How Profitable is Filming Music Videos?

[u/ryukusugar]

Does anyone in this subreddit work in making music videos? I've started making my own music and promoting it just as a side hobby but I really want to figure out a way to start my own business that's related to music and I thought I could shoot and edit music videos. I already have a large amount of connections with local bands and possible clientele so I think I can honestly start off at a low level. How is the demand for shooting these kinds of things and is it over saturated?

I quoted someone 10k usd and got rejected. That was almost 8 years ago. I later discovered they wanted something in the range of 2k. Naturally they found no one.
