Expert Tips for Competing with Drone Job Websites Like Dronebase
Today’s question is about Dronebase. Should drone pilots be worried about drone job companies undercutting prices and cornering the market?
Our caller, Chucky, has come up with an interesting question today. Chucky is a professional drone mapper who has even attended our mapping class. Our caller is worried because Dronebase has started offering drone mapping services at dirt cheap rates. Will this aggressive pricing affect Chucky’s drone business in any way?
Valid question. To answer, we first explain how drone job websites like Dronebase operate. Often, complex jobs with stringent technical requirements are awarded to unqualified pilots with little to no experience. Given this low caliber of pilots, will client requirements be adequately met?
Further, we also reveal that achieving competency in drone mapping requires hard work and continuous skill up-gradation via quality education. Given these factors, should Chucky view Dronebase as a potential threat to his drone mapping business? Tune in to find out. Thanks for the great question, Chucky. Fly Safe!
