You enjoy arranging photos, simple video editing, storytelling, and helping people with care and patience.
One respectful memorial slideshow from family-approved images, names and music, with a checked video format and a designated family reviewer.
Pacing
Follow the seven-day starter journey. The faster First Money Move is optional; keep its goal without rushing permissions or safety.
A finished sample, a clear proposal and honest feedback are progress. A sale, platform acceptance or earnings are never guaranteed.
1. What am I selling?
One respectful memorial slideshow from family-approved images, names and music, with a checked video format and a designated family reviewer.
2. Who will buy it?
Families, memorial organizers, and funeral or celebration-of-life providers seeking slideshow support. Start with the specific customer and deliverable below rather than offering every possible service.
3. Where do I find those buyers?
Work through a family’s chosen organizer or an authorized event provider. Ask about tone and venue playback rather than making an unsolicited emotional sales pitch.
4. Which software and tools do I use?
Copy the approved images into a numbered sequence, assemble in Clipchamp with gentle transitions, add properly licensed music and test the actual exported file on the intended equipment.
5. How do I create my first product or service?
Arrange by life stages or themes: family, friendships, work, and favorite activities. Flag uncertain dates and identities. Verify names, dates, captions and the family-approved image order.
6. Where do I publish, list, or promote it?
Deliver the approved files privately through a named-recipient Google Drive folder or the agreed marketplace order. Promote only samples you have permission to share.
7. How do I get paid?
Charge per package. Agree on photo count, runtime, captions, revisions, deadline, and playback format. Account for music licensing and extras. Set the fee and payment stages in writing; verify actual funds in your own eligible business account.
8. What should I accomplish in my first seven days?
Finish one manageable memorial slideshows sample or authorized task, check its quality, approach a relevant customer and record the result without assuming a sale.

2. Where to Find Customers and How the Transaction Works
Start with one audience and a small, clearly defined offer. Use an official contact route; do not harvest or buy contact lists.
Confirm duration, photo count, music responsibility, revision deadline, venue requirements and family approval before final delivery.
A focused first customer
Work through a family’s chosen organizer or an authorized event provider. Ask about tone and venue playback rather than making an unsolicited emotional sales pitch.
Copy the approved images into a numbered sequence, assemble in Clipchamp with gentle transitions, add properly licensed music and test the actual exported file on the intended equipment.
Verify names, dates, captions and the family-approved image order.
Check music permissions for the intended venue and distribution.
Getting paid: Charge per package. Agree on photo count, runtime, captions, revisions, deadline, and playback format. Account for music licensing and extras. Agree price, included work, due dates and any expenses before proceeding; a sample or inquiry is not a paid order.
Safety: Do not invent tributes, use synthetic voices of the deceased without authorization or alter sensitive facts. Limit access and agree deletion; a venue license may not cover online distribution.
A clear transaction and handover
Once there is interest, write down exactly what is included: One respectful memorial slideshow from family-approved images, names and music, with a checked video format and a designated family reviewer.
Confirm duration, photo count, music responsibility, revision deadline, venue requirements and family approval before final delivery.
For a direct service, use an eligible business invoicing method such as PayPal: create an invoice, identify the customer and deliverables, review charges and terms, then send. Follow marketplace payment rules for marketplace sales.
Test aspect ratio, playback sound, duration and backup delivery.
Getting paid: Check fees, availability, tax and refund obligations for your location and channel. Track received payments separately from quotes; never rely on a payment screenshot or pay to unlock a customer payment.
Safety: Check activity-specific licenses, insurance and local requirements with the relevant authority before accepting work. No platform listing, tool account or sample removes those obligations.
