, Canada, all over Europe (UK, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Denmark... to name a few), Australia, Asia, and South America.
We have an emphasis on principles in this program. Principles that are universal no matter where you're based.
You're at the very bottom of the page so I'm guessing you want to know, "is this really for me?"
I want to make this a no brainer decision.
That's why I've added an insane guarantee. If within 30 days you want a refund, for whatever reason, we'll give you 100% of your money back.
The only way I'm able to make such a bold guarantee is because I know this system is life changing. It's changed my life. It's changed the lives of so many photographers and videographers, and I want nothing more than the opportunity to work with you and change your life as well.
But the only way for that to happen is from the inside, not the outside.
I invite you to take the time to truly evaluate whether Creative Biz Launch is a good fit for you. To do that, you need to see what we have to offer from the inside.
Best case you get the creative biz of your dreams, you start landing clients on repeat and hit your long-term goals.
Worst case you tell me I suck, I hit the refund button, and you get four weeks of free training. Just email me at chris@creativebizlaunch.com and request a refund.
Do nothing and stay where you are.
Or tell yourself, "I'm worth it" and make the investment in yourself.
Both options are risk free. But only one of them has the potential change your life.

Do you feel overwhelmed with all the advice out there? Have you wanted to build your confidence pitching clients and actually closing deals?
Referrals and some messages sent... but nothing seems to stick. You find yourself taking random jobs just to get by.
You hear of creatives getting paid multiple thousands for just a few photos and videos... what are they doing right?
Then this system is for you.
If you’re a photographer or videographer, I’m guessing you’ve tried to land clients using one or all of these methods:
x Posting constantly on social media
x Referrals or word-of-mouth
x Discounting your rates
x Boosting social media posts
x Networking events with little ROI
x Sending cold messages with no proven system
You know that you’d be able to help clients out with your photos or videos, but they just don’t seem to want to work with you. And the ones that do barely have a budget. Here’s something you may not be ready to hear…
Look, this is a hard truth. Getting clients is solved problem. It's easy if you have the right systems in place. I hate seeing struggling photographers and videographers out there. The good news? It doesn't have to be that way.
There's loads of videos on YouTube giving you the information on how to land a client, but none of these give you the implementation. I've spent years perfecting a system that lands you clients and provides you with predictable revenue. It's worked for me, it's worked for the students in Creative Biz Launch, and I can't wait for you to be next.
Creative Biz Launch offers a complete system to transform your creative business. With our client acquisition system, you'll learn how to land client after client. And that's just the start.
I'm here to help you build a Creative Business System. Here's how we do it 👇
Everything you need to run a creative biz.
Everything from where to find clients to closing the deal.
Private Discord access to get support when you have questions about your business, clients, or the program.
No more landing in spam. Learn the magic behind cold email.
LLCs, insurance, niches, website, and more.
Go from $1k per client to $10k+
Remove yourself from your biz by hiring and automating it all.

And we're just getting started...
Keep reading to learn all that's included in the complete Creative Biz System.
Step 5: Hire a team and automate your biz or coast on 6 figures a year. You decide.
If you're reading this, chances are you're already great at what you do. Photography or videography is what you're the best at. This module walks through how we can take our creativity and build a stable business foundation on top of everything we know.
Learn the one service, one avatar, one and channel method to hit your first six-figure year. Get the mindset training of what it takes to be a creative entrepreneur and the practical frameworks that make you a productivity machine.
Learn how to find a profitable niche and set up the basics like LLCs, bank accounts, insurance, accounting, and more.
Get the foundation for an effective cold email system. The sad truth is that most creatives set up their cold emails wrong. They send hundreds of emails and quit because they're getting few, if any, responses. This module wraps up by laying the foundation for cold email setup. We help you authenticate properly, show you automated warm-up tools, and ensure your main domain stays spam-free (while allowing your cold domain to do the heavy lifting).

Both options are risk free. But, the only thing guaranteed to not help you is not enrolling in the program.
The life you're dreaming of is on the other side saying "I'm worth it" and investing in yourself.
You're at the very bottom of the page so I'm guessing you want to know, "is this really for me?"
I want to make this a no brainer decision.
That's why I've added an insane guarantee. If within 45 days you want a refund, for whatever reason, we'll give you 100% of your money back.
The only way I'm able to make such a bold guarantee is because I know this system is life changing. It's changed my life. It's changed the lives of so many photographers and videographers, and I want nothing more than the opportunity to work with you and change your life as well.
But the only way for that to happen is from the inside, not the outside.
I invite you to take the time to truly evaluate whether Creative Biz Launch is a good fit for you. To do that, you need to see what we have to offer from the inside.
Best case you get the creative biz of your dreams, you start landing clients on repeat and hit your long-term goals.
Worst case you tell me I suck, I hit the refund button, and you get six weeks of free training. Just email me at chris@creativebizlaunch.com and request a refund.
So you have a decision.
Do nothing and stay where you are.
Or tell yourself, "I'm worth it" and make the investment in yourself.
Both options are risk free. But only one of them will change your life.

You can ask any questions about program content and you'll get an answer from our founder, Chris Pieta.

Flexibility is key in this program, but dedicating a few hours weekly to learn and implement its strategies will accelerate your progress. The more time you spend in applying the system's tools and methods, the faster you'll see tangible results.
In 2020, I quit my job in the middle of the pandemic to pursue photography full-time. The crazy part?
I had one $500 client.
Fast forward 2 years and I landed 50+ brands as clients using the system I'm about to teach you.
In 2021 I started a YouTube channel. I taught the business behind being a photographer and videographer. I would get messages from creatives telling me they were able to land new clients, negotiate better deals, and even leave their 9-5's because of the content I was sharing. Crazy. Today my channel has 67,000+ creatives learning the strategies.
In 2022 I launched Creative Biz Launch to help as many creatives as possible. My mission is simple: change lives by teaching creatives business systems. Business is simple once you've already made all the mistakes along the way. I made these mistakes so you don't have to.
I’m excited to have you join our community and be a part of this incredible story. Let's turn your passion into a thriving business.
When I was stuck in my 9-5, I wanted out. My goal wasn't to become a professional photographer. It was to build a business that would replace my 9-5. Photography just happened to be the thing I was good at.
That mindset dictated everything I did. I didn't look at the traditional ways photographers and videographers operated their businesses.
It all seemed so backwards and outdated to me... Build a portfolio, hope clients see it, get your name out there in networking events... this wasn't 2004 anymore.
There were those that said the answer was posting on Instagram every day for years hoping brands reach out. I didn't want to wait years. I wanted to escape the rat race ASAP.
I went to college for chemistry. Little did I know, being a math and science nerd was the perfect background for the photo and video biz I was building.
"Chris, we don't need a darkroom any more for photography... what does chemistry have to do with building a photo and video biz?"
I'm glad you asked. See, I had a problem solving approach to everything. I didn't subscribe to traditional thinking. I used a first principle approach. I took some online courses, watched youtube videos, and started building a system. Systems just make sense in my head (my friends tell me I act like a robot... but that's another story).
I built the system out, tested it, broke it, fixed it, and repeated this process from January 2020 to July 2020. And that's when I landed my first client. A whopping $500.
It was great to get paid, but even better, I had proof that the system worked. If I could land 1 client, I could land 50. I called my boss up and put in my 2 weeks notice.
Over the next 2 years I would go on to work with 50+ brands and scale my company rapidly to a team of 4.
During this time, I saw my creative friends struggling to land clients... some of them quit their jobs and had to go back to full-time work, because they weren't landing deals. Most were barely scraping by.
But somehow I was landing multiple high-paying clients a month and renewing existing client retainers.
Why were my peers struggling while I was able to land clients so easily?
Simple. I developed a systematic approach. I wasn't just shooting in the dark. I was following a proven framework that would produce results over and over again.
This same system has been used by creatives all over the world.
Jose used the system to land a $10k client.
Aaron is landing consistent $2-6k deals.
Victoria quit her job immediately after implementing the system.
Syaafi closed a $13k SGD ($9k USD) deal in just a few months.
This is what I give you today. A complete creative business system.
You're one decision away from the life you're dreaming of.
Your coach,
Chris Pieta
